Just found out today that our youngest cat Meg
is having kittens, 3 the vet said, or maybe more. Her due date is about 3 weeks away so we have been cleaning and tidying certain areas of the house ready for her and now we need some boxes to line with the softest fleece in case she takes a fancy to using any of them to give birth in. This will be the first time for us. I am more used to hatching eggs and rearing chicks than with a live birth but i cant wait.
I have some eggs due to hatch on 3rd May (Speckled Sussex, Owlbeard and Brahma in case you were wondering) and then Meg is due to give birth or kitten on 16th May. We will be overrun with new life. Picture the scene...
Chicks will be cheeping, growing their first feathers, learning to open and flap their wings and the kittens will be running around annoying our other cats, climbing up the furniture and our legs (oh the pain of those tiny claws) and I will be standing in the middle of it all wondering what possessed me. Am i mad to still want to go ahead anyway? Answers on a postcard to...
