Kitten Season is upon us! Or just about....

Hi kitty lovers! I've had a nice long break over the kitten off-season since my last pair were adopted right before Thanksgiving. The bottle baby nursery was able to close shortly after, and the ratio of fosters to kittens flipped. There were WAY more fosters than kittens, so we all got on a waiting list to be notified if/when more babies showed up.



On Sunday evening I picked up Miss Lucy, a gorgeous torbie kittey who is VERY pregnant. This will be my first ever pregnant mama, so I'm very excited! Unfortunately since she came in from a shelter in Houston we don't know anything about her. She's somewhere in her last two weeks before her labor, but that's about all we can tell. The only reason we know that is because we can see the kittens visibly moving inside her, and they only start to get really active like that shortly before the end of the pregnancy. 

Miss Lucy is an absolute doll, and starts purring the minute a hand touches her to pet her. She's got a lovely setup in our master bathroom/closet and seems to have made herself right at home, claiming one of our bathroom rugs as her favorite nap spot. 

She gave us a good surprise yesterday by going into a false-labor; She seems to be having mild contractions, possibly because of how much the babies are moving inside her. Despite the discomfort she's still a goof-ball and wants to play a lot! She's snubbing the kitten chow, but is constantly eating her wet food. 

I'm already so fond of this super sweet mama! This is going to be a great start to this year's kitten season.
