Mollie June had 4 babies during the night and early Monday. She had two when I woke up Monday morning and when I came home about noon Monday she had two more. Sadly, one of my other cats (Buttermilk) got in the basket with them yesterday and killed one. I think he thought it was a mouse or something to eat. I hate that it happened. After that happened yesterday Mollie went up to him and swatted him - then 2 or 3 times after that she got him around the neck and was biting him. When I seen her do that last night she actually looked like she was trying to drag him. I'm sure she knew that he had hurt one of her babies - it's odd though because Buttermilk is actually one of her kittens from the last litter.
Other news, I gave my dog Jake to an agency who puts dogs and cats up for adoption. I was going to be gone for 10 days over Christmas and thought instead of taking him to the vet for boarding, that was a good time to give him away. I'm gone so much and he sometimes doesn't get the attention he needs or wants. I feel bad and/or guilty though. Jake was a birthday present for my son when he turned 13. Now he hasn't lived at home for 3 years, but I still had Jake. He is a good dog - very loyal. Hi sonly bad point is he likes to jump on people. I think that comes from not getting attention though. It's so hard to give up animals, isn't it? Sometimes, I wonder why we have them to begin with, because it breaks your heart when something happens to them.
