Good news is the Dairy Queen has accepted all six kittens (hers of course) but the four others as well. All are happily nursing away, and dead fleas are all over the cage. Ughhh. I'm stripping it down later, and giving the D.Q some fresh bedding. Luckily the washing machine is right next to her humble little abode! D.Q is a nice mellow cat...long and black!
