I was doing my 90MPH mad dash this AM feeding etc. phone rings at 6:45...my friend Pat had a kitten brought into the store where she works...I dragged a brush through my hair, brushed my teeth, and went to get the baby...sex unknown right now.I settle the baby in, dash through the rest of morning stuff, and about to head out to work when I hear a squeak coming from my triple decker cage, that has 3 altered males, and an unknown sex cat trapped last Friday. Well lo-and behold...now I know the sex of cat #4! I had NO clue she was pregant
She was giving birth as I was about to run out the door. The kitten squeaking was ice cold! I ran upstairs with the baby, and plunked it in with a mama who birthed 4 (5, but one died) on Sun. then off to work. Good thing I drove home to check between jobs, as there were 2 more ice cold babies that had fallen to the bottom section (onto lambswool bedding I threw in this AM). Mama was nestled into the nook created by the ramps to the top deck nursing a 4th baby. I had to drag out the males in there with her, and relocate them! I gave the upstairs mom a 6th baby, and left the surprise mama with the other 2. Whirlwind day so far.
I guess it's a good thing I trapped her!
