Revolving Door...

[moosmom]

They say that when one door closes, another door opens. Just make sure you know what's on the other side!

My friend Kathy called me this afternoon when I got outta work. It seems that there's been this beautiful VERY pregnant Russian Blue/Korat mix living under her sister's porch for the past year. When Kathy told her sister that the cat was pregnant, she immediately wanted to have it put down!!!

Well, as of 6 p.m. today, I have a maternity ward in my spare room. Because there's no room at Kathy's Inn, I volunteered. She is the sweetest, most loving cat I have ever seen. She's giving me head bumpies and LOVES to have her fat belly rubbed. She looks like she's about a year, MAYBE a year and a half old. She's been living out on the street since she was a kitten, and I have a feeling she's had more than one litter. And, she's polydactyl on all four paws!!

Here SHE is!!






All I need now is a name. Polly is out because it sounds like Molly.

Any suggestions?

Carole,

I think I'm going to name her Gracie. I love that name. When Kathy called me, I didn't hesitate for a second. When I told my daughter, she said, "Oh Mom, no you didn't!!" I simply told her THAT is who I am and what I'm all about. I'm not changing for anybody. I believe I was put on this earth for a reason. And if that's helping cats, then so be it. Know what she said, "Yeah Mom, I know and that's why I love you so much!!!"



Kittens!! We're gonna have kittens!!!

[kimlovescats]

Oh WOW, she is beautiful, and looks like she could POP at any moment! Glad you got her inside in time! Yippeee, more kittens coming to PT!

BLESS YOU and that KIND HEART of yours. Gracie is a beautiful and perfect name for her.

Give her some kisses from me.

Love,

She has a absolutely stunning face! My mouth fell open the minute I saw her, her face is awesome! Then I read about her paws... PHEW Gracie, that was close! What a special girl you ARE!!! I am so glad someone didn't let her get put down. She is a VERY special girl!! You are lucky you got your hands on her!!!!

[carole]

Donna Gracie is the purrfect name for such a pretty girl, I love your choice, isn't that sweet your daughter saying that, yes we all have a purpose here whether we know what it is or not, I am glad that you do because so many cats have been saved by your generosity and caring. Keep at it Donna, bless you.

Donna, she's gorgeous and I'm so glad that you could take her in. I think that the name Gracie suits her too.

[shais_mom]

wow!!!
good job Donna!
she is beautiful!

[jenluckenbach]

She's beautiful! Can't wait for those babies.

[moosmom]

I got NO sleep last night. Kept having dreams about her having her babies and hiding them!!! I actually took my pillow and blanket and laid on the floor in the room with her. Didn't last long, though. MooShoo kept scratching at the door. I'm kinda new at this mother thing so I am a little nervous. But, cats have been having babies for millions of years. All I can do is be there for her and let nature take it's course. Can't wait to see what the babies look like!!

[ramanth]

Morning Donna!

She is stunning....and big! phew! I'm sure she'll be happy to be rid of that load! And then you'll have kittens!

[smokey the elder]

Is she near your bedroom? The day before Easter last year I heard the tiniest "mew!" from a sound sleep, and Topaz was having her kittens.

Gracie is beautiful! I think she'll be very adoptable once her kittens are weaned and she's spayed.

Little Miss Gracie has an appointment with the white coats on Saturday. Just to make sure she and her babies are okay. She'll be tested for the usual feline diseases. If she tests negative, so will her babies.

She's actually in the back bedroom. I'll keep an eye on her. Once she stops eating and gets restless, that's a sign that the birth is soon. I'll probably sleep in the same room after that.

PurrsAbound has offered to post her picture on their website in case anyone is interested in adopting her or one of her babies. I will not let them go before they are 8-10 weeks old.
