Our cat had kittens....

...on the 5th of the month and I just wanted to share the cuteness here. This last pic is of the runt of the litter. I call her Runtie. She is my favorite as she needs extra TLC. She still pulls herself along with her front legs and drags the hind ones and I am hoping and praying that she will be ok. She has a special place in my heart and though we don't need another addition to this family I'm working on Bob to let me keep her. We shall see what happens. And Lord knows I will regret it down the road. I almost always do. The cuteness of a baby animal soon fades when they tear stuff up or mess in places they shouldn't. No need to say I told you so I'm saying in advance. LOL!

I have yet to figure out the rest of the brood. JC, just cat or mamma cat as she is now called has been the best first time mamma cat I ever saw. She had the kittens without so much as a meow. She came out to the kitchen for some food before Jackie realized that there was no longer a big belly. We frantically searched the house for the little ones as she chose not to deliver the babies in the cardboard box that had been made especially for her. Bob duct taped a box and cut an opening and we placed a nice comfy blanket inside for mom and the new newborns. Mamma would have none of that. We finally found the 5 babies in Jackie's closet. In this little burrow she had made. It took some doing to get to them and I checked them all out and placed them in the box we had provided for her and she would have nothing of that. She began to pick them up one by one and marched back to the closet.

I decided to try placing the sweater she had given birth on into the box and that made her content to leave the babies in the box.
