Sometime early this morning, McKenzie gave birth to three kittens! Mom and babies are doing fine. Thankfully, she has gained weight, although I will be supplementing her babies with bottle feeding to take the strain off her. We have a white, black and orange family now.
She is a very protective mother, even charging me when I went looking for her this morning. She gave birth inside my canning closet. The only thing I could take a photo of was the top of the other cupboard! LOL
I will amp up her feeding times and her food now, giving her canned food, dry cat food, dry kitten food and KMR. Waiting for the stores to open and praying they aren’t out of kitten formula because I am.
My group knows that Donovan is gone and they are all acting strangely this morning. McGee, Don’s brother is going around the house softly crying. I know he is looking for his buddy. I know I miss him and like Fiona’s food bowls, I just can’t seem to remove the sheepskin pad behind the heater where Donovan slept most of the time these past few weeks.
Maybe Donovan and Fiona left you to make room for these new babies. God works in mysterious ways. Hopefully these new little ones will help ease the pain of losing the other two, especially so close together. I don’t know how you do it. You are the strongest person I know!
Congratulations for the newcomers and condolences for those who have left. One of our cats died last week and I know the rest of our covey wonder where she is. Nothing I can do except to give them more love and attention.
In a pinch I have ordered kitten supplement milk from WalMart online although I detest WalMart politically. However, to save lives I must look past my prejudice against the company. My vet doesn’t carry enough of the product, so I often have to look online to get it when I need it most.
Please post photos of the kitties when you can get them!
LOVE to you!
Loosing friends in such short times is very hard, i can imagine. But you have 3 new little purring hearts now to take care off mary-ann. McKenzie will see you are no harm in time.
Keep doing what you do!
Bittersweet times, praying for you as always and extra purrs for McGee.
