It's time for the Professionals.
Haven't had kittens since 1998, we just keep picking up waifs and strays, so wanting two at the same time, meant waiting for our clowder's numbers to drop to one, especially since I think more than three cats is the tipping point into insanity. So we've had a standing order in with Anna at the rescue for two ginger tom's, since Xmas.
Well, since then the waiting list for kittens has grown to 40+, then the last month dropped to zero as kits started popping out in all directions. But still no ginga's. But we've had our fingers crossed for a small ginger and white girl that came in a while back, was 'slightly' fat, and had a really bad attitude to any cat that came even close to her pen, suggesting maternal instincts perhaps? Fat, turned to pregnant (I'm not sure that that's how it works scientifically!) and yesterday morning she popped, and the foster'er confirmed three kits, two of which were ginger Toms.
So say hello to Bodie and Doyle (and their tortie sister Renee), who hopefully will be boosting the redhead numbers here to four (if Vesper is still in training) in eight weeks time.
And, another Queen that Anna herself was fostering also popped, producing two tortie's/calico's and a male ginger and white ....... so a bit like buses, and a possible candidate for 'Cowley', but I think two will do ..... for now.
