Kittens born! 23rd Aug

Happy birthday kittens! 6 born to Genie on 23rd Aug. I'm in Boston and had to ring the husband throughout the day for updates. Seems to be 5 girls and a boy, one of them very small though, Husband is having to feed her powdered milk as she's not as strong as the others and keeps getting booted out of the milk bar. Bless. Really praying she does ok. Can't wait to get home Thursday morning to see them.

Once I've worked out where all the photos are that were on the computer I'll upload them... they must have been lost in the reconfigure of the 'puter. ~sigh. Shall plug the camera in and upload them all again.

Cat still pregnant.

Pictures coming soon!

On Tenterhooks...

Am on tenterhooks waiting for Genie - my lovely snow marble Bengal - to give birth, mainly because am off to Boston tomorrow for a conference and would hate to miss The Main Event! She is due today... but showing no signs of having the kittens.

This is her third time round so we're both old hat at it, it's just when she goes into labour she does like me to be around. She sticks to me like glue, clearly needing reassurance. Turns out I am the 'cat's mother'!!

Am going to walk the dog, need to keep calm and carry on... and pack and iron (other way round?) for Boston trip.

Naturally she'll go into labour tomorrow morning as I'm heading out the door to Heathrow...
