I received an email message from my VOKRA* co-ordinator at 8:17pm and within the hour was in my car heading to pick-up my second batch of kittens!
I was awarded the pleasure of fostering 6 kittens and their mommy. The kittens are only 8 days old today. That means I'll probably have to wait another 2 weeks before I can smother them with kisses and cuddles. This also means that it will be exactly 2 weeks when the onslaught of my family and friends will be coming to visit.
As for now, I am going to let mommy do her thing and I'll try to make my introduction to her and her babies slowly and gradually so as to not frighten them.
Mommy & her 6 kittens |
She doesn't look too impressed with me here, but she didn't seem frightened at all. Just wondering why I was making such a fuss over her and her babies.
A closer look at the kittens showed that there were:
- 2 tabbies (look at the tiger-like markings of the cutie in the middle of the frame)
- 2 potential Siamese (or they could just be white kittens, but they have Siamese markings on the tips of their ears)
- 2 black kittens. As these two were buried underneath a pile of kittens and mommy, I couldn't tell if they were tuxedo cats or not.
