10 days to go and counting..........

Yesterday, I made more changes to my bedroom, in preparation for the new arrivals, in about 10 days time. I have a little nervous feeling in my tummy at the moment, it is exciting, and scary at the same time.

I feel so strongly, that I must do everything in my power, to ensure Lily has a safe delivery, and the kittens make it into the world, safely, and healthy.

I am trying really hard, to make my room, a place, where Lil feels happy, and secure, and where she can have everything that she can possibly need.

Yesterday, I brought the kitten box into my room. We used this last year, downstairs, but it really was too big. It has been downsized considerably, so it will now fit neatly in my room, and when we are onto litter training, it also fits into the cosy part of the bathroom, by the radiator.

Lil has a choice of 2 places then, in my room, so I will watch her closely over the next few days, and see if she shows a preference. I suspect she will have the babies, for the first 10 days, in a cardboard box, under my dressing table, with the towels hanging down, to make it cosy, and then I will move them into the kitten box, making the transition for them into the bathroom, hopefully easy.

I am using the bathroom for the litter training, as it is the only place really in this house, without carpet, and it really helps then learn. I have found far too many little 'accidents' when I have tried training them in carpeted areas, as the carpet is nice and soft!!!!!!!!!!!

Lil is eating well at the moment, and she is being loving and special as always.

I visited a cat show today, and stocked up on some more essentials for the babies. There is so much to buy in preparation.

I have posted a photo of the kitten box, taken last night, as the 4 Siams ( not Lil) were exploring it, and another one, of the same 4, on my bed this morning, the long stretched out one is Gollum !!!!
