I know that it is still 2 weeks away, but there is no harm, and only good, to come out of being prepared, and doubly prepared, for the entrance into the world of little babies!
Lil's first litter, she had, in a cosy space I set up under my dressing table. For her 2nd, last year, we built a large box, and had it set up in the spare room downstairs, which has our computer and television, and is where the boys spend a lot of their time! I wasn't totally happy with the set up last year. So I have gone back to using my bedroom.
I now have my small tv, set up with digi box. And necesary tool, when you are sitting with kittens for long periods of time. And also, I have my wireless connection working, which means I can do everything from my lap top, in my room. So I need not be parted from the kittens for any great length of time. A lack of computer up here, was one of the reasons last year, that I had to opt for the downstairs room. I am much happier with the arrangements this time around.
Yesterday, I moved my bed closer to the door, this gave me much more space in front of the dressing table. I have also started to make the area, under the dressing table, cosier, and more closed in. When Lily gets closer, she will be looking for somewhere dark and quiet, to have her babies. There is a heated pad underneath some vet bedding, and the radiator is behind, so it is a very warm and cosy spot.
Lil is not showing much interest in it at the moment, preferring my bed, but that will all change, as she will recognise it as the place to go. ( alongside her driving me nuts, as she tries to fight her way into all the cupboards)
I took 2 photos today, The first one, you can See G ( G is short for Galadriel) and her daughter, Carrie, under the dressing table, in the cosy spot. Lily was snuggled up on my bed with Fluffy, her daughter from last year.
