Just over 2 weeks to go till kittens now






We have just over 2 weeks to go before Lily delivers her kittens into the world. This will be her 3rd litter, so I am confident that she will be a good mum to her babies, as she always is. She has such a big tummy at the moment, that she must be carrying a good size litter again. So far she has produced 2 lots of 6 babies, and I would not be surprised if she is doing so again.
She is starting to slow right down. She wanders down stairs, to ask for food, and she cuddles the other cats. But when they are having one of their wild bursts of play, she tends to sit on the top of one of the scratching posts, and watches. She is so very much the 'main lady' in our house, and the others respect her for that. If they are racing up and down the stairs and over the landing, she likes to sit at the top of the stairs to watch them run by. And she is lovely and cuddly and purry. You just feel that you want to snuggle up to her all day, and kiss her tummy!
I have taken some photos today. The first 2 are of Lily on her own, 2 others are of her sleeping close by the others, on my bed, and the last one, I could not resist, was of her daughter, Lady G, from her very first litter 2 years ago.
