Well, as you know, we are still waiting for Mrs. Dream to deliver those four little ones! Today is probably the day, but only she knows for sure.
Anyway, I had to go outside to temporarily fix the fence because Daisy and Angel have taken up their mother's art of escaping. I asked Dream to go with me, and she came out of her whelping box and went with me outside.
When I opened the door, ALL of our paps jumped up from where they were laying- under the tree by our shed. Sweet Boy barked at me and the rest seemed to stare me down.. What is this? I wondered. Then I heard it.. Meeeew!
I looked in the middle of where they had been laying and a BABY KITTEN was there! We knew it didnt belong to the cat that usually roams around our house, she had no milk and wasnt big enough, besides, this kitten was IN our fence and probably barely old enough to eat on his/her own. This isnt a newly delivered kitten, its a dump off. I know it is terrible, but I was so proud of my crew for banding together to take care of the little one. Here is her photo:
She is currently residing in the pouch of my hoodie I am wearing around my waist so she (or he) can sleep. She is a beautiful black and white baby with brilliant blue eyes and medium coat. If you know anyone looking for a kitten, please call me!
Ps. I know at this point I cant write without saying something about Dream- Her temp dropped about two hours ago down to 100.0 from 100.7 in one hour. I'm trying to give her some space because she has been nervous and sick. I'll take her temp again in a couple of hours, but I dont want her to feel like a pin cushion. Besides, it has been going up and down and up and down all week. I wish she would make up her mind! She is currently asleep in her whelping box, so when we have puppies, I will post them on here AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE- photos and all. For those of you who are promised a phone call as they are born, please be patient, there are a lot of you!
Love~
