i'm a grandma.
my cat alphonse got my cat edo preggers last spring.
the only surviving kitten of that litter is zelda.
she had a litter on april 19th, 2 days after her first birthday.
stupid me decided to let her nurse as long as she wanted before spaying her.
she just had a second litter this past week.
there will be a short nursing period this time.
i guess breastfeeding is poor birth control for cats as it is for people.
now i have 10 kittens to fix as well as mommy cat.
alphonse was fixed a while back. boy was i surprised when edo got pregnant!
they must have just done the nasty right before he went to the vet's.
zelda looks just like him and the only boy from her first litter looks like him too.
the new kittens still look like rats.
when people find out i'm a witch they ask if i have a black cat.
yup.
11 of them.
none on purpose.
just turned out that the older ones were the first of my rescues.
i also have a tabby, a grey and 3 babies of yet to be determined color.
my familiar was melvin.
he was a mackerel tabby.
he passed away 4 years ago last month and i cannot open my heart to any animal or person since.
i miss him so much that i still could scream my grief to the world.
all these new cats are nice.
i know i have a great home for them and will give them a happy life.
i'll even love them, but as pets.
i loved melvin as an equal.
