The kittens have arrived

Tippy started having contractions around 7:30 this morning and by 10:30am they had all arrived. Tippy wanted moral support and wanted me to be next to her box or petting her. She would follow me around until I went and sat by her. It was a fun experience. The kids all got to see 2 of them be born then they had to go to school to tell all of their friends. The third one started coming and Chad noticed it wasn't quite right, it was coming out back legs first. After a few minutes of making no progress Chad told me I might need to help it, so for the next few contractions I helped pull out the breech one. This ended up being the biggest one. The kids are in heaven looking at them and can't wait for us to say they can hold them. Talli thinks they look like little mice. By the way if you want a great pet let me know I can deliver one for ya in about 7 weeks. Tippy with all 4 of her kittens

number 2 we are calling this one "sqeakers", it came out meowing and meows all the time

so cute and tiny! I remember when I was a kid and our cat had kittens. It is fun to care for them when they are tiny, but it was good to have a lighter load when we got rid of all but one kitten.

Check out our blog for the GOOD NEWS!
