Moishe has had her kittens!! When I peaked in to see them last night shortly after she gave birth, I could count four of the little beauties. She graciously gave me the few minutes to check them out, then I left her to her family business. The last time she had kittens, she killed them because she felt their safety was threatened, so this was not something I wanted to encourage. Mali stood guard in front of the hiding spot allowing her motherly instincts to come forward. She seemed unwilling to leave until I coaxed her to come with me at our bedtime. Moishe seems to like Mali which is a good thing because Mali is a house dog, not like the other dogs living here, so she will be around the babies more.
All are well this morning, mom even let us pet her and the babies, so this is good…..the cycle of life continues.
