Phoebe's babies - one & a half weeks on

Phoebe's babies are now one and a half weeks old - all ten are still hanging
in there - the very smallest one I am supplementary feeding (although I have
seen her feeding off her Mum) this time last week she weighed 60g (don't ask
me what that is in oz's) today she is 82g - so it is progress of sorts - the
heaviest baby is over 200g. Phoebe is such a good Mum.

Yesterday I had a visit from Bev and two of her cat mad friends - they
enjoyed seeing all the babies and the big cats - they were particularly
interested in Freya (B & C Mum) who was due to have her babies today - Freya
made sure she gave them all a *kiss*

We then headed off up the road to a nice little country cafe for lunch
*shouted* by Bev (thanks Bev) the day was absolutely beautiful - a proper
spring day - we spent a very relaxed hour or so, chatting mainly about
cats.

Bev dropped me back off at home picked up her kitty litter - apart from
seeing the kitties that was the main reason for her visit.

After checking on Freya and deciding that nothing was doing I went off to my
line dancing class - arrived back home to find that in my absence she had
delivered - all by herself eight babies!!!!

In a few weeks I wont know if I am coming or going!!

Purrs for the Mum's and me to cope!!

Glad to hear that Pheobe's babies are all hanging in there and doing
well, especially glad that the littlest one seems to be coming along.

B&C now have 8 more borthers and sisters? Uh oh, that's sounds like
trouble ;-)

Good luck for the little ones.....and the mums....and you....their mewmie

It was good to hear that Phoebes kitties were all doing well

Freya is the one that wants to do everything on her own isn't she? Got to love an
independent cat. May all be well and peaceful for all God's creatures in your home.

Yes, Burmese are known for their large litters but Ten and eight are a bit
over the top!!
Phoebe has had eight before - her usual is six or seven.
I didn't expect eight from Freya - I thought six

Phoebe is such a good Mum.
2.11644 oz, 2.89246 oz., and 7.05479 oz., respectively [or so says the
conversion program in my Palm :-)].
Can you be a little more precise? ;-)

I'm sure I can find software somewhere that'll do that. My apologies
for the sloppiness. :-)
