Purrs for Phoebe and her new furbabies
Yesterday after a very long marathon effort Phoebe produced TEN new
furbabies - she had six in an hour and a half, then had a rest for over an hour (I thought she had finished!!) and then produced the other four - we are all recovering today. Phoebe is at a disadvantage as far as teats are concerned as she was born with only seven - at the moment things seem fine and I don't want to interfere if I don't have to - but am ready if any of them needs a helping hand - I have one of my vet friends calling in tomorrow so I will get him to give them the once over. I didn't want her to have ten but now that they are here I don't want to lose any - so I am asking for a few purrs for their survival and well being. Thank you. Lois |

"Lois Reay" had some very interesting things to
say about Purrs for Phoebe and her new furbabies: Yesterday after a very long marathon effort Phoebe produced TEN new furbabies - she had six in an hour and a half, then had a rest for over an hour (I thought she had finished!!) and then produced the other four - we are all recovering today.

I didn't want her to have ten but now that they are here I don't want to lose any - so I am asking for a few purrs for their survival and well being. That's an unusually large litter, isn't it? Let's see, is Phoebe the one who showed great ingenuity and determination when she got pregnant? :-) -- Seanette Blaylock "You attribute perfect rationality to the whole of humanity, which has to be one of the most misguided assumptions ever." - Alan Krueger in NANAE [make obvious correction to address to send e-mail] |

Maybe Phoebe can help nurse 1 or 2 if she only has a few ?? Just a thought. http://www.ameritech.net/users/lestark/my-babies.htm |

She must feel overwhelmed! Maybe even thinking it's time to retire. Most certainly, we send many purrs for the little ones, hoping they're all hale and hearty.

Wow, Phoebe and you sure have your work cut out don't you? She is an experienced mom
isn't she? I hope all the kits are well and healthy. And you do have the advantage of knowing how to keep their mom well and healthy while she cares for them.
