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 Reay" had some very interesting things to
say about Purrs for Phoebe and her new furbabies:

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? :-)

Maybe Phoebe can help nurse 1 or 2 if she only has a few ?? Just a
thought.

Oh, my, poor Phoebe!!! 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. (I envy you with
a household teeming with bouncy little furbabies - lots of work but
sooo much fun!!!)

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. Someone
out there is getting Christmas kittens, they just don't know it yet do they?
