Overnight Delivery

You couldn't make it up....

After arranging Asia's room, building a nice door (complete with magnetic key lockable cat flap), varnishing Peggys airfreight box and mounting an electric heater on the wall, Asia has had her kittens. In between Me and Mrs VL, in the middle of the night, in the middle of our bed.

Asia has learnt to operate the switch on the cat flap, and had obviously decided that she needed her hand held through this procedure. It was great to be present at the births of the 3 brown spotted kittens, probably girls but the resident vet is not going to commit to that yet.

What wasn't so great was the timing. Asia woke us at about 2 a.m as she clattered open the cat flap and joined us in bed. We organised the bed with an old shower curtain and some towels before the first delivery at around 3:25 (106gms), the second (again 106gms) came at around 04:50 and the third (90gms) shortly after.

So all in all, mother and kittens are doing well.
