Both the cats had their kittens last night 
11 babies. Are you suuuure you don't want a kitten??? The birth was kind of sad. One of the mamas didn't know hot to take care of herself or the babies- the instinct just didn't kick in so I had to help 
Sorry, this story is neither glamorous OR sexy. Anyway, she also apparently doesn't want to care for the babies. My husband said she's the cracked out mom. So we put the babies in with the other mama's babies and so far so good. I think her litter was all preemies, though and I'm not sure how long they'll survive. The other litter is much bigger and stronger. The teenies look like little drowned mice. Why oh why am I such a dumping ground for everyone else's animal issues?? (they were preggo when we got them and they were going to the pound if we didn't take them). Now I think bad mama kitty is reallly bad kitty mama. I can't find her and I think she snuck out the doggy door. Aaagh.
Why is it that when I visit SG I keep getting a stupid pop up for Christian dating services? My computer is trying to get all moralistic on me. Stupid puter.

As for the kitties... even nature has it's failings and we are all blessed that kind souls like you will help out when others cannot/will not.
When I was 15 my mother sold all of our belongings and we moved to Taiwan for a few years. Prior to that I had been a very shy (PAINFULLY SHY) girl who couldn't even walk to the counter alone to ask for ketchup at McDonald's.
The whole experience thrust me out into the world and let me see that the narrow, painful blights that I experienced growing up were isolated and the world was much bigger than that. So I learned Mandarin, traveled all over SE Asia, met some incredible souls, and found myself.
I also became a wild teenager and had to be sent home. It was unfortunate for my mother that at 13 when we first got there I was 5'9" and already had a C cup. Finding my "beauty" at that age was also a bit tramatic because I had such the ugly duckling syndrome and took it WAY too far.
Oh boy. Now I have a daughter and the thought of what kind of karma the universe has in store scares the shit out of me!
I wish you guys were closer. I'd love to have dinner and share a bottle of wine or two and get to know you!!!!
Have a lovely night dear!
