We have kittens!

Yesterday afternoon, Minnie had her kittens. All 6 of them! 4 white, 1 black, and 1 that looks like its mother. Sadly, tonight, the runt died. Here are some pictures of the cute little ones.Here is momma and 2 babies.Pardon the blood, Hannah put this diaper box with hay in it in our garage, hoping Minnie would use it. We were sure surprised to come home and find 2 kittens in the box and Minnie walking around in the garage greeting us! What a cat. I picked her up and put her with the 2, and several hours later she had 6. I watched the tail end of 2 being born. So neat. She is doing better than I thought since she isn't much more than a kitten herself. She is 10 mos. Let me know if anyone would like a kitten!

cute kittens. We had one cat a few years ago that would only have her kittens in the house -- I gave up trying to keep her out. that is the only time she wanted in and was ready to go back out when the kitties were big enough! Sorry about the frost! We were really surprised we didn't get any. Although areas north of us did get frost. Looks like a fun day at the farm. My city relatives laugh when we talk about going to 'on the farm breakfast' -- for June dairy month. They say we have breakfast on the farm everyday!
