Kitty Moving Day

 

Welllllll, it’s not what we’d planned but bossy little Dali decided that she wanted the babies out of the laundry room and into the family room…under my sewing machine. Good grief.

I’m certainly not a bit convinced that it’s a good idea–but Miss Hazel certainly didn’t mind.

While she was holding this little one, Dali jumped up on her lap and grabbed the kitty by the scruff of her neck and took her back over to the blanket. Nothing aggressive about this little mom cat! Haha.

This baby fascinates me. We’ve never had a totally black kitty before!

Oh, Dali, Dali. I’ll give this a couple of days and THEN we’re going to make other arrangements that don’t include new kitties on my carpet.  We’ll just see how you like that.

Bossy mom cat.

Sheesh.

 

 

Dali’s Adventure

So, I’m just sitting at my desk, minding my own business when I hear a tiny squeek. Ohhhh….man. I know what that means. Dali is not in the pretty little basket that I fixed for her to have her babies in, back in the laundry room.

Nooooo….she’s laying in the kitty couch…in the family room. On closer inspection,  I see that she already has a teeny little baby snuggled in with her! What the heck?!!!

Nothing shy about this girl! Instead of hiding away somewhere she is in the middle of the room with both Hobbes AND Lyla asleep just a few feet away

There is absolutely NO CHANCE that she and a few babies would ever fit in that silly thing.

So bizarre.

In a panic, I got very, very brave and picked up the whole couch and put it all in the laundry room basket where I wanted her to be, in the first place. Scooting her off the couch and into the basket–while she is still in the birthing mode was quite the feat–let me tell you! But she was awesome and we did it.

She very quickly had two more babies–three total. We have a brown stripe, a black stripe and a solid black.

SOOOOO cute!!!

She seems comfortable and content.

Now if she’ll only stay put.

Fingers crossed.

Look Quick!!

The kitties are all in the same place at the same time!

Honestly, between Dali chasing Lyla or Hobbes wrestling Dali or Lyla hiding from everyone and  EVERY thing, getting a picture like this is pretty rare.

It’s like that once in a decade photo of a lightening strike.

I should call Time magazine.

Seriously.
