Sophie had her Kittens!!

When we walked through the door today after work Sophie was at our feet meowing LOUDLY. Then she laid down and looked to be have some contractions! I moved her leg and there was discharge. Woohoo, time for kittens. She was following me so I ran upstairs and over to the spot we had set up for her. She crawled right in and laid down and started having more contractions. After a little while she had her first kitten.

She did great. She did everything to the letter and it took her two hours. All the kittens are healthy and nursing now. She had four little black one’s and then surprised us with a fifth one, the fifth one is grey.

And now, on with the pics:

Sophie’s resting now but we can’t leave her. I’m sitting in here on the laptop typing. Only one of us can leave at a time. She gets bothered if even one of us leaves, so at least one of us is staying in here at all times, for now. she’s really clingy right now. I did go out and pick up a pizza. Discovered I got paid sometime between the time I left work and 6pm or so. phew!

And that’s that, I’m going to go send my mom the news. 🙂
