Kittens happen…
As I should have known; yesterday didn’t go at all as planned. No fence and no chicken coop blueprints were made. And no new seeds were planted. Because….Lima had her kittens!!!
When life hands you kittens…
5 adorable mewing little bundles of adorableness. My wife had been working out in our “cave” all day to keep Lima company. (The cave is what we call the typical “man cave.” It’s a pretty sweet setup with a wood-burning stove, kegerator, kitchen and living room. It’s a work in progress, as most things are around here but it’s coming along) Lima was moving from my wife’s lap to the cold floor to her lap to the floor, clearly antsy and uncomfortable. Then Lima curled up on the towel and bubble wrap that had been piled up to give her a comfy and waterproof (for the protection of the couch) area to nest. Lima doesn’t make a peep for a little bit, then all of a sudden there’s a tiny meow.
Ninja kittens!?
And there s/he is! Kitten #1! Less than 2 hours later, we have 5 adorable new lives on the farm! 2 of them have her tabby coloring. But the other 3 appear to be black. Which was a surprise since Lima had tried to bring a large, orange friend into our house a month or so ago. But he was clearly late to that party!
Rescue cats are awesome…
I gotta say, Lima is a tough girl. Never complains. Toughs everything out. She’s appreciative. She was purring while giving birth! It made our hearts melt a little. I was able to capture a pic of the first kitten but things got a bit intense and not picture-worthy. If you know what I mean. So for the next few days we’re giving Lima space to be a mom. But by this weekend! It’s on! I’ll have pics for you.
