OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OH..MY..GOD!

One little, two little, three little kittens!
four little, five little, six little kittens!
seven little, seven little, seven little kittens!
And one proud pop and mama!
CAN YOU HEAR ME SAYING THIS?
"OH MY GOD!
THEY ARE SOOOOO
FREAKING CUTE!!"
I was out until about 11:45 when I came home, Frannie was making odd little purring like sounds. I put her in her box and rubbed her oh so big belly, and she really liked that. Then when I tried to leave her she would follow me. Also.. figgy would not leave her side. I wasnt sure she was in labor, so I thought I'd just go to bed. well, she decided she was going to bed too, and climbed in under the covers right against my side. she wasnt having any contractions that I could see or feel, but kept making those short little purr sounds, then figgy got under the blankets and kept (probably more info then you want here.. just a warning.. ) anyways, he kept licking her butt.. then I realized that she was panting.. so I very quickly jumped out of bed and put her in her box again. I kept sending figgy away, but everytime I put him out, she would try to go with him.. finally when it was time for the first kitten to come out, she ran out of the box.. she was scared and in pain, and the sack was hanging. she ended up having it the floor before I could get her back in her box. After that, she stayed in the box, and figgy stayed with her.. the first kitty came about 2:00 am. This was soooo weird. I didnt think it was a good idea to have figgy there, but he wanted to be there and she obviously wanted him there. He cleaned each of those kittens and her as she had them! amazing! after she had the first 5 , it was a little after 4:00 am and I had to lie down. I got in bed and then I heard her crying while she had the 6th. I got up and checked it out. But Figgy seriously had everything under control! I thought she was probably done at that point, and went to sleep, about 4:30 or so. When I woke up at 7:30 and went to look, there were 7!!!! and , figgy was in there with them all. washing Frannie and all of the kittens! I am amazed.

I am also very tired, as not only was I up all night last night, but I also didnt sleep well the night before!
well, Im off.. I need to go to the store and find a much bigger box. this one just isnt going to work if Figgy's moving in and once those 7 little pumkin heads grow.. there will really be no room! I think I'm going to buy (yeah, I know spending freeze.. ) a movie and I'm crashing for the next two days.. Im going to hang out, clean, work on some projects and watch movies! oh yes.. and of course eat.. (but only with in my weight watchers points!)



Figgys a "family man!"
hahaha!
have a great sunday!

Oh how lovely. I just love cats, but I have never heard of a Daddy cat being so wonderful.
Congratulations to one and all.
The pictures are adorable.

Hope said...

Oh how excited that you are a new Grammy to all these wee ones! Figgy is definitely a sweetheart for taking such good care of Frannie and the new babies.

I am back up and running since my old Gateway Notebook caught that nasty "Storm Worm Virus" last week and it ate my entire hard drive. I lost everything. I now have a new Dell Studio 17 laptop, new Internet Security and a huge supply of data sticks to put my work on so this never happens again. If you don't have your work backed up, please get some data sticks and do so. I would hate to have this happen to anyone.

I am back in the saddle and catching up on Blog visits this morning!

Love,
LuLu~*xoxo

Congratulations! I have never heard of a male cat helping out with the birth of kittens. Amazing! I wish I could hold and kiss them all! Very precious!

I have seen people use wading pools as nesting boxes for their animals... but I imagine those are hard to come by this time of year~

Yay! This reminds me of our farm cat having kittens every year, only we'd have to go hunting for them, as she would try to hide them. Your Figgy is probably more fatherly because he is so attatched to Frannie. On the farm, the male cat was just a one night stand, and never hung around. Any way, they are so cute!! :)

Oh! I've been watching your blog to see when these babies would be born, so exciting! As many times as I've watched our different cats having kittens, we've never had a dad stay with them like that, so cool! Congratulations!

Viv...the music, the daddy, the momma and the babies...Oh what an adventure to behold. Thank you for all the details, birth is so amazing!
