Labrys Cats

We expect Snowball to pop just about any day now. Her belly has “dropped” which is when the kittens move into the birth canal, apparently. Unlike human births, we have no idea how many are in there or what sex they’ll be. Due date is pretty flexible too since we don’t really know when she conceived. So it’s waiting time.

This morning, we woke to a horrifying noise. After I checked on Snowball, I checked the other cats and discovered Xena (one of last year’s kittens) was calling her head off. It’s her first call, even though one of her sisters already had 5 kittens for Martin at Sliabh Cats. Goes to show, they’re all individuals!
