Dinky babies
Sunday
Lunchtime - Tim shouts for me to hurry up and I run upstairs.
There she is, a proud mum and she's done it so far all on her own, two babies, one marble and one spotted. Dinky is cleaning them like mad. I have a feel at her tummy, there's still some in there. I keep giving her back a rub and she starts pushing again, out another one comes, another marble, a lovely little girl. Dinky keeps pushing, she's not happy so I keep rubbing her tummy and back. Give her some reasurance and a bit of a scratch under her chin. She's pushing like mad and getting upset, so I pull her out of the kittening box and stretch her out in front of me on my cushion. That's it, one good push and a bit of a struggle and out pops the last one. We can see why she had trouble, all is not right with this little one, poor little spotted girl she's doesn't live, it's very sad when this happens. We help Dinky clean her other girls up and only let her eat two of the placenta's as these sometimes upset their tummies.
A very proud mum who shouts over to Dreamer to let her know what is happening. Dreamer comes over for a visit but we don't let her too close as it may upset Dinky. Dreamer has a good look at the kittens, then she goes over for the chicken treat we've put down for her.
Dinky doesn't have enough milk and so we take one of her kittens down for Bella to look after. Bella takes to the Brown Marbled girl and looks after her as if she is one of hers, lovely, saves us a job. Dinky is so proud of the two she has left she never noticed. We make up some Cimicat and just give them a little after a couple of hours, just to help out a little. Time to weigh them all.
