Saturday - just another day in the cattery

First job for me whilst Tim checks and feeds outside is to check and feed all kittens and mums in the house. Bicky's kittens going today - will be sad to see them go, although it will allow more room for kittens on the bed. Pedigrees to do, microchips to place - but no time - Tim will need to do that for the hand over for Bicky's kits. Our little girl who was neutered yesterday has taken her stitches out - a gaping hole in her side. I'll take this opportunity to have some kittens vaccinated that should have gone earlier in the week. Ring the vet, put her straight into the Jeep and away we go. An hour seems a long time when you are worried, although our little 12 week old Bengal girl couldn't care less. Alistair takes us straight in and takes a look inside to make sure there isn't any dirt or infection in there. He decides everything is OK and we decide to staple her wound this time - a brave little girl just looks up into my eyes as Alistair staples her wound. She then has a real good cuddle and everything is fine again. Kittens vaccinated, and all is well.
Once home Purrsona is back into her bed with a nice warm heat pad to curl up on. A raw chicken wing, and some cat tuna makes her feel much better, and with a full belly she goes to sleep.
Panic over, and back to work - paperwork to do, and F1 generation kittens to massage.
Another day of feeding, watering, and cleaning for Tim.
Then the usual suppertime check and feed, not forgetting to have a good feel of Tranquility - think she may have given us the 5 day warning - her kittens are getting ready to enter the world.
Check on Ku - no contractions but looking good - surely she can't be much longer.
Dotty is looking good with her gorgeous boy and girl, although she seems to have something else inside - maybe she has retained a placenta, or maybe we could be very lucky and have another kitten in there? i will check her again tomorrow morning as she seems happy enough and she doesn't have any discharge or discomfort.
The time has come to put Ruby and Tia for adoption - I booked them in for neutering whilst i was at the vets - it will be a sad day when they go to their new homes. Ruby and Tia gave us some outstanding F1 generation Bengal kittens with tiny ears, whited tummies, and Occelli on the backs of their ears from Bertie ALC, although we have their F2 generation bengal grandchildren to look forward to from Maddie and Rubicon - F2 generation snow bengals - wow - I can't wait!
