One kitten for Cassie

It’s tiny, jet black, just born and Cassie thinks her kitten is wonderful!   When I checked on her this morning she looked as though she’d changed her mind and kittening was the last thing she was thinking of – by lunch time there was the new kitten, already snuggling up and suckling.  Mother love is a wonderful thing!

Cassie did look a bit stunned at first though and I was surprised that she wasn’t having more than one – but after what she’s been through, one live and well baby is a blessing.   We don’t know how long she was in the box on the car park without food or water – what a miracle we found her before a predator did.

In  a natural life cats would get pregnanat while only kittens themselves and probably wouldn’t rear their first litter.   Possibly this is why she’s only had the one, natural selection and just enough for her to cope with at this stage. [donate]
