It's me again - what happened to Poppet by: Epilogue
Poppet's four kittens are now 5 weeks old and very much alive! They are bouncy, bubbly and lots and lots of FUN! We are so lucky that they all pulled through, despite the first few days being so touch-and-go.
The kittens are affectionatley named Mouse (because she's half the size of the others!) Mole (because he looks like one) Chunky Monkey (she's fat and cheeky!) and Boots (black with white boots on!).
Poppet never really settled into the whole mothering thing, although she filled up with milk and fed them well, she never washed them, hence frequent visits to the kitchen sink!!!
Two of the kittens now have homes, as does Poppet, who has a very loving family to return to soon.
We are so lucky that this turned out to be a happy ending, despite the two dead kittens, we still got a majority alive!! Thankyou so mcuh for taking the time to read this, I hope your cats and kittens are all well!
