Second Lot!

by Megan Delaney
(Trowbridge)

My cat Molly is about a year and a few months now. She had her first load of kittens when she was nine months and was a brilliant mum. We found her and her kittens in a hole after Molly was neglected by her owners, and brought her home.

She is now very loving and enjoys her new home. Most people think that cats under a year don't live through birth, but I can assure you, Molly is very healthy!

We have one male cat, Billy, who is rather large and boysterous, as well as Rosie, one of Molly's 3 daughters, about 6/7 months, whereas Billy is about 3 years. Obviously we guessed Molly & Billy might get up to something, and we were right.

She's not far from birth as she has a rather large tummy, expanding quickly and her nipples are getting very large. She is having very odd eating patterns and doesn't want to be outside.

She now has a lovely comfy box to have her kittens in (Billy & Molly are both Black & White so I'm assuming the second lot will also be!) and I'm hoping they will arrive soon! (although my parents aren't so keen!):)

If anyone has any advice etc. please comment!
