As I write this, Ahmose is pausing between kittens. She has two healthy kittens. Unfortunately, the third (the firstborn) was stillborn after a protracted labour. The veterinary surgeon said that this was due to its size and this being Ahmose’s first pregnancy. Still can’t help wondering if we could have done something, though. I probably always will.
Looks like it could be a long night.
Pictures to follow…
Edited at 22:00 Looks like that’s the lot. A litter of three with two survivors. We were planning to keep one anyway. So what’s another one?
Congratulations, and comiserations … I’m really glad that Ahmose has come through her first labour safely with two live births, but I’m also sorry to hear about the third little one.
