Yesterday after a very long marathon effort Phoebe produced TEN new
furbabies - she had six in an hour and a half, then had a rest for over an
hour (I thought she had finished!!) and then produced the other four - we
are all recovering today.
Phoebe is at a disadvantage as far as teats are concerned as she was born
with only seven - at the moment things seem fine and I don't want to
interfere if I don't have to - but am ready if any of them needs a helping
hand - I have one of my vet friends calling in tomorrow so I will get him to
give them the once over.
I didn't want her to have ten but now that they are here I don't want to
lose any - so I am asking for a few purrs for their survival and well being.
Thank you.
Lois

"Lois Reay" <loisreay@xtra.co.nz> had some very interesting things to
say about Purrs for Phoebe and her new furbabies:

That's an unusually large litter, isn't it?
Let's see, is Phoebe the one who showed great ingenuity and
determination when she got pregnant? :-)

Maybe Phoebe can help nurse 1 or 2 if she only has a few ?? Just a
thought.

Oh, my, poor Phoebe!!! She must feel overwhelmed! Maybe even
thinking it's time to retire. Most certainly, we send many purrs for
the little ones, hoping they're all hale and hearty. (I envy you with
a household teeming with bouncy little furbabies - lots of work but
sooo much fun!!!)

Wow, Phoebe and you sure have your work cut out don't you? She is an experienced mom
isn't she? I hope all the kits are well and healthy. And you do have the advantage
of knowing how to keep their mom well and healthy while she cares for them. Someone
out there is getting Christmas kittens, they just don't know it yet do they?

What a big litter! That will certainly drain the poor little mother.
I am glad you will be able to assist when needed. Multiple purrs for
their wellbeing. MLB

Certainly! Purrs are heading out to NZ for Phoebe and her babies - I
hope everyone is doing marvelously well.

My Goodness what a huge litter. More power to Phoebe and you all. I'd
be a nervous wreck. Purrs and keep the good juice coming thoughts for
Phoebe and purrs and good health thoughts for them all.

Lois, I missed your post about the birth of the kitties and I knew they
were due this week too. But I have the big advantage over everyone
else in the group, I get to see this huge family, hehe. I am sure they
will all survive, perhaps they can feed in relays.
