KITTENS!

[conuly]

I went down to check on the cat. Didn't see her. Went down again, still didn't see her, so I shook a box of cat food. No reply.

Shook it again. No reply.

Shook it again and walked around. Finally I heard some very very LOUD purring, but I just couldn't see her! Took me a while to find her under some furniture I would've sworn she couldn't get under (because it's totally blocked up in the front, but apparently not in the back).

There's definitely 3 kittens, two orange and one calico. There may be a third orange kitten, bringing the total to four. I couldn't tell and for sure I wasn't poking around when this kitty isn't used to being manhandled by me. Not with her infant kittens. I couldn't get any sort of picture in the location she's in, sorry, not without moving kittens around. When they get a bit bigger.

Edit: Add another calico to the count, that makes 5 all told.

Please name them after famous hurricanes. It's too purrfect. ;D

Glad you dudes are all right. I may or may not have been poking around the Con Edison website to see if you all had power in the middle of the night saturday...

Well, St. Pauls behind us lost power, but we only lost cable :)

As for famous hurricanes, I guess that'll have to wait until I sex them. I know the calicos are girls (calicos just about always are due to cat genetics) but the tabbies, I don't know.

The runt should be named Irene. ;)

No, no, Irene's the mommy!

The mama, depending on who you ask, is either See-ay-tee, Candy, or "The Cat".

Also due to cat genetics, orange tabbies are almost always boys. :) You get the occasional girls, but those are more the orange and whites as opposed to the actual orange tabbies. :)
