Boy, Midnight has been such a pain! She never shuts up! She doesn’t like to be alone so whenever Mom or Dad leaves the kitten rooms she starts to cry. She just thinks everyone has nothing else to do but sit around and rub her big, fat Buddha belly! I don’t like it when Mom and Dad spend time in the kitten room with Midnight and leave me locked outside. I have been watching how they unhook the latch to open the door. I have been trying to do it myself but I haven’t quite figured it out yet. When I do, they won’t be able to keep me out!
Midnight has only been here for a week so we don’t know her very well yet. She has been talking and demanding attention the entire time so we thought that was her natural personality. At around 4:00pm last Friday we discovered there was another reason she was being so vocal. She was in labor! Mom and Dad were very excited (this is our first birth). Mom was posting updates on Facebook and Dad was on the floor on his stomach trying to get pictures of the event. Midnight, the black cat, decided to give birth on a navy blue blanket under the bookcase. Yup! A nice small, dark space where they could barely see her. Under the circumstances Midnight was very tolerant, but she did draw the line when Dad said wanted to get the flashlight. This is all second hand info by the way because, once again, I was locked out of the room.
Midnight squeezed those babies out pretty quick! There was one about every 20 minutes. There is 1 black and white, 1 black, 1 gray, and 1 calico. At one point Mom and Dad thought there were 2 black ones, then realized they had counted the same kitten twice or they accidentally mistook Midnight’s foot for a kitten. Mom says she thinks there are 2 boys and 2 girls but she will check again when they are a bit older. I don’t understand what all the excitement is about. Who cares what color they are or whether they are boys or girls. They are about the size of Marshmallow Peeps and just about as active. That’s all they do right now is sleep and eat. Borrrring!
