DDay

What a clever cat she is. She's done it all by herself, and needed no help whatsoever.
At lunchtime, she was so friendly, rollin on my lap and wanting a lot of fuss. But she wasn't eating that much, and was up and down, checking in the corners, going into her box.
I worked in the afternoon (I work from home), and checked on her later. She had produced two kittens, so I sat quietly in the room, just there in case she needed anyting. She had ignored my wonderful box, that took me two hours to make, and had given birth in the hooded litter tray.
She suddenly ran out of the pen, came up and miaowed loudly at me with her paw on my leg, then ran back in. So I went to peep in and she rolled over to show me three kittens. An hour or two later and there were more. I couldn't see how many and didn't want to disturb her. Later I found there were six.
She was very good, no mess, no trouble, and settled down to feed them.
I had a couple of those tiny tins of rather posh cat food saved for her, and gave her those, which she loved. Then she settled down for the night.

Melody is Restless

She has been quite restless today. I had to go out this evening and was a little worried in case she had them whilst I was out. However she is still eating well, and they usually go off their food a bit before they have them.
When I came home, she was fine, and happy to see me. I've made her a kittening bed with newspaper and soft bedding, and a top over it so she can be safe in their. She keeps going in and scratching at the newspaper, so hopefully she will be happy in their.
She is in a pen and I let her out when I'm around, and she goes in at night, to keep her safe.
I don't think it will be long now.

Melody

Melody is a lovely and friendly cat. Considering she doesn't know me, she is very trusting. She has been sitting on my knee and purring loudly. She is eating well. We've put her a hooded tray in, as she wasn't too sure about an open one. She has used this fine. She is very pretty, with a tiny face and long white whiskers. We are going to enjoy having her here.
I've sprayed Feliway around the house, to help my cats cope with having a stranger moving in.

Melody Moves In

We took in a pregnant cat today. She had come in to be spayed, but we found she was pregnant, so she has come to me whilst she has her babies. She is a lovely little thing, quite small apart from her large belly.

She has settled into a pen in the sitting room. We didn't know her name, but as she sang sweetly all the way home, we have called her Melody.
