Tuesdays child is...........

By 4.30am i am in a lot of discomfort and no matter which way i lay i cannot seem to change that. I have been feeling the urge to push for some time now and although i am scared i know that it must be done. By my side is my female human she has descided to join me in this emotional time and to be honest i'm pleased i have someone here with me even if we do not understand one another.
At 5am my first beautiful child is delivered into the world and to be honest it was not as awful as i first imagined, HE was the first of five that came quickly until tragedy struck................. After my first three angels had been delivered trouble (all male) i knew there was more to come and try as i may i could not shake the feeling that something was about to change. After what seemed like forever my first female child was delivered but there was something wrong she wasn't breathing! I tried in vain to save her but there was nothing i could do, my human tried to revive her rubbing her roughly in a towel but when she gave me that look i knew she could not be brought back. Although it pains me to say i knew i had to move on quickly and concentrate on the task in hand otherwise i could lose them all.
At 7.30am my final child was hand delivered by my human and SHE was healthy and joined her three brothers and began to feed immediately. So here we are suddenly a family of now five me and my four kittens, i will always hold a place in my heart for the one that didn't make it, but i am sure i will find comfort in the fact that i have four healthy kittens and i am incredibly content.

Monday morning blues

Its 4am Monday morning and something inside me is changing i think its starting i must make sure i have everything in place for their arrival. My humans come downstairs sometime around 7am the adult female feeds and waters me. The mornings are always so busy with the humans coming and going from the house. When the adult female returns minus her children she goes about the general routine of of using all sorts of noisy contraptions which i am led to believe help humans clean and wash, i am still convinced my way is easier.

I spend the day checking that the box i have been given meets my needs, then i settle down for the day, i find laying in the sun helps ease the discomfort. I don't seem to have much of an appetite today but i think it may have something to do with whats happening to me. Day turns to night and the humans disappear to sleep as they do when it goes dark, this is also something i do not quite understand as i consider the daytime the best time for that. I try to settle and rest knowing the road ahead is paved with so many possibilities but within the next few hours i will become something wonderful.........a mother.
