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.
