Here is Kipper, a beautiful young girl who is very pregnant and living with me for the next couple of months.
.
.She is due to give birth in the next couple of days, and so we are getting ourselves prepared. Kipper is doing this by purring a lot and exploring every nook and cranny in my house, while I prepare several different boxes and baskets for her to choose from in the dining room. She may think that behind the stereo unit is a good place to have kittens but I have very different ideas!
.
She is a very affectionate cat, although some of that may be due to her current situation, and loves to bury her face in your hand or snuggle up on your shoulder whilst purring loud enough to wake the neighbours!
.
.
I usually start looking after mums and babies after the birth and they would normally have been named by the RSPCA. But in this instance I will get to name them. Myself and a group of friends have been battering (did you see what I did there) fishy names around, and I think the best ones seem to be Nemo based. Nemo, Dory, Marlin, Bubbles and Squishy are the favourites so far. Let's hope there aren't more than 5 kits!
.
.So here we are, looking forward to the next 8 or so weeks of kitten fun.
