Well the day started as it normally does, Patches wants in or out and today we had a bit of a thunderstorm but not a real bad one. Patches had disappeared last night in the rain and about 5 AM she finally showed up. Martha let her in, but about 8 she wanted out. I let her go after telling her that she would get wet. About 10 she came back in and wanted attention, a lot of it. After a bit it became obvious that today might be the day for kittens. We have been trying to estimate how far she is along and I think today is 62 or 63 days. About 11 o'clock I decided that she should be in a box or on some towels and went to find one. She tagged along and she went straight to the one that has been there for over a month. First she got under the chair but then got in the box. After a while she came out and I put some towels down for her as best I could with her laying on it. The first kitten was born at 11:30 AM and the 4th one at 12:45. Patches handled it great and the kittens look quite healthy. The third one is black and the others appear to be yellow. I will post more pictures as they grow.
