| Tiny and her babies |
I'd like to present to you my little fluffies 😻. Momma Tiny has brought home her babies!!! This is her first litter.
Tiny came into our year last October and she was about 2-3 months old. At that time, we had our older cat, Tissi. Since I am a cat person at heart, I let her stick around, feed her, and let her get accustomed to being a semi-house cat (half outside - half inside).

| RIP Tissi |
Last December Tissi died... She was ten years old, but I think someone poisoned her since she suddenly couldn't keep any food down. I took her to the vet, but her system already started shutting down and there was nothing he could do. I was heartbroken 😢. She has a resting place in our garden under a tree.
So, we now have Tiny, which was named this way because she was (and still is) a small cat. The vet advised us to let her have one litter of kittens before we fix her. She had five kittens, but one didn't make it 😔. The little trouble-makers she brought home (she had them in a shed) are two girls and two boys. One girl is tiny in comparison with her siblings (runt of the litter) but she's feisty. They're still nursing but are eating wet food as well and I'm teaching them to use the litter box. My kids are over the moon! They love playing with the kittens. And Blue, my dog, has become a surrogate mother 😂. She watches the kittens like she's afraid they'll disappear. Whenever the kittens are wrestling, she intervenes to break them apart... like she's saying no fighting. And she's washing them constantly! I'm like "Oh my god! Let them breathe!" I cannot imagine how she'll be when she's going to have her first litter of pups 😬. Until they are ready to go to new homes, I'll enjoy the happiness they bring and leave you with a small glimpse of the evening's entertainment...
