Big Momma

Macavity has officially become the "Big Momma" of the farm.

We're all admiring her valiant attempts to escape from her ever vigilant, ever darling kittens.  

I love the tiny little tracks on the concrete.

She tries to escape,

but eventually they catch up to her. .  . .

and completely bury her.

Aren't they cute??

What A Batchful!

Fat Cavity

Okay- First of all, I'm sorry about the horrible pictures.  The big momma is in a box at the moment and it's dark in there- so I had to use the flash and the light reflected off of the straw.

Recently Macavity could only be seen either lazing around in the sun or desperately trying to waddle to her next resting spot, somehow supporting her extensive belly with a diameter of about ten inches.  Wow- she was FAT!

Fortunately, yesterday that changed.  We got home from school to find a pleasant surprise.

SEVEN baby kittens, all nestled up in their box with the proud momma.

I'm glad she's finally got something to do!  And she's an amazing mom, too.

With Darling children.
