Nature can be so cruel sometimes

Have everything crossed that the other babies, and of course Mum, will be OK

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4739 on:** June 08, 2012, 18:30:30 PM »

Cupcake and kittens have been to the vet this afternoon after Carol and I had the heartbreaking task of dealing with a second death. Please keep everything crossed for the remaining 3 kittens who dont have a lot going for them and for Cupcake who is very stressed at present.

So sorry to hear about the loss of the little one Teresa

Teresa. Am so sorry. Poor little soul.

So sorry

Very sorry to hear this

RIP little one, another one taken too soon xx

Sorry to hear this,

to Carol and you Teresa, this is very sad.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4732 on:** June 07, 2012, 19:12:45 PM »

I dont do Rainbow bridge, I dont do candles or RIPs but I do feel grief and this evening we are grieving for a little boy who only came into this world yesterday. Not long enough to make his mark on the world but long enough to leave a pawprint in our hearts. I do know that poor Carol will be equally devastated,yesterday was filled with so much joy and Carol was like an excited Grandma.
Cupcake is fine.

High Five!

Can't wait to see pics of Mum & babies together

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4730 on:** June 07, 2012, 10:46:25 AM »

Well you said five T and you were absolutely right - again.

I'm assuming you were also right on the colour of all of them.

So pleased that she has eaten well and is looking after babies.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4729 on:** June 07, 2012, 10:37:52 AM »

Our beautiful Cupcake gave birth to kitten NO.5 during the night. I was delighted that Carol saw the birth it is such a wonderful thing and Cupcake was the perfect cat to watch. Carol was beaming with delight and was very careful to watch the clock and see when she could do the next round of inspection

Cupcake has eaten well this morning and is a very protective mum.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #4728 on:** June 07, 2012, 08:38:31 AM »

Am very jealous Carol. Have never witnessed a birth either and to have Teresa's experience on tap as well must have made it far less stressful than it could have been

She is a very very beautiful girl

Tigerlily (Allison) · « **Reply #4727 on:** June 07, 2012, 08:35:26 AM »

Congratulations to new mum Cupcake

And Carol, how wonderful to witness a birth

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4726 on:** June 07, 2012, 07:04:32 AM »

Oh Wow - Carol!!

Teresa!!!

How fantastic. Cupcake is stunning, isn't she? Bet her babies are just amazing. She sounds like she's being a model Mum. Clever Cupcake.

Well done, Aunty T.

Shirley · « **Reply #4725 on:** June 06, 2012, 23:19:48 PM »

How lovely! Cupcake is a 'grey baby' like my Charlie, bless her

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #4724 on:** June 06, 2012, 22:06:31 PM »

Cupcake

What an honour Carol, to witness the birth!

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #4723 on:** June 06, 2012, 21:38:50 PM »

Sorry about that. I wasn't teasing - I really did have to go and eat.

Well I met Cupcake for the first time this morning and she is gorgeous - she has the the most beautiful green eyes.

She was very relaxed and friendly and purred like mad when I stroked her but didn't want to come out of her bed. I took some photies for the Paws Inn thread and when I showed them to T she homed in on the still half-full food bowl that was visible in one of the pics saying 'she's not eaten all her breakfast, I think she's ready.' You can't fool T.

Which is how I came to check on Cupcake with uncharacteristically impeccable timing and witness the first birth.

We left her alone to do her own thing after that but went back to check periodically and she produced the kittens at approximately hourly intervals. As I've already mentioned that was my first experience of a cat giving birth so I have nothing to compare it with but Cupcake seemed very relaxed about the whole thing. I on the other hand was on teneterhooks the whole time and am exhausted now.

Here she is just about 2 hours prior to the birth. She was understandably being very protective of her newborns so kitten pics will have to wait a few days.

I wonder if we are getting un-necessarily excited and the update/surprise/secret is poop related

Oh Helen you know us so well.

I'm used to Paws Inn cats expressing their happiness at seeing me by rushing to the tray to poop and that's exactly what I thought mum-to-be Cupcake was doing was doing when I peeped in and saw her standing on her back paws with her front paws on the side of the box. But as I watched she dropped her first kitten onto the pristine white vet bed.

By the time I leftPaws Inn xxzshe had produced another 3 and she looked to me as though she was calling it a day at that but as this is my first ever experience of kitten birth I wouldn't have too much confidence in that.

Colours? Exactly what T predicted.

Sorry got to go, OH has just put my dinner on the table (hungry work this midwifery). Photo of mum-to be before the excitement started to follow.

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #4720 on:** June 06, 2012, 20:30:27 PM »

Carol!!! Wot's gooin on Mrs?

I'd say put your foot down on that accelerator but think you may have precious cargo so

.... I can wait. The suspense will kill me but...... I can wait

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4719 on:** June 06, 2012, 19:14:47 PM »

All I am going to say is that Carol has an awful lot to own up to.

She has just left here so may be couple hours to wait.

Off topic D Day landings anniversary today my admiration goes out to all.

Sorry cant do my update as planned, Carol has a big secret so must wait till later.

He will be hogging the TV for 3 weeks for the football payback time is 2 kittens

Daisymac · « **Reply #4711 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:23:19 PM »

Just one for the time being, Steve has given me my limits

Liz · « **Reply #4710 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:12:10 PM »

Clare adding them together won't strain the finances that much just booster and flea treatment - we haven't changed food that much and we are well in to double figures and then you can have one each to help ease the loss of Miss daisy

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4709 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:07:26 PM »

Sorry Claire - there we go, enthusiastically re-populating your home with cats plural rather than cats singular.....

Daisymac · « **Reply #4708 on:** June 06, 2012, 12:03:34 PM »

LOL, I wish I could have both but only 1 more cat for us, so I would have to pick between Happy and Rainbow and that would be if Teresa was willing to let them go as a single cat x

Liz · « **Reply #4707 on:** June 06, 2012, 11:43:13 AM »

Clare sorry for the loss of daisy

I think Happy and Rainbow would be purrfect additions and playmates for JO Ripley

Being the same colour steve would take a while to notice and by then their paws are firmly under the table

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #4706 on:** June 06, 2012, 10:39:57 AM »

Claire - am gutted to hear about Daisy.

I think whichever kittens get to go home with you they'll be very lucky tittentats, and similarly you won't be disappointed.

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #4705 on:** June 06, 2012, 10:36:19 AM »

Claire as I said on the phone Happy and Rainbow are the happiest lap kittens you could ever meet.

Will do update on the inmates later

sheilarose · « **Reply #4704 on:** June 05, 2012, 21:44:22 PM »

So sad for you, DaisyMac.

RIP little Daisy

I know Teresa will find the right baby to help heal your broken heart. She's definitely the best one to make this call, she knows those kittens by ~~smell~~ heart

Happy is so pretty

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #4703 on:** June 05, 2012, 21:41:56 PM »

I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy

RIP little one, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

I think whoever you end up with from Paws Inn they'll be loved and spoilt to bits which is the main thing

Daisymac · « **Reply #4702 on:** June 05, 2012, 21:16:24 PM »

Havent been around on Purrs much but still follow Paws Inn and have recently lost my beloved Daisy which has been heartbreaking, with much support through the whole ordeal from Teresa which I have to give heartfelt thanks for, we have decided to adopt another baby and have reserved Constance from Paws Inn, I actually have no preference on colour for a new baby and am thinking that if black kittens are harder to home then maybe we should rehome Happy ?, so what do you guys think ?, Paws Inn baby and female is my only stipulation

JackSpratt · « **Reply #4701 on:** June 05, 2012, 19:11:30 PM »

From what we read on here (round the clock feeds, bathing several tiny wriggling, uncooperative bodies, coaxing cats out of overgrowth...) I'd hope noone thinks what you do is easy. I know I don't - and not just the physical side of things. The emotional side too....I think that is probably even worse in some ways.

You and your team do an amazing job. I really hope you feel massively better soon.
