Shortly after we got Boss, we noticed that Kinky was putting on weight and it suddenly dawned on us that she was expecting kittens! What a shock! Boss was too young to be the father, he was still barely a kitten himself. So we made preparations, made Kinky's cat bed all nice and cosy and when the time was near we put her bed in the cupboard under the stairs so she could have some privacy. She seemd to approve of her bed in the cupboard and started to sleep there.
Then one day when the birth was imminent, Kinky decided to stay outside for the night, nothing we could do would persuade her to come inside. We were worried but Kinky stubbonly refused to come in the house. Boss stayed outside too.
The next morning when we got up, just outside the backdoor, there was Kinky and 4 tiny kittens and sitting next to her looking like a proud father was Boss, watching over them all. Kinky gave a big purr of pride and I scooped her and the kittens up and put them in her bed under the stairs. The kittens looked so cute - two black kittens with white markings, a beautiful marmalade kitten and a dark brown kitten with big panda eyes. When they were a bit older and starting to walk around, we feel in love with them and wanted to keep them all! They were such lovely kittens. Of course keeping the kittens was never an option and when they were weaned we found good homes for them all and reluctantly said our sad goodbyes to them.
