Kittens - May 18

The girls with all the kittens

After having the mom cat spayed last week, the vet told us that she was "no longer a mom cat." And that the babies should be permanently separated from the mom.  Well, in our tiny place this really isn't feasible.  We took a gamble on the fact that she was a really good mom before her surgery and she would remember them and still mother her kittens.  Turns out that she is still a wonderful mom to her babies.  She came home and licked them all and has done fine with them ever since.  She plays with them and still allows them to nurse.
