Kittens!!
I was just about to lie down on my very big and very empty bed, an english four-post .. when I heard this mewing + I looked around. Ok. The cat wants to come in.. dragged myself to the door. No cat. Hmmm.. Checked the backdooor. No cat.
So I laid back down and there it was again. The faintest mewing.. I thought.. NO... I started looking around.. finally I found her underneath a solid oak chest of drawers I had , in the den adjacent to my bedroom. This was a place that Lilo and Stitch had run to, when they were kittens. A gray and white one. Others. I breathed a sigh of relief that the offspring were not likely from incest or the bad grey cat (Lilo is all grey, so grey X grey would have been grey kittens altogether) .. but rather, a beautiful white and grey spotted male that was around when she was in heat. I found a bit of afterbirth on the ground, picked it up. Then Lilo and I looked at each other. And her eyes were open wide. I kind of dropped down to the floor and just sort of closed my eyes, and then she closed her eyes in kind and I reached in under the chest of drawers and petted her, and she started purring. I dragged the kids out of bed to see them. They saw them, and were happy. They are both sleeping in my bed while I am upstairs, and they'll get to see them in the morning.
