so, we finally got into the back of the chair where Fluffy had her kittens. Jess held the chair forward, while i crawled back behind it and removed them.
Me: okay, here's one - it's so tiny! awww!
... two..
...three!...
...four?...
...FIVE!..
...SIX?!?!...
...OMG.. SEVEN?!?!?.. oh, that's just fluffy's stomach.
six kittens, all small enough to hold cradled in one hand/forearm against my stomach. three tabby, two solid grey, and one white one with grey on his back that looks EXACTLY like one of those ink splotch tests. we moved them to the little fake hearth and covered the entrance with a sheet, to make fluffy think it's her little private cave, where the kitties will never be disturbed... until she goes outside >:)

how can anyone NOT like kittens?
i've also discovered i'm allergic to dog saliva.
*melts*
and almost two months later, they still make me melt.
and we still have one left!
it's okay, cuz he's the runt, and still HOWLS whenever he's left alone in a room!
Of course, the mother forgets them if she goes away from them for more than like, a day. I can't remember how long they said it was, on that nature show, but it seemed like a very short time. Maybe it was three days.
for awhile, it seemed like someone was coming every day to pick up a kitten (or one died *cough*), and the mom freaked out and howled around the house in nooks and crannies, looking for them for approximately 3 days.
then we had two left and all was back to 'normal' (including a mother cat that thought she was 6 weeks old and less than a pound, too, which makes a TON of noise at night!)... we got rid of another one today, so i'm wondering if it will be more of the same...
