CATS ON TUESDAY

This week I will limit the post to The Seven Dwarfs. Yes, you read correct: The Seven Dwarfs. They are the brothers and sisters of Felicia and Rosa. But they have never met. The Seven Dwarfs were born at our Summerhouse 4 and a half years ago. Luckely it was during the Schools summer vacation. Anna was there to help Sali, the mother with 10 kittens that popped out.She really needed a little help. Ten kittens - for a Manx it is very unusual. For not to say a medical sensation, as Manx most typical have 1-2 pr litter, and of them one often deadborn.

With other words an uneasy breed. If you have it as an income. We don't. We have them as our friends.Back to The Seven Dwarfs. They were the survivals of the ten. One, unfornunatly, had to be brought to the Vet. May be the cutest of them all - he was born lamb in his abdomen and was not able to detect when to pi etc. He was allways wet and dirty. That was the sad story, and I will never forget when he sat on my lap prrr-prrr, coz,coz, and I watched the clock, knewing the seconds ran out for him - we had the appointment at 6pm. Five to 6 I put him into the cagde and drove to the Vet. I refused to see the Vet givingen him the needle. It was simply to hard.
I went back to the Summerhouse (Anna was still at work) - and I was not able to keep back the tears - such a wonderful and fidel kitten.

During this Summer, Anna and I had a 5 day tour on the North West Coast of Norway - and My son, with his son Seb one year old, was catsitter.

Guess he was fed up with kittens when we returned. Instense smell and dirt from the kitten and a son still in nappies. What a Vacation for him.

Sali, the cat-mother, all the time moved the kittens to different places. Sometimes outside, sometimes under the house, sometimes in the houses. We had allways to count the kittens, specially when they approached 2 months +. One climbing the rock, one under the platform, one running down to the garden, one inside upstairs, one under the bed, one among the flowers and one trying to clomb the appletree.

They were all given away to people in the vincinty.

I posted pictures, like the last one here in the local shops.

In spite of all the work, it was an unforgetable experience.
