Strange place to give birth to a kittenHI everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been on here much recently, I have been so busy with cat stuff - I don't know if I'm coming or going at the minute.  Anyway I had a call from a lady saying that a cat had a kitten in her garden last year, they kept the kitten, but never handled her as she was timid... she's now wild & unapproachable. She thought she may have had a litter as she heard squeaking in the shed a few days ago, but didn't want to look & as it was all quiet now - she presumed they were all dead.....  Off goes Smudgley to check out things! I arrived to find 2 kittens (8 weeks old) they are from the origional mom again. Then she showed me the shed..... in the corner was a black plastic bucket, inside the bucket was the mom cat. I gently tipped up the bucket so that wild mom got out & at the bottom was a big fat baby! wriggly around quite contented... fancy having your baby in a bucket.

Awww! Feral cats have such a sad life! Will you be taking the bucket baby or is it too little to leave mum? |

Well you have the perfect ready-made name - Mop for a boy and Moppet for a girl. And a wonderful publicity story for the local paper. Take some kitten pics but don't tell them/get it published till the kitten is ready to rehome. Publicity and a queue of people wanting to adopt! Sorted! |

Well that must be a first Smudgley  you would have thought it would be too cramped to give birth in a bucket!! Was the kitten a little 'pail' in colour?  |

It's a boy DM. Oh yes & the 2 kittens that are 8 weeks old - she is keeping & told me they are girls... then I shocked her by telling her they are actually 2 boys! |
