Eir had her litter yesterday, but they were fairly pre-mature and didn't not survive more then a few hours. While it is sad, I'm glad it is over now. I feel she is too young to have to have been able to handle and take care of them.

I think you're right that she was far too young. At least you are taking good care of Bootsie and her while they recover.

I'm so sorry, Mike. You are being the best possible human to these guys who clearly need your special touch! *hugs*

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for caring for her and Bootsie.

Poor Eir -- still a kitten herself! At least we know that things will improve for her going forward, with you taking of care of her.

I'm sorry. At least, as you say, the cat birth saga is now over.

And I agree, they're all lucky to have you. :-)

You are a good human. :-)

It may be, no, it IS for the best, but it's still heartbreaking.

On a coldly practical note, you should confirm with a vet about how soon she might go back into heat, and either separate her from her brother or get one of them in and fixed and out. Her poor body can't take too much more of that.

Those poor babies. It's just as well, but... baby kittens. They bring out every protective instinct I have.

Yeah, right there with you.

Fortunately Tyr has already been fixed. His next visit will be for vaccine updates and a check up. I'm going to give Eir a week or two to resettle then schedule an appointment for her.
