Introducing The Little Dodols!!!

My dearest cat Bebel finally gave birth to her second litter last Thursday. I dub these second ones the Little Dodols due to their dark colourings, a mixture of orange tabby and black. There are 6 of them and just like the little lempers, the little dodols made their entrance early in the morning.

Kakak already had an instict Bebel was going to give birth on Wednesday night. She said that Bebel seems restless and out of sort. We put her in the cage but she miawed loudly to be let out. So I let her out but keep the playroom door closed just in case she really did gave birth.

I didn't witness their birth but when I opened my bedroom door the next morning Bebel was already there greeting as if saying, come come see my kittens! So I followed her and bing hey ho... She proudly showed her very newborn kittens, all clean! I knew she a good mother :D so proud of her. Guess where Bebel decide to have the baby? In a room in kakak's doll house! So clever of her, choosing a cosy spot sheltering her little kittens from all sorts.

Obviously I can't let the kittens stay in the dollhouse. So began the task of moving the little dodols to their prepared cage while counting just how many of them are. In my excitement I calculated 6 plus 1 runt making a total of 7. I think I nearly collapsed. But later on the da reaise there were only 6. Still, that's 50% more than the lempers. But there was a runt tha I wasn't sure will survive. The runt is so much more smaller than the sibs. Kakak and I tried to feed him but well, nature says otherwise. The next day Runty lay lifeless and cold. Off we go for impromptu funeral in the garden.

Now there's only 5 healthy little dodols. I hope they will grow cuddle and strong as I need to find home for them.

Aaaaawwwww, too cute! That is so adorable that she curled up in a dollhouse to give birth. And that she was so excited to show you her babies. I'm sorry about the little one.
