Cute alert - mother cat feeding kittens

So lets try something new - here's a seriously cute video of Mitzi and her kittens.

Meet the cast

Meet the cast of the book

Mitzi was a our Christmas kitten.

...insisting on friendship from our 5 year old black cat Cleo.

And getting into everything. What is it about swimming bags...?

Outnumbered by cats - the new book

Exciting stuff - the book from the kitten diaries has finally emerged, well almost, it's at the printers at the moment...

It was another of my learning curves, it's my first book for adults, but it's still bursting with colour pictures. When it came to editing the photos I got distracted all over again, and though I edited them down a bit, there are still 82 colour photos in the book. I tried editing them into black and white pictures, but it was just such a shame, so instead I left them in as colour inserts - a bit self indulgent maybe, but who could resist all those kitten photos...?  

But what about the story - share with me, the journey from meeting my cat on facebook, and her kitten hood, to her becoming a mother, and filling our home with kittens - not to mention all the cat flap dramas along the way... 

Outnumbered by cats

"I'd like to get a female kitten and let her have one litter", I said to my stunned family... and the rest is history.

I entered into this adventure with my eyes open, having lived with cats all my life, and an adventure it has proved to be - and this life adventure is still unfolding...

This blog is slightly late in starting, after finding out that running a blog about kittens, while they are tiny is a tricky thing to pull off. But what I did have time for was a kitten diary, it was easier to write with pen and paper as kittens climbed all over me than it was to attempt to type... and so from those kittens diaries, which have the occasional paw print and chewed corner, and from the many photos that were taken along the way, a book has finally emerged, and now for the blog...
