Outnumbered by cats

The book:

 The Blurb:

I'd like to get a female kitten and let her have one litter," I said to my stunned family when they raised the kitten topic. Not surprisingly a suitable kitten was quickly found...  and Mitzi arrived in time for Christmas, bringing her own brand of fun and chaos, and demanding friendship from our 5 year old cat Cleo.

By summer Mitzi was quite confused, she came into season and started calling shamelessly. But when a hapless tomcat answered her call, she was far from impressed; causing more than one cat flap drama, and a hole in the door where a flap used to be. 

Eventually nature took it its course and Mitzi had kittens. The first few weeks were blissfully peaceful, watching as Mitzi took care of their every need. We had a week of heartache when one of the kittens was poorly, and then not developing properly, and was destined to challenge and inspire us in ways we could not yet imagine. 

Then they grew big enough to escape their box, and the bedlam began... 

The cat waiting for the empty box...

Because cats love to be the centre of attention

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...
