And before you ask, yes, we have a female cat named Edgar. She came with that name, we got her from a friend up the road when we were having a mouse problem in our house. Apparently our friend didn't know that Edgar was a female, until she had kittens last spring bwa hahahha.

A year later Edgar's a Mom again, we have homes for all of the kittens, and more. We're actually considering not spaying her and letting her have another batch, she does all of the work, she's an amazing Mommy and we have people lined up wanting kittens. Plus you all know by now how much we love breeding lmao, at least we've stopped letting the chickens hatch eggs...

One grey, two grey/white/black, and one all black.

It's really hard to tell but there is the second kitten being born in the photo above. They really camouflage in, it was very difficult for me to get good photos.

Her labour started around 4pm yesterday. She was meowing at me a lot, and I figured it was probably time. She wanted a lot of pets, as long as I was stroking her she was quiet, but as soon as I'd stop she'd start back up meowing again. I'm super grateful that she wanted me to be a part of this experience, and that she didn't want to just go hide somewhere to have them. I admit, I was definitely all sentimental feeling remembering my babies...

I have the most photos of her with the grey one because it was first lol, we all know how we are with the first child...

She Let the Boys Hang Out Too

Brendan and the children absolutely loved the experience. Everyone was gathered around, and the younger boys had so many questions, it was a really great night for all of us. I'll leave you all with this video...


(Video 1:44)

Thank you, as always, for witnessing our journey.

Oh my goodness, that is an epic cuddle puddle. Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful puppies!!

So beautiful. So glad we got to see them before they were even 24 hours old. So cool. Too funny when you think of it. The first one out is the one we found sleeping on top of the kitten pyramid. Very awesome indeed. Lynds you make an awesome midwife. Your skills in animal husbandry are blossoming. Thank you Edgar for this breathtaking experience. xx

Aww, thanks so much for the beautiful compliment <3 I'm smiling lots :)

It was so great that you and Craig came over this afternoon to see your grandbabies hahaha! <3 <3 I loved how Edgar totally trusted you guys to be around the kittens!

Such a tender, miraculous moment. I, too, get very sentimental about birth. It just flings the door to my heart wide open. Thank you so much for sharing.

And thank you so much for the positive empathy @creationofcare :) xo

What tenderness, I love animals, I always had pets, I never had a cat. But they are all adorable. My girl was excited with the photos hahaha.

Bueno si, cuando era soltera y vivia en casa tuve perro, conejos, periquitos, palomas y peces. Despés que me casé como es apartamento sólo tuve agapornis y peces. Pero mi deseo es que cuando tengamos la casa tengamos un perro. y mi niña también quiere un perro.

Yo si soy mas de tener perro. Son mas amistosos.

Ths is so awesome! Congratulations Grandma! LOL I told you some cats like to have a midwife but Edgar was lucky, she had a whole midfamily! She is a good momma. Now for sure, you won't have any mice visiting your house!

Yes, you totally called it!! I couldn't believe when she was doing exactly as you described...coming to get me when the labour started, so amazing! And LOL to the midfamily!! HAHA I can't wait to tell the boys that one tomorrow <3 xoxo

It is quite an experience for the family! Enjoy the kittens!

Awww, @lyndsaybowes! How are you, my dear friend?! Edgar's such a good mommy! Black cats are the best. They tend to choose one human and latch on for dear life... at least that's what our black kitty did. Resteemed!

Hey Karen!! I'm doing great, and loved your recent post with the beautiful peacocks..! Edgar has definitely chosen me as her human...I'm so lucky! I hope to be best friends for many years to come <3 <3 Would love to have a kitten naming contest but they're all going to other homes in a couple months :( Thanks for the love SiSTAR!!

LOL... the peacocks are pretty, huh?! Loud, too! And, you know me! If you ever have a new baby of some sorts, count me in for helping to name the little bugger(s). You are so lucky that Edgar picked you. Our black kitty picked my husband so I only get love when I bribe her with treats, water or food. hehe. I do have a white kitty that loves me but only because no one else likes him so I am his by default. (I'm his 4th mom.) Everyone kept giving him away but I love the heck outta him... to everyone's surprise.

Mama Edgar looks so sweet and shows how she trusts your whole family. Good experience for all. Now the boys will have the kittens to people socialize.

You're right, these kittens will be 100% child ready and used to all sorts of commotion, they won't be scardy cats in their new homes!

Life is so much fun... well done Lyndsay and
Edgar. xx

Yeh I think we humans are too pampered lol x

WooHoo! Congrats Ed! My guess is that the Mice Community will understand that you were eating for five. 😎

Yes, and they are all happy that she will be indisposed for the next 2 months!

These are the cats of the cat..@lyndsaybowes

Awwwww! 😻 So sweet. Tell the lined up people to go to a shelter though, there are lots of kitties in need of homes there! Maggie was waiting at a no kill shelter for over a year before we found each other, and Yuan was at a country shelter. 💜
