We have no babies yet, but Monday ain’t over yet. Is all I’m sayin’. I could still be right that she’ll have her babies today! (But I don’t think so.) We’ll see!
Over the weekend, she slept a lot.
She ate a lot.
“RUDE!”
She thought a lot.
She has such an expressive face.
She likes this corner of the room.
Probably because it’s kind of hard for the humans to get to. It’s the corner under the wall basket, and so I have to kind of squeeze over there and bend over to get to her.
She loves her chin scritches.
Blep.
Did I mention I love her sweet little face?
This was yesterday morning. I like seeing her with a little more confidence.
Pardon the weird angle. I was trying to get a good picture of her shape. Football-shaped, am I right?
So, a few things: there’s been belly movement that is definitely belly movement. So I’m confident that she IS pregnant, but have zero clue when they’ll actually come. I can’t give y’all a report on her nipples because I know they’re there, but there’s so much belly floof that I can’t see them. I don’t feel full milk sacs yet.
I am NOT naming one of her kittens Katrina. It’s a pretty name, but Katrina did so much damage that to New Orleans that I feel ookie at the thought of giving a kitten that name. Etoufee is also off the table (see what I did there?), awesome as it is, because in French it means “choked,” so no. At some point I’ll get all the names into a list and post them, and y’all can warn me about any negative connotations I don’t know of – my rule right now is that I’m not going with anything too difficult for a non-Louisianan to pronounce. That could change, of course!

“Oh? Are you giving me attitude, dish towel? Are you sure you really want to do that?”
“I’ve subdued it, lady. You’re safe.”
“You’re welcome!”
