My beautiful boy is the result of my sisters 5-6 month old being a tart, she was the result of my cousins 5-6 mo being a floozy who was the result of a one night stand with someone elses 5-6 mo.............. honestly a great granny at 2 
, mine is now well knackered spayed and is a right terror but lovely at the same time!
Kittens are divine, and when they grow up they look after themselves 
, however be warned, one of my pusscats siblings didn't make it. There were some birth deformities which made it very difficult. I think this is quite common with young first time mums.
Congrats to be mummy to ickle kitties though, sounds like you are doing a fab job .
My Salem is the result of a night of passion between a pair of 6 month old brother and sister cats. They were the result of a similar coupling. The former owners hadn't got a clue
I made sure that all the cats concerned, kittens, parents and grandparents were spayed and the CPL found them homes - well except for Salem, I kept him as he was the only totally black cat and truly gorgeous.
Unfortunately he prefers my DH to me 
Awwwww nice one Pinot. Hope they all make it! Post pics of them all!
Back in november, right in the middle of the cold spell, a tiny young black cat crawled out of the rubbish where my parnter works. Heavy machinery had already gone over the rubbish, and was passing back over for a second time when she crawled out. He took her into his office, gave her a drink, and phoned the RSPCA. 7 weeks later she came to live with us and our aging moggie, a bit fatter, with a lot of stitches and minus a back leg.
She's now leaping about like a mad thing protecting us from the winged menace that are moths, regularly steals and kills my loo roll, chases cats three times the size of her out of the garden, and is generally a naughty, hilarious little thing.
at stealing and killing the loo roll
my cat used to bring in leaves for her kittens to practice their hunting skills on
My sisters cat - brother to my killer - catches worms and thinks they are brilliant gifts for mummy
CatPower, don't forget that there may be more than one father, so the kittens might not all look like the tabby tom or your cat. It must be exciting waiting to see exactly what colours/types turn up 
Always wanted lots a cat, me...
What a lovely, and strangely gripping, thread.
Good luck at the vets today.
Ooh Marking my place for an update.
Val - I wonder what we would do without you - you have helped so many of us with our creatures. (quick hijack - was having a moment of wondering why we got our dog - she was a teenage puppy and was driving me demented. I was lucky enough to get some help with training her as I admit I was struggling, the advice I got was amazing and we now have a fully integrated part of the family who is much adored thanks to some kind words from Val and some good advice I got here so thank you so much, she is happier and we are happier which can only be a good thing 
)
So how are the little munchkins this morning?
