Kittens
Not Mommy and the babies
One of my parents cats, Tucci, just had kittens a few days ago and they are incredibly cute. Eight of them. Two calico, two gray, one black and white, two black, and one gray and white, I think. I would be more sure but there are often two full grown cats and 8 babies all piled up so it is hard to tell. One of my parents other cats, whose name we can't remember, is sort of a co-mom. She is the one in the picture with the kittens, actually she is a better mom than the actual mom. When Tucci feels threatened she runs off, the other stays with the kittens and growls. Mom says that the other cat, Windex may be pregnant too so that could explain her behaviour. Yay more kittens. Any one want a kitten?Yesterday we hung out around the house, Oli and I moved some of mom's strawberries down to the lower garden. Then we went to a very early dinner at Puerto Vallarta and dessert at A&W.
Today me and Layden and I and maybe Oli will go pick up my parents at the airport and visit Katie for a bit.

The latest theory is that both the cats had kittens around the same time. According to wikipedia litters are normally 4-6 kittens. Tucci wasn't particularly big either. Would also help explain why they're 'life partners.' Not that there's anything wrong with that—two consenting mama-cats may... I'l stop there.
Also, my mother was "petting" (heavy-petting methinks) Windex and discovered that she had hard, large nipples. So she had a previous experience to draw upon to compare? Hmmm. I'll leave the reader to draw their own conclusions.
"That's a lot of kittens."
"The mamas can tag-team breast-feeds—they may even get fat."
"I dunno, there's twice as many kittens as usual. Plus there's more kittens then nipples."
"Nope, I think I felt 8 nipples."
Guess who's who.
