Previous updates!
The first pics are of her little hellions. The last one is apparently mine. I think I might know where they get it from!
I'm also thinking my little Orange-Bob might be a bit of a ham. Just a guess though. 🤷♀️

Well, it's happened. Someone told me when the Littles were old enough, mom was going to start leaving them to me. Apparently day 4 was old enough. Every day, she shows me where they are then takes a casual stroll about town(the bathroom), picks up some fine dining(Fancy Feast), then takes to sunbathing by the pool (the window next to my bathtub.)
I have also made a little nest for myself in the tub so I can hang out with them for a few hours a day. If I'm late, Lucy delivers one of my charges to the nest. I get a stern side-eye for my faux pas of making her wait. I've learned to apologize by showing up with a container of yum-yums to appease the mama-beast.
Yeah, that cute little kitty hiding oh so innocently under the bed has turned into a ruthless dictator. I've thought about staging a No Queens protest in the bathroom but I'm pretty sure she can take me.
She's still pretty cute though!🥰
Last photo is a bonus pic of the six little surprises I got this morning. 👀
Original Post Update #1 Update #2
Just a mini update and bonus squeaky kitten video. Lucy and the Littles saw the Vet today. She's older than we all guessed at between 1-2 years old. Apparently she's just a tiny cat at 6.5 pounds. No chip. Seems pretty healthy and the Littles are doing great! 🥰
They thought they might be able to get them into a rescue but I declined. She's NOWMYCAT and her and the kids belong here. Next appt will be when they're big enough for shots and she's ready to be spayed.
So for the time being, I apparently now have seven cats. 😱
Well played, Trojan cat. Well played. 😼🐈
Regarding my previous posts, I can't believe how many people took time to respond, give awards, give great advice, and wish us well. Thank you SO SO much kind Internet strangers! 🥰🥰
On to the update, as a lot of people thought might happen, we didn't make it until Tuesday's vet appt. About midnight on Sat, Lucy had the first of three adorable little kittens! Should have known she was in labor, a feral cat demanding belly rubs and laying her head in my hand seemed pretty comfortable after just over a day inside. Lol
Lucy was amazing and both Mama and babies are doing wonderfully! They'll all be seeing the vet tomorrow. I ordered one of those small scales to monitor the kittens but you can see in the third photo, they're turning into little plumpkins already!
And yes, Mama Lucy is definitely Nowmycat! ❤️
Quick update on the small interloper that snuck in and set up shop under my bed. We've now moved to the master bathroom. I pretty quickly realized that itty bitty kitty I'd been seeing around wasn't ear tipped and is now not so bitty. At least in the belly region. 🙀
I've got a vet visit set up for next week but for now she seems to be okay with having the bathroom to herself. I thought it best to give her quiet space and not have her interact with my three, at least until after the vet visit. Talked to a few rescues and no one has any space for her at the moment. I'm not sure I could let her go now anyway.
She has chosen and I've dubbed her Lucy because I've already fallen in a bit in love with her. 💙
PS: Please don't judge the vast number of hair products I've got, it gave her lots of fun stuff to knock over all night! 😂
Edit to add a link to my original post. Original Post
Sorry, I should have figured out how to do that BEFORE I posted!
