In addition to being the 68th edition of the homesteading carnival, today is queening day here at the homestead.  Just before lunch our Mamma cat, Patches went into labour.  So far we have two tiny, sweet baby kittens, who look just like their Pappa.  Who is this mysterious Pappa cat?  Not one of our Tom’s (DH and I fixed them), but a dark, handsome stranger we saw visiting the farm one day.  He was a handsome fellow, black with white tuxedo markings and white socks.  Both of the new kittens look just like him!  Well, with a bit more white, and more tabby/striped.

Here is Mamma in her queening box.  I didn’t want to disturb them, so this isn’t the best photo.  Patches was SO big, she must have had more than two in there!  She’s busy nursing at the moment.

So, I’ve dubbed this edition of the carnival – Kittens on the Farm, now on to the posts – enjoy!
