Plum is due to have babies at the end of February

Here she is - my little angel.  I can't wait to see the babies. She was bred to Boccelli, my new male. There should be diverse colours and coat patterns in this litter.

I used small scissors to trim the hair around each nipple. It makes it much easier for the babies to find lunch when tummy hair is shorter. Many years ago, I found a kitten suckling on a little clot of hair - I was horrified. I have trimmed the mother's udder area ever since.
