Sparkle is in a family way. Gestation for cats is 62 days. Since we don't know exactly when conception occured, it's anyone's guess when the kittens will actually arrive, but from the looks of her it's imminent. Her tummy gets bigger and rounder by the day.
Zoe put a box in her room with towels on the bottom and has written Mom at Work all over it. If you ask me, it's cuter than hell. Chuck, I'm certain, is of another opinion.
Since this wasn't exactly a "planned" pregnancy there has been much speculation between me and Chuck as to exactly what the kittens are going to look like. And since there can be several fathers for one litter it's really anyone's guess as to what we're gonna end up with.
Lately we have noticed a wide assortment of neighborhood tom cats lurking around our front door. I now refer to them all collectively as Sparkle's Baby Daddy.
