OT Expensive QI

Posted by Kate T. on October 9, 2009, 10:30 am

My QI Miss Lucy is costing me several hundred dollars today. I have
to buy a new mattress.

Yesterday I spent the morning cleaning my bedroom, you know the usual
fall cleaning, changing draperies, washing windows, etc.
I changed the bed linens, folded up my Hug quilt and laid it on the
foot of the bed. The room smelled so clean. I thought about sleeping
in a soft bed last night BUT that didn't happen. I had to sleep on
the couch.

Miss Lucy met Jake the local tom cat a few months ago and I was so
busy this summer I didn't think about mating season. Now Jake it this
big yellow and cream colored fella. He is a huge cat. The results of
thier meeting showed up in my bed late yesterday afternoon.

Miss Lucy got into my bed, something she has never done before. I
missed her and went looking for after I came back from the grocery
store about 6 p.m.

She was giving birth right there. Thank goodness she was up next to
the pillows. I would had cried if she was on my hug quilt.

I let her alone. Went in to check on her this morning and she was
nursing. I don't know how many new QI's I have as yet. I am off to
get a new mattress as I know she soaked this one. Am also getting a
box for her and moving the new family to the laundry room.

Wonder if Jake will show up to babysit with his new family.

I guess there ARE some things even beyond "Nature's Miracle"! 8^)

Oops! They do pick their moments and places, don't they!

But congratulations anyway. New kitties are so cute...

So sorry about the mattress! I hope the new family is doing well,
however. Many years ago my sister had a lovely Puli, due to have her
puppies any day and who had inspected, napped in, and showed every
indication of her inclination to give birth in the special box set up
for her in the family room. Instead, while my sister was out running
a few errands, the Puli chose to give birth in a chair in the living
room -- a wonderful antique that had new silk upholstery!

Fortunately for us, we were able to notice the signs early enough in
the process to put down the plastic sheet and a 'throw away' sheet on
top so we didn't have ruined sofas and mattresses during puppy
birthing! The most problematic issue we had was when the puppies were
sliding along the various potective layers and slipping behind and
under the sofa cushions! Had to fish them out quickly. Fortunately
mom was too busy having the next one to worry about anyone picking up
her new babies. Moving them all to the whelping box after the big
event was easy.
