My Manx cat, Phoebe, gave birth to 5 kittens yesterday. They are so cute and incredibly tiny and a very good opportunity to practice my photography!
She started labour at about 4 and eventually had the last one at about 8.30pm. The Manx ones are quite valuable as I sold one from her last litter for £200! His sister sold for £140 and they helped contribute to my camera. I have been waiting with anticipation for this litter to see if I can add to my equipment with a nice new lens! lol
Imagine my frustration when only one out of the 5 is a proper Manx! Typical! There is one that has a very short tail so that will probably be quite rare and the little white one, even though she has a tail has such unusual colouring that I'm sure she will be snapped up. The best part is they will all be ready just in time for Christmas. I found this rather strange as I have never heard of cats having kittens this time of the year but there you go, Santa loves me! :)
