Some updates on Ella...I did some math and day 56 is 4/17. Since we didn’t note the exact day, it gives me an idea of when to keep a closer eye on her. (We know better!)

Cupcake was also witnessed being bred. We now have two litters of kittens coming. I guess I’ll have to change this to Ella AND Cupcake’s thread. Cupcake is still wild. She’s slowly trusting more but very difficult to get pics of.

Pics of Ella’s pregnancy progression:

As of the picture, it looks like Cupcake is pretty small. Be prepared, her kittens may not make it. Ella is very pretty.

Ella’s belly seems to have grown over the course of the day. I need to get in gear and start prepping for her to have her babies.

She’s had some kind of injury to her tail since last night. I sprayed it with vetericyn. It looked pretty clean. I’ll keep an eye on it. I think she tangled with one of my sister’s dogs that were here while she was on vacation. They got picked up today. I’ll keep a close eye on Ella for issues with this.

Cupcake is still completely avoiding us. Her future with us is in jeopardy because she will have to be spayed after this litter and I have to be able to catch the kittens. I’m trying to avoid a hasty decision. I don’t know what she’s been through. She freaked yesterday when DH and I were both working in the barn and accidentally cornered her. I’m trying to decide if she’d be a danger to the kids (due to her extreme fear.)
