Oh I forgot to tell you! Last night I came home late from the barn so it was pitch black. My dog had rolled in something unpleasant so I decided to enter through the back (so I would leave her out until I got her bathed). I switched on the light -- and nearly stepped on newborn kittens! One of them was white (Siamese). The mother was nowhere to be seen so I picked them up and wrapped them in towels.

But when I came back she had moved them. :(

Still, it's always exciting to see them when they are first born -- all covered with blood and eyes shut and what have you. I hope I can find them! The Siamese ones have a waiting list for adoption.

Awww! I hope you'll find them again.

Unfortunately between the coyotes and the owls, they don't stand much of a chance. :(

Only if I find them and lock them up in the house are they likely to survive. But I never want to do that if the mother is alive. Since these were just born, I left them and sure enough she took them.

I guess that is supposed to be 'nature red in tooth and claw'?

I know. Everything has to eat. *sigh*

Kittens should be exempt from the food chain.

Yes. But they're not.
