Memu has left the building

Well everything is good here. She has felt safe enough to go to the barn and go potty ect. She still will not use her litter in here. But I keep forgetting barn kitty. She really is a great mom. She will stay with those babies till I ask her to come on let’s go I know you have to go;) I had my Friend Merrie come over yesterday. She wanted to take a look at the famus Memu kittens. She was like OMG there huge. I have never had kittens as you can tell. Who would blog about there barn cat having a litter but me:) But hey that is what makes me.. me..

They still look like little rats to me. Very cute little rats and very colorful. But still not like those cute pics you always get forward to you by 1000 people with all the cute pics of kittens saying stupid crap but makes you laugh. Nope mine just lay in a clump or sucking the life out of my Memu.

 

 

Memu on lock down

ok first there is no spell check on here. You know me I can not spell worth a crap;) But they say it will be back soon. So with that said sorry for any spelling mishaps.

Ohhh memu… Well she finally came out this morning. She never left her babies for over 24 hrs. She also would not eat or drink. I think she was just concern over leaving them she would not move. So last night I had enough. I had her water bowl from the barn and had put food in it. I also had a new bowl that I had put fresh water in for her. She just would not touch the water but if I hand fed her she would eat.  I swear even my barn cat is high maintence;) So about 11:30 last night I was feeding her and said to myself… If I put some water with her food and she eats it at least she can get some water that way. Sure enough she drank the crap out of it. So then now were at midnight I go back out to the barn grab her food dish bring that back some food for her and do the switch a roo. Water back in the old dish food in her normal dish. She looked at me as to say..” About flipping time” So now I can sleep knowing she is drinking and eating. But you know I can’t really sleep yet. She has not gone potty since the night before and that was at 7pm. You know she has to go. I tryed everything. Look Memu this litter box is just FAB. She said NOPE! Look Memu mommy will play in it come play with me. She said NOPE! 1:30am I said screw it. Going to bed God speed on the bladder Memu.;)

This morning I awoke to thinking hmm wonder if she ate or drank last night. I nver heard the babies squeek. That would be they are sucking the life out of her and have not let go of the milk bar since they came out. Anyway get up go take a peek and she was so happy to see me. I told her going to feed the horses be back and we will see if you can go potty then. So off I went to feed the beasts. Come back and she came out of her hole! I was so happy.. Do you want to come out I said. She was out the door before I could even get the thing out of my mouth. She walks over to a tree and does her dooty.. Yea Memu.. Then she walks over to the middle of a pasture and heads kind of to the barn stops half way there and just sat there. I took the time to take some pics of the babies. I looked outside and hear she came. She came in right to the babies picked one up and was leaving right out the door with one. I said OHH NOO you don’t! Your on lock down there miss kitty and no out side with them babies. We had to come to terms on that one. In other owrds I grab the babie out of her mouth and took it back to the other 3. She came right with like ohh lady you have no idea. I said yes I do and you will not take them outside to the barn. A hawk or snake or god knows what will take your babies and I will freak out. You know Ashley freaking out is never a good thing;) So she calmly laid back down with her babies and all was good again. Silly flippin cat!

Memu had her babies!

First I am all jacked up on coffee. I have been up since 3:30am. So here is how my night went down;)

We had some pretty bad storms all night here and most of the day yesterday. So I made sure the horses were all tucked in and happy early. Memu was more clingy to me yesterday. She is kind of like a dog though. She follows me everywhere and watches me clean every stall. So I was walking back to my house and she was running after me mewoing the whole way. I was like ok Memu are you comming in tonight. She was like yep momma I am. So in she came. She went straight for my couch. She can get under it and there is some storage area there. I have been thinking if she dose have her babies in my house she would have them under there since that is where she will go every time she comes in. But she always comes out once I settle into bed and gets in with me and sleeps the whole night. So last night she did just that straight for the couch then after about a hour came out and went to sleep with me on my bed. She was so funny she would lay there upside down all belly and I would talk the babies and tell them come out little ones I want to see you. I would poke them in her belly and they would kick me back. I had been reading on the net yesterday what to look for when a cat gose into labor. The one thing they said was there temp would drop to 95′ to 97′ So you know me I had to take her temp yesterday and it was at 97′. Let me tell you.. Memu was not to happy about me sticking a thermonter up her booty.

So any who.. I was up with her till about 1:30am watchinig whatever on tv. She was still sleeping curled up with me. So I must of fell asleep soon after. About 3:30am I heard a squeak! I thought to myself is that the tv? I muted it.. Nope not the tv. So I ran to the couch looked under and there she was having babies! She looked at like ohh momma help me.. Of course she had 2 out and they were still very wet. So I grabbed my phone and called melody;) Poor mel she gets all my calls when something is happening here at the farm. Thank god she is 3 hrs behind me, hahahha Melosy was like is that all she had I said yes I think she is done. Mel say’s don’t freak her out and let her chill. I said ok I will call you back. So i went back to see and she was having one more. Now foaling out horses is NOTHING like watching a cat have birth. EWWWW is all I can say.. It came out and she took the sac off I had to hold myself back from doing that. lol Then her plecnta came. OK that is super ewww she ate it. I was like ok now i shall puke.. I turned my head for all of that nastyness. Really I was going to puke. I guess I’m not so good with the eating of that. I would never make it in the wild;)

Once she was done with that I was like ok back to awwww I love you Memu I loveeee your babies… She was looking at me like thank freaking God this is over.. She is beeing a great mom. She has not left them at all. i gave her food and water under the couch. I found a old baking pan for a litter box since I do not have one and I am thinking she will need it since she is in here;) Here are some pics of the little muffins a couple hours old.

   Oh I almost forgot 1 is all black like Memu. 1 is gray and white and 1 is black and white. I will get more pics when you can see them better.

Memu the barn cat

Hmm… Watching her be prego is almost as bad as waiting for one of my mares to foal. I have gone back and looked at posts when she was doing the kitty Boom Boom on cam. She started that Feb 11. So that would put her at 53 days. From I can find on the net. They go 54 to 60 days. Hahaha That cracks me up watch I have to sit hear and waite to the last day;) Just like a mare. So here are some pics when I first started taking some of her.

As you can see in this pic she is not big at all. Just a sweet protector of the barn! Now as you can see from the following pics taken today. She is huge. She has started to lick the crap out of her little nipps and just groom herself. Now I know most of you are thinking .. man It’s just a cat. Well in my world it’s my sweet Memu and she will be getting spaid as soon as her kittens are weaned;) She will now have her own categories link to the left. Check updates on there for my little girl:)
