Interesting activity at Our House

I have a confession to make. I didn't tell you something. I didn't have the heart, because my heart was broken.

I think Marsha abandoned her kittens. The next day after we discovered their birth, I found them all dead. I ached for them.

But now a new development has arisen that I far from expected.

Yesterday, Ezri had her litter; four little snows, plus one stillborn. (This happened last time, so I was a little prepared.) But every time Gabe and I have gone in to check on her and the babies, Marsha has been in the little house nursing the kittens!

I don't know what to think now, other than maybe she didn't know exactly what to do with hers, and now she does? Maybe because these four look exactly like hers? And since it has been two weeks, where did the milk come from?

Amazing, in any case. I am thankful though, because Ezri really got skinny the last week of her pregnancy, so this will help not put such a strain on her body.
