THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Veronica...That's neat that Bootsie will litter box train her babies.It's really something that the Mother just knows what to do....And Send and Veronica,I guess my brother just guessed and got it "spot on".I'll never know how he knew that-...And Freqflyer,I just let the cat out for 2 days before Christmas,so I think there was only 1 Father because I only saw this "tuxedo" black and white feral cat around our house and also it came to our back door wanting in or wanting Bootsie at Christmastime,and it has never come to our back door or wanted in,so I bet Bootsie was in heat then.What I couldn't believe,was how long it was between each baby...This is how they came #1 came at 3:00 a.m
#2 came at 4:35 a.m
#3 came at 5:05 a.m
#4 came at 7:00 a.m
After the 3rd one,I thought she was done for sure and then almost 2 hours later,here came #4!
I feel like a zombie with no sleep all night.We'll all hit it early tonight.
It is so great to have this new life in our home after so many deaths last year.I feel very blessed and proud of Bootsie~

May be he did an ultrasound or just guessed or is psychic or maybe Bootsie told him. Four is a good usual average for a cat litter.

How did your brother know, Luckylu, so very early, that there would be four?

luckylu, make that "fathers". It's my understand each time a cat mates, that is one kitten per mate, so if the cat was an outdoor stray then she probably had a lot of partners when in heat.

I have a brother and sister cat from one litter, stray kittens. He resembles a very large Black Bombay, and his sister resembles a Maine Coon.

When I grew up on the farm there were always kittens, even when our own barn cats didn't have a litter there would be someone dumping some off at the roadway. Now I haven't seen any kittens for a long time :'(
How many do you have?!!

I promise not to sweep water if there's lightening, Send

After the 14 hour day from hell with mom in the storm of the century, I get to lather, rinse and repeat again tomorrow

Found out late tonight that mom's fav caregiver called off tomorrow afternoon and mom has to go the neuro which means I'm taking her myself and won't have anyone to help get her back to the hotel California afterwards and it's raining again

Thank you Luckylu. This is California.... the jokes here in my area of the state revolve around it being feast or famine with rain. In Idaho, my dd says it is every 10 minutes in Idaho the weather changes.

Thank you Luckylu! I think everyone has battened down the hatches for this storm. Hard to ignore the rain, wind, and warnings.  No one is used to this in California, unless there is shaking going on.

Please, MsMadge, stop sweeping, you will hurt yourself. Call 211 and ask for help. Also, they rent pumps if the water gets deep enough. Equipment rental companies. Be safe! Standing in water, lightening or a downed power cord and we would be at such a deep loss without you! So would your Mom! Who would tuck her in at night?

The News yesterday, as I was driving to pick up hubs....
Don't drive if you don't have to, stay in.
The rain stopped to reveal a clear black sky with stars and some clouds far away. It was beautiful. A storm is coming.....

I talked with my son and dil in SoCal. I was concerned about my sons commute to and from work yesterday as he has to use I-5 driving 55 miles one way. He made it to and from safely. I was happy about that as after watching the news....sink hole with 2 cars going in it and other people washed away in the flooded river. Wow, the mudslide in the San Bernadino Mountains!!! We had slides in the Northern Sierras too but not like this one. Hope we are not completely water logged after Monday.

MsMadge,
Were you able to get home from work tonight? Is your power out? Check-in please.

Sharyn, Power was out momentarily at the Senior Center, but at home there is light, heat, water, and hubs is home.

Luckylu, Maybe what I really need is a chicken, so I won't feel so all alone.

Gershun! Thank you! I love that dark gray kitty. Do you think he will be allowed to cross the border? Has he had his shots?

Yes, you are an inspiration when it comes to scatological humor, Lol.

Send, just noticed your dingleberry avatar. So glad I inspired that. LOL

I'm sending one of my cats over. He should be there shortly. Remember the sharpshooter cat in my old avatar picture? So look out for him. He is making a stop off in Washington to poo on Donald Trump's head.

Just watching the news. send, you are getting the type of storms we get. It is a nasty one for sure. I hope you have no power outages too. We have trees down here too. Stay indoors. We all need a boat and life jackets, lol!!

I wish you had a dog or a cat Send,You need one.Stay safe in that storm and I hope your power stays on.

At home now, WOW, that is a nasty storm, max. 30mph for safety, streets flooding. Someone's car has water surrounding it about 1-2ft. deep, boy they will be surprised trying to get in it to go home. Trees down, the I-5 is on the news closed due to 5 ft. of flooding. This is so unusual for California weather. Wish I had a cat or dog I could cuddle and protect. But I am okay.
Cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck, the sky is falling.....

MsMadge,
Don't think anyone ever gets locked out if they get reported. That is just not something the AC Admins do, imo. Sharyn is probably right, it is a website glitch or internet failure. Be sure to write in to them. a.s.a.p.   It's not you!

Or, what exactly have you done to get reported, hmmmmn? Come on, you can tell us, were you a brat? I just don't think so.......
Love, from Send

MsMadge, this seems to an ongoing problem with the site. I was locked out awhile back too. Even though I had the right password, the site would not accept it.

Thanks, Sharyn!
If I did not wait 3 months and had already re-scheduled today's appointment, I would not go out. Then, right after, the fourth important thing to do is get dH to work, then home tonight. Mwaahhhh! Scared.
