Salty Saudi Kitty Has Quadruplets


Salty Saudi Kitty, the cat I’ve been feeding the past few months, had her kittens a couple days ago and we finally found them today. I figured she had given birth because she stopped coming around to eat. Sure enough that is what had happened. She had snuck through an open doorway into one of the visitor villas across the street and had the kittens in a freshly made bed right up next to the pillow. No one would have found her for days or even weeks, but two guys just arrived to work here for a week and were assigned that house. They were surprised when there was a cat inside. They chased her out but she kept coming back. So they put two and two together and followed her and found the litter under the bed.

After a few phone calls around the neighborhood they called me. I went over and fed her and moved the kittens into a box and then behind my back porch. Salty Kitty ate and then immediately moved her brood to a hole under a house two doors down. She’s been to the back porch for food a few more times already this afternoon so I think she is okay despite a couple days locked up in the villa.

The question for the day is who is responsible for cleaning the sheets?

Who is responsible for cleaning the sheets? "Not I," said the cat!

Good question. I'd probably say you are responsible for Salty Saudi's soiled sheets since you named her but more importantly, what are you going to name all those kittens? Pepper & Cumin? Thyme & Rosemary? Tune-in. Could be a contest in this. Thanks for the great pics & stories.

Cute cats. So have you named them yet? Any chance of them getting eaten by the big "Dhub"? On the subject of the soiled sheet of Salty Saudi Kitty, sounds like an addition to the kitty home box.
