An Impending Arrival

In 33 days, give or take a few, how many I can't say, let's questimate between April 5th and April 19th, our black and white cat Tula, (named for the greek star Tula on "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" as our male cat is named Hercules) will become a mother of 1-6 new baby kittens. The father(s)...1)an orange tabby who was rather annoying trying to get in my house and decided to spray around my front door 2.) a black and white fluffy cat we named Tom 3.) a grey cat 4.) a grey and white fluffy cat with a jacked up eye. All 4 of which made our yard their home for about a week. We'd come home from an outing and find Tula "Playing" with one of these four tom-cats. To which the girls replied "Mommy, Tula's boyfriend is here again!" We'd try to break up the "playing" but they would just take off running down the street. Hence, we were doomed to be the guardians of a litter of kittens. She's getting fatter by the day and now when she walks her tummy sways too. She's becoming more and more tired, sleeping most of the day (more so for her at least) and extra lovey dovey with me. I'm excited to see what these babies will look like and have set up a nursery of sorts in the baby's room. A box taped up with a square hole cut into it about 2 inches above the ground so the babies can't escape until their eyes and ears open. Zach's only thoughts "You have to find homes for ALL of them, you can't keep ANY" Well...their goes my chances of being the cat lady. :)
