I stepped out on my front steps this afternoon to be greeted by the sight of our cat nursing five brand new kittens. She had given birth to them on a pile of clippings left under the holly bush. This is her second litter and, just like last time, there are three white and two grey kittens. We aren't sure if they were born last night or this morning, but since I was an Easter baby myself, that is my vote.

Here is SnowWhite as she looked when I first found her.

And here are the kittens. The third white one rolled out of the "nest" when its mama stood up, so it didn't get to be in the "group photo."

We quickly made up a box and put it under the bush for them and Mama cat moved them in right away. I'm sure those old holly leaves were  pretty uncomfortable.
