An announcement

[xp_catseye]

I am writing to inform you all I have become the proud mother of two. This development was unplanned, but welcome. I've always wanted a big family. I hope you will all be supportive of what will surely be the first of many additions to my clowder.

My sons are very curious. If you come with offerings please be sure to shut the door of the suite so they don't wander too far. One of them is still delicate and needs his medications on schedule.

To anticipate the rumors: No, Liam is not the father. Don't be gross.

I'm a married woman. Obviously the father is Match.

They're very cute, I helped Sharon get them delivered.

[xp_catseye]

It's true. Thank you for your services as midwife. Today would've been much more difficult without your help.

[xp_mayhem]

I do my best. Once the little one is better, I'll bring Boris over and he can be a doggy heater for their naps. But for now, lots of bonding time for you.

[xp_catseye]

Yes.

And of course I've had a very tiring day.

[xp_darcy]

I distinctly remember asking you to get used to marriage before bringing a litter home, Miss Sharon. (Can I meet them once we get back tomorrow?)

[xp_catseye]

What can I say, our passion got the better of us.

I would love to introduce you to my family. Let me see how they're doing tomorrow before I start promising visits, though. I don't want to stress them more than they already have been.

[xp_darcy]

Oh yes, of course. Don't stress the babies. Do they need kitten milk and bottle feeding, or are they old enough to have actual kitten food?

[xp_loa]

What a busy day it sounds like you've had, congrats on the kits, I hope to meet them.

Namor told me he found a number in the lot you indicated on the day of the flood, so sorry, dear, it entirely slipped my mind, but I thought it important to tell you now.

[xp_catseye]

. . .

I am conflicted.

[xp_loa]

Oh, I don't have to meet the kittens. Promise. It's okay.

[xp_catseye]

No, no, of course you can meet my children. It was the other thing.

I must consider.

[xp_artie]

Congratulations on your new children

[xp_liono]

nap buddies!!

also thank you. I am not the father and I will not be the father.

[xp_catseye]

Agreed. A kitten should not be raising kittens.

That's Match's job.

[xp_liono]

for once, we agree

[xp_wildchild]

Yo, nice, I always wanted nephews. I'll get to building a cat tree or two once I stop smelling like hurricane.

[xp_catseye]

I'm glad to hear that, because they shall be only the first of many. Previously my mother and I were constrained by the space available in our apartment. This place is much larger.

I'm thinking a fully devoted wing, but construction will take some time. I'll start with a single floor.

[xp_banshee]

They're precious. Let me know if you'd like anything in particular for them to eat. I'm happy to accommodate. The butcher in Salem Center's got all kinds of tasty things like liver, also.

[xp_catseye]

Thank you, I'll take you up on your offer when they've had a follow-up appointment with a vet. They're on solids, but need deworming and a few vaccinations.
