Ok so I have a confession to make, well actually 2! firstly found out about 6 weeks ago that Tilly has been managing to get outside without me knowing as the boy has been leaving his bedroom window open at night, so she's somehow managed to go out of his window (2nd floor) down and then coming back in before morning which was found out after I took her to the vets to be spayed to be told she cant be done as she was apparently more than 6 weeks gone and more likely due in the following week or so! So being extremly embarrased about this I've kept it quiet from you all as well I was so distraught and also so worried about my baby that I didn't want to say anything to anyone. Well the vets were way out and she could of been spayed as she finally gave birth this Thursday to a litter of 8 which sadly the last 2 were stillborn and I couldn't revive them (we had a little funeral for them) which was upsetting and I must sound so awful but I was just glad that tilly made it through ok!

All windows and doors are now being kept locked and the key hidden!!!

So confession number 2 (yes its definately the week for it!) After already expecting tilly to be due any day (as she was huge ) Heard a little squeak Monday night, dashed upstairs to find that it was not Tilly but Milly who had given birth to a kitten! Now Milly is a rescue of mine that had been badly abused and was told she had been spayed and vet confirmed they thought there was a spay scare, and being as she's never called either and there was not even the slightest curve on her stomach, no pinking, even all the fur didn't come off her nipples til 48 hours after! (and she's only a small cat!) she went on to have a total of 3 kittens (how I dont know as I still cant figure out how she fit them in there without even a slight belly!)

So I now have 9 although beautiful, very shocking and emotionally draining kittens!

One good side though is both have been snap tested and both are clear which is such a relief!

So there you go my full and honest confessions, beat me with whips and tell me how stupid I am cus I am doing it to myself already! I just couldn't hold it in any longer

Oh my goodness what a surprise. Shame the vets didn't get it right about both mums. Thank goodness both mums were ok. So now you've got lots of sleepness nights and 9 kittens to find homes for!!

Wait no I have one more! Because Millie and Tilly are inseperable since we took Millie in, we have also had to "pool" the kittens as both were very distressed when parted - and yes I know I've had a lot of cr*p going on but its no excuse, you know it and i Know it so please give me my b*ll*ck**g and get it over with

Yes very very glad they were ok and are both already booked in 28/11 which is when Millies will be 12 weeks and if I have to barrackaid all doors and windows til then it will be done!

Oh and erm only need to find homes for 8, just currently having an arguement over which one with the kids and well I cant decide as we have 3 ginger ones which ones is not the usual ginger stripe but ginger spots and then we also have one that is black and white stripes! can see us keeping both

Not the vets fault really it's very difficult to tell whether girlies have been spayed.

When our Blackie adopted us the vet wasn't sure and didn't want to open her up because it's so invasive. Luckily she must have been because we never got kits.

8 kittens wow you must have your work cut out.

yes that is true but Tilly they were totally out with regarding the due date of the kittens and she could have been spayed rather than having them

We do have 9 lol its just that we'll be keeping 1! (at least) so far all is going well, although some sleepless nights with the "how the h*ll" and "omgs* they are all putting on weight nicely and both mums are doing well thankfully!

Yes I know it sounds cruel but if they said she was within the times and could have been spayed we'd of gone ahead as she had her 1 (and was suppsed to be only litter of 1 ) on 15th May so have been literally out of my mind thinking that I was going to lose her

ps Im not blaming the vets its up to ME to make sure they are not allowed out without being spayed which I failed on both accounts!!!
