They're here :)

Beetle was a little star last night, following a very straightforward labour yesterday, she had her 1st kitten at 11:10pm and a further 5 followed in fairly quick succession, the last one making his appearance at 12:40am. She surprised us by having 6, although she was obviously pregnant she really didn't look that big. Anyway, they are all lovely strong kittens and both they and Beetle are a big contented family. At first glance we have 3 girls,  black/white, dark tabby/white, chocolate and 3 boys, spotty tabby/white, blue and blue and white. I have only taken a quick shot of them this morning whilst Beetle was 'powdering her nose', I will take some proper photos over the next few days 

Whoopi has recently started agility training, whilst, due to her disabilities following her accident as a pup, she will never reach competition level, she is thoroughly enjoying the lessons and they should help with her body awareness.
