Above and below: Proud mom Nina with her three new kittens, born early morning on 1st April 2002.
"The first one which was white came at 1.10am, the second (another white one) came at 1.40am and the third one (the one with the rusty marks) arrived just before 2am. We were with her throughout the whole thing, which started at about 9pm the previous evening. She was absolutely brilliant as soon as the first one arrived, and cleaned it and rubbed it. Mother instinct took over. And up until now she has not been out of the box, which I put in my wardrobe in the bedroom. She only stood up to get some food out of her bowl. It's so beautiful, and the kitten are so small, but so perfect. I can sit for ages and just watch all four of them. Our Jordan has not been very interested by it all (perhaps it's because he is nearly eleven). He only once walked part the box, and Nina had a go at him." - Marjan
"Temporary names, so far they are called One Two and Three. Both the white ones have homes to go to and the ginger spot one is already at home, as we keep him/her. Nina had a bite to eat out of Jordan's bowl, so I could take a picture of the trio on their own." - Marjan
