    Oh my goodness what a sad story. Just terrible that it was made even worse by someone's cruel remarks. As a breeder (if that is even true) she should know better. I know from your many posts here and elsewhere that you adore your cats and will do anything for them. As the kittens came early - and it was a large litter - I am sure it was nature taking its course, tragically, and I know that doesn't make it any less heartbreaking. I've often thought that it must take an awful lot of patience, love, care and nerve, to be a good breeder and I am certainly not cut out for it! But thank goodness some people are and I hope you will continue with your work.

    Amber Miracle is simply gorgeous x

    To be perfectly honest Howlinbob, If Amber hadn't survived and if Buffy's litter hadn't come along i'm pretty sure I would have called it a day. Being so focussed on making sure Buffy's kids and Amber are all ok really has really helped me deal with it. Plus all the amazing words of encouragement in this thread has eased the self-doubt I was experiencing.
    I am fairly certain if anything like that does happen again, I'm am going to end up with 15 neutered housekitties, Once is bad enough, twice doesn't even bear thinking about.

    Oh and I'm spending waaaay too much time with Amber, she even looks at me when I call her now and she's not even 3 weeks old...scary!! x

    Lovely to see a photo of your special little girl. And looking forward to seeing more as she grows and develops. And fingers crossed you will never have to go through such a horrible time again x

    Had a very busy week and just read up on this now...
    Mick, Im am so sorry for you and for mum Saffi. Don’t let the unpleasantness on FB get you down… there will always be saddos who don’t think before they talk - that's because they aren’t capable of thinking at all.
    Fortunately you have your Amber Miracle girl and Buffy’s cuties to cheer you up. Looking forward to lots of updates about them.
