B6 The Acton Free Wed Mey31 1978 I I 9 J by Wendy Thornton It spring And the potential patter of little feet is once again a big thing in our household No it another Easter rabbit although I did get a bit of a Jolt recently when I opened the back door and found two large rabbits calmly finishing off the dogs food the bedroom cupboard Patty cat was way in the back of the shelf holding bath towels and sheets studiously re Ingthemtosult Evidently suit for her next stop after a three clock hello on our bed promptly accused my husband of bringing in some spring entertainment but It out the bunnies were just passing through But that night were awakened the distinctive sound nest in was In son Jim room He doesn mind a bit of purring and will often wake up long enough to give a cat a few pats on the head but Patty figured someone Jim should wake up and tell her what was going on Barring that she wanted to crawl under the covers and make her nest in there Needless to say she was ejected She then decided to give up the idea of having kittens and settled down on our bed for a sleep This suited me fine as the day was a busy one for me I was photographing a wedding a to be up early Seven clock I bounced out of bed grabbed a quick break fast then stuck my head in the Something was wrong Just as I reached for the taps a soft purring close to my ear made me twist around and look upside down Patty sitting In the sink beside my head I removed her once And twice Both times she was back in the sink faster than I could get bent back over with the water on Finally I shut her in the bathroom promising I d fin my hair in there And the whole time I was rolling rollers she lay on the sink top purring Her rotund belly sticking out each side kept giving heaves and kicks and she turned around to glare at it now and then With hair done I started in on my camera case taking everything out and loading it back up with flashes films cameras Cat Yes there she was again trying the Impossible feat of fitting her bulk into a six Inch square compartment shedding liberal amounts cat hair over everything I took her out put her in bed first with David and then with Jim Although she was viously getting close to time she t stay and came back into the kit uttering plaintive mewi with each step This time Patty headed foi Miss Kitty who had jusl awakened and was cleaning her face In the middle of the floor Grabbing Kitty by car Pattytriedtodragherou of the room presumably toad as midwife Kitty objected To keep peace in the family I took pity on Potty and went back to bed taking her with me We lay talking for an hour with no signs of a birth being imminent I drowsily rubbed her stomach mc at the wedding with an extremely pregnant cat behind However with a very surprised look Patty finally went into labor I carefully lilted her into the box I pre pared and knowing shed follow if I left sat and rubbed her back till the first kitten was born With a look that obviously dismissed me Patty set to work on the new arrival cleaning him from end to end rolling him over and over in spite of vigorous squawking on his part And dismissed I was left to go back to my own workstarting with cleaning all the cat hair out of my camera case Reunion The ladies fair board is planning a reunion for Satur July Obituary Frances Hurst dies in Aurora Frances Beatrice Hunt a
