Barn cat #2 has four babies!

This picture shows their colors a bit better (above).



Here is proud Mommy Sapphire with her brand new 4 baby kittens. One orange, two tan colored, and one almost the same gray colors as mom. They were born some time today. Since she was trying to squish Aurora's babies yesterday we had to put her back in the barn last night. Today she gave birth in a box that was in one of the barns. Since we did not see the birthing of the babies, we do not know the order in which they were born. The kids are excited, however we have to separate the two mom's. Aurora continuously tries to get into Sapphires box. It's snowing out and too cold for them all to survive outside.
