Yet another dreadful day as the last of my Gumnuts has now left me. Cuddlepie had an extended stay with us which was really lovely as we had an extra few weeks of cuddles with her but she has now gone to share her home with Samantha, Dean and their other fur children. We're really going to miss Cuddlepie as she just slotted in with the rest of our cats as if she was one of the family and it has been very difficult to remember that she wasn't actually with us permanently. I do know though that she will be very happy in her new home and will be well looked after and loved which is all any breeder can ask. I do think that Sambuca and Drambuie are desperately going to miss little Cuddlepie because since Banksia left, both girls had "adopted" Cuddlepie as their own. They slept with her, played with her, they let her chew on their ears and tails and acted as if she was their own little baby.

I guess this means we've now come to the end of yet another Schimmel kitten diary and I'd like to thank each of our new kitten families for agreeing to share their lives with our little Gumnuts. I'd also like to thank our vet, Andy Garton, and everyone who has been following our Gumnuts' kitten diary. I can actually say that this litter has been the easiest that we have had, the babies have been an absolute joy and a delight. I must admit though that I am looking forward to a short spell of having no kittens in the house and it will be nice to just get back to normal for a while. Having said that, I'm fully expecting to be uploading one, maybe two new Pregnancy Diaries within the next couple of weeks as 2 of our queens have very recently been mated.
