'Mazel Tov ~an amazing calico mama cat~~

Close to ten years ago during a time when kelsea&bria were very into the musical 'Fiddler on the Roof'~Bria found a suffering kitten who had fallen into an old woodstove in our barn. The luck of the tiny calico kitten became her namesake in Hebrew/Yiddish ~'Mazel Tov' translated 'good luck has occurred'. We often hum ~a blessing on your head~mazel tov. mazel tov.~ while feeding Mazel. Mazel has been a loyal mama to probably close to fifteen litters of kittens. Most of the kittens have gone to our local farm store and have been sold. She is one of those MamaCats who always gets male visitors while she is still nursing and the window to spay her is very narrow. Tonight, during this NorthEastern Mazel delivered what John is calling 'her final litter of kittens'. He has vowed to keep her in solitary confinement until she is spayed. I say 'good luck with that! mazel tov!' Mazel has never been stronger and healthier. She has caught herself a mouse everyday of her pregnancy and somehow convinced me she should have a fresh brown farm egg each and every morning. Enjoy the pictorial journey below~Four orange babies. Three dark calicos. Mazel Tov, of course your last litter is seven kittens~seven in Hebrew? completion. A lil' bundle of autumn, 2 daysold~
