Today we started to fix the bedroom at the groundfloor because we will have  mother and kittens there the first couple of weeks - if Wen, Faffa and Mischa wants to stay there. We have used this room for some of our cats, especially our girls when they are in heat. Joker has also been in there for some days, but he does not like to be separeted from the group and he has destroyed some of the flooring    Since there was another flooring under it, we just removed the top-flooring. And suddenly I got an idea   The storage-room where all the litterboxes are placed did not have any flooring, and we started to empty this room after we have cleared the bedroom. And in no time the storage-room had a flooring! It is much easier to clean the floor now, and maybe next week we will be able to put up some shelves as well! When they are in place we will put all the stuff that we have for the cats in this storage-room, like cages, bags, things we use when we are attending cat shows and so on. It will be rather nice to have it all in one place!

As you can see we managed to find place for the wooden pellets we use in the litterboxes. We have made a hole in the door and put a cat-door in there so we can close the door to this room and the cats still can go in there to do what ever they does in their litterboxes   

I hope that we will find time to paint the bedroom downstairs before Wen deliver her babies. Now it is painted i a strong blue colour, and it is not so nice. I do want a light colour on the walls, because then we will have a better possibility to take photos of cats and kittens. Now it is quite dark in the room and the colours of the cats are rather bluish because of the blue colour on the walls. I am really looking forward to finish this room for our girls! It will be a new experience to have the mothers and their litter in a separate room, our first 6 litters are born in our livingroom and they grow up there as well. Some of our cats love to be with the kittens from the very first day, Joker especially.

This is what we love to see:

We like that all our cats can participate in raising the kittens, but now we will try to have the litter in a separate room with their mam the first weeks as I wrote earlier. The only reason that we will try this is because "everybody" tells us that it is better for the mam and her babies to have their own room, both other breeders and the veterinarians. And we can´t say that this is better or worse if we do not try it.
