My Cat Libby

Libby Mae, my 10-month-old calico cat, had kittens of her own on June 21, 2010. The daddy is Louie, my orange cat. There are 2 grey and 3 orange. Libby originally gave birth up in the insulation of our barn. It was hot and dangerous up there, so my dad moved them down to the ground. Libby moved them back up there, so my brother and I moved them back down again. (Don't tell my dad, he doesn't know, haha) Finally, Libby was okay with the nice little box we made for her. Until a couple days ago, when they disappeared again. They weren't were they usually were. We weren't sure if Libby moved them again but somewhere else, or if an animal had gotten to them. :( We could hear them meowing somewhere in the barn; we just couldn't find them. Finally, Alli (my sister) told me that she and Eric (my brother) could hear them meowing by one of the corners. Turns out, the Libby had moved the kittens to the opposite corner of where she normally took them! Alli helped me take them back down to their normal box. While doing so, we could tell that Libby was not happy about it. She kept meowing and looking sad. When she thought that we had left, I noticed that she started taking them back up! I went back inside and told her no, and put Meowie (one of the grey ones) back in the box. Libby agreed to the box and hasn't moved them since we found them this morning. I hope Libby doesn't move them again... :-
