Oh dear, I see that look in your eye. The way you are staring at me so intently tells me there is something you're waiting for. Is it the next part of And Then There Were Seven? I am hoping it is that, rather than you simply lusting after my Crunch bar, both for your sake and my own (because you are NOT getting my Crunch bar; you are, however, about to read the next installment of And Then There Were Seven, assuming you stick around to the end).

Carmen loved her new surroundings and friends, explored a lot, and was fed quite well by the librarians. After the first month of having her, she had gained some weight (though she was so little when we got her, it wasn't terribly apparent). It was also noted that she was becoming increasingly anti-social, preferring to spend most of her time lying on the floor behind the circulation desk. Upon notice of these developments, Carmen was escorted to the vet, who informed us that she was pregnant.
I know not how long the librarians knew before informing me, but the news of Carmen's pending family was brought before me on April 1st, of all days. Naturally, I didn't believe anyone- until I put my hand on the cat's belly and felt one of the babies kick. After that, I decided I was allowed to be excited and tell other people. Eleven days later, on the 12th of April, Carmen gave birth to six adorable kittens.
Carmen and her kittens: Lor, Luna, Rascal, Arnold, Mikey, and Dudley.
So little! Our Children's Librarian holding Rascal (don't worry, she didn't squeeze him to death!).
