After the second attempt, Corrie had a litter of 18 kittens on the morning of 5 September 2004. I hadn't expected a huge litter as she didn't seem to have put on a large amount of weight, so it was a bit of a surprise to see so many babies. Sixteen lived, and after a few days we fostered four of the agoutis out to Mor, to even things up a bit as a doe can only feed twelve kittens at a time. The kittens are agouti and black. Corrie is an excellent mum and it looking after them all very well, and she is happy to let me handle them every day.
