More Kittens?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but it would appear that we are going to be blessed with another litter of kittens in the future.  Miss Mabel is looking plumper than usual and her nipples are starting to stick out.  I had noticed nipple issues with her over the last few months, but that's because NetherQuartz started nursing on Mabel after his mom left.  This time all of her teats are showing, not just the two NetherQuartz prefers.  I also (wrongly) thought that a nursing cat would not get pregnant.  This is a pleasant surprise.  Floki (her previous kitten) will be a year old next month, so we were hoping for kittens this year anyway.  Updates to come of course.

In sad news, we lost our new bunny Cookie last night.  There are tracks all around the cage, and it looks like a critter tried to get at her.  I don't know how to prevent it from happening again.  This week during the warmer days I'm going to see about the possibility of moving a fence panel across part of the bunny barn walk way, but if it was a cat or a determined dog, it won't stop them.  Given the size of the tracks, I suspect it's the same neighbor dog that killed one of our does last spring.  If I catch it in my yard harassing my bunnies, he's going to be taking a trip to the local pound.  We have a leash law in town here, and if he's attacking my rabbits, he's clearly not being contained properly.
