Skyler was born very early one morning, on a nice warm spring day. The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Mommakitty''s face seemed to beam with happiness, as she looked down into the tiny, furry faces of her new-born kittens.
Mommakitty was starting to purr. People say a cat is happy when it purrs.

Mommakitty knew there were many happy days ahead; for her, and for all her new kittens.
She also knew she had a wonderful surprise to share; six tiny, furry new kittens to follow her on all the warm summer days that would come.
Mommakitty closed her eyes, and purred, and purred, and purred. In no time at all, Mommakitty was asleep.
