black cat bad luck?

If you read my blog, you know how much I enjoyed the little kittens that a stray cat, who came to visit this winter, had in our garage this past summer.  
I so enjoyed watching these two kitties play all summer!  
We named them Fluffy Cat and Scaredy Cat. (for obvious reasons)
They are "teenagers" now!

We wanted to to get mamma fixed, but as soon as she had those kitties she got pregnant .....AGAIN!!!

This time, she had her babies the day we were leaving for vacation.  
We watched in amazement as she popped out four kittens but then had to leave to get on the road.  
She has been nursing them and moving them around the barn for the past few weeks.  
It wasn't until yesterday that we discovered that it wasn't four kittens she had that afternoon... but SEVEN! 
So now we have TEN black kitties!  I sure hope they don't bring us bad luck, because needless to say, having TEN kitties, they are crossing our paths every minute!
My niece just became a vet and she has agreed to give a "group price" on getting everyone fixed once they are ready!
