Shadow and the kittens

I'm not even sure where I'm going with this one. I think I'm just up too late and so it is ramble babble time. My cat has found this new found hobby of walking around and meowing out of the back of her throat. That sounds beautiful to most cat lovers or even cute to the average on looker but it is actually annoying to hear. She is talking to her kittens constantly. I have no idea in the world what it is that she feels the need to say that she cannot stop saying, but its always there. Shadow has also found a need to be near me again. I say again. I made her live outside for a while. I got sick of her litter box and the fact that she would not stop getting on things, so I put her out for a few months. I just recently let her back into the house. Apparently- she feels like we should be around each other all the time. I do not mind this but I do not understand. I am not a cat, she is not a human. I do not take in activities with the cats like most pet owners. In fact as much of a cat lover as I am, I have never done much with them. I usually just let them do their own thing. None of Shadow's kittens look anything like her. This is completely strange to me, because she is a Tonkinese cat. Shadow is not a full blood Tonk but she has the markings there of. The way you get a Tonkinese kitten is when you let a female Burmese and a male Siamese cat mate. The kitten will take the females bone structure but the males coat. The odd thing is with cats who look Tonk or who are- no matter how they mate, usually they have all or at least one Tonkinese kitten. Shadow had a few spotted kittens and then some grey kittens. I am still lost on that. If I had not been in the house when she gave birth to them, I would have not been sure they were her litter. They are adorable and will all be sent off into the world to do evil to someone else's couch someday. I'm just saying.
