Will the royal baby be a boy or a girl? That is the question on everyone's lips and Battersea Dogs and Cats Home is no exception to the whispers.
Influx: Warmer months mean more kittens at Battersea
As the cattery awaits the new addition to the royal family, a prediction based on the amount of male and female kittens has determined the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to welcome a boy.
The prediction is based on the fact 60 per cent of Battersea's arrivals this year have been male.
The Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth at a time when the home is inundated with kittens and pregnant mothers, due to warmer weather and the site becomes a cat-themed Lindo Wing, named after the maternity wing at St Mary's Hospital where the royal baby will arrive.
Lindsey Quinlan, head of cattery at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, said: "We’ve had a long association with the royal family and excitement is building here at Battersea about the second royal baby.
"We can’t wait to find out if her baby will be a boy or a girl - our kittens are certainly waiting for their own royal seal of approval.
"We care for hundreds of kittens, especially over the warmer months, so it will be nice to celebrate the birth with our own new arrivals."
