Sorry Guys.

Went in this morning and the kitten fairy had been in the night and left a black kitten :naughty:

So... crispie , snack , crackle and pop may need new names - unless you can think of one to add to the list?
Mum and 4 :Crazy: kittens doing well - just scived off work to see if anything else happens. phoned up vets who say don't panic as long as mum and kits seem ok - so won't - or not too much :rofl:

Mum cat ate like crazy all day yesterday, then stopped eating in the evening followed by a poo. Followed by another poo for England (good I thought, Thats the fatness explained and indeed she did go to almost normal size).

Oh well, I supppose each litter needs a black one :Luv2:

Aww, bless her. She might not have any more kittens, it might just be cos her uterus is big from carrying, it isn't that common to have them apart. Aww, they are gorgeous- I also had my first experience of labour and newborns this year, I couldnt believe the mess!!
Please spay your cat

 :1st place: Mum cat on your beautiful (haven't seen them but I'm sure they are!) babies  ;D  It's great news that you had space to take her in Angie, I'm always amazed at how many times networking from Purrs can help cats that otherwise would have had a very bleak outlook  :( Looking forwrad to pics of the babies when they're a bit bigger Angie  :poke:

Thought I'd just do an update on this thread.
Still only 3 kittens this morning.
Mum and kittens are all doing well. Mum is eating and enjoying being fussed and has gone for a wee though nothing else yet.
She's still quite large in her ribcage area but as she's in no stress at the moment I'll leave things until tomorrow and see what our normal vet says.

I have read that they can have two batches a few days apart due to different matings.

There does not seem to be any wriggling going on so it may just be the insides need to shrink again - or of course it may be a host of other non-kitten related things going on!

Oh Angie how wonderful  :hug: apart from the  :sick: bits  :evillaugh:

How are Mum and babies today? and how are you? did you get any sleep?

Can't wait to see the pics ...... although I shouldn't be looking as I love the thought of B&W kittens  :evillaugh:

Wow!  :Crazy:

What an amazing experience - despite the  :sick:!

I don't know what I would have done in the same situation - I think that I would have been a bit worried that I wasn't doing the *right* thing and would have been torn between staying there 'just in case' and wanting to be googling for the answers!

But I guess that Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has proved that once again the animal world copes quite capably. . . . .

Congratulations!   :Luv:

Are you choosing names?! We look forward to photos!

Been working in London today, got back at 5pm and caught up wih my phone calls. At 7 pm get a phone call to inform me that a couple have just taken a heavily pregnant cat in to their flat. She has been hanging around the flats for 3 weeks and no one seems to own her.

I , now having space and hoping to pick up the stray tortie tomorrow, take her home and god! does she make all sorts of noises in the car.

I took her up to the foster room , open the top of the pen and she has just given birth to a kitten and is starting to remove the sack.  :sick: followed by the slice of liver called the afterbirth  :sick: :sick:

Have my now cold tea (yep the Macaroni chees and kitten poo conversation) go back upstairs and theres another one wriggling around. 1 hour later a third pops out and at the moment that is the total. Mum cat has eaten and been dozing and is quite friendly and chilled about the whole thing - which is more than me - never been present at a birth before and if I thought the after birth was  :sick: :sick: I reckon the chewing on the placenta thing is  :sick: :sick: :sick:

wonder if that its now - will see in the morning!
Mummy is grey and white, first baby black and white, second grey tabby and thirs white with a few little black patches.

So once again my thanks to Jasmine, Chris and Purrs 'cos if the three cats had come here I would have really struggled to help this one out!!
All these little lives helped by the co-operation of the local rescues.

I might even get to bed soon (after my cigar  ;D).

OH was there when I brought her in , I think he came to tell me that supper was burning but was quite mesmerised by watching the first kitten being seen to. :Luv2:
