Bear is almost everyone's favorite that I show the pics to lol. My friend loves him so she might be taking him in a few weeks. I love them all, they are so cute. Kittens this age are so much fun.
I know everyone here loves kitten pictures so here's some of Stripes' litter at nearly 8 weeks old. They are doing great. Litter-trained and eating kitten food and just so cute.

Froggy (she had splayed back legs for the first 6 weeks, and now she does a funny little hop...
Of my 4 kittens, the 1 boy is practically double the size of the 3 girls. Don't know how normal that is, but they all seem to be fine so I haven't worried about it.
I *think* we have 3 girls and 1 boy. I think the darkest one is a boy. Of course it's hard to tell when they are so little, but that's my guess I also already have a few friends interested in taking one in a few months so that's good. The local organization that does cheap spays/neuters will do...
Stripes went into labor around 11am this morning. Kitty #1 didn't come out until 2:15pm. Was getting worried by that point, but he came out fine and the first 3 were born in about 40 minutes, with #4 coming about an hour later. One grey and 3 black, all with some degree of lighter markings too...
Update- She went into actual labor about 11am today (I knew for sure because I saw a water bag come out and break. I was really worried for a bit because she labored 3hrs before the first kitten came, but then had 3 in about 40 mins and another about an hour after. So far I can't tell if there...
Well, guess I was wrong lol. After a few hours she stopped the panting and stuff and went back to just being very annoying in the middle of the night. She is acting fine, no discharge of any kind. I didn't realize cats could have false labor, but I've been reading more this morning and I guess...
Wellm I definitely think she's laboring now. Panting and heavy breathing and very uncomfortable, I think she's having contractions because her panting gets heavier every few minutes. She seems to like having me stay by her petting her head, every time I move away she comes over to me again. I...
I don't really have any experience with cat labor, because our other cat Stars that had kittens a few years ago didn't show any labor signs, I just woke up to 4 kittens one morning.
Tonight Stripes is acting very strange. She wants lots of attention, purring loudly and won't leave me alone when...
