Is this common when there is one obviously larger and more advanced kitten? This nearly 3 week old is already running and pouncing, sitting, cleaning itself, climbing out of its nest box and exploring and beating the crap out of the other ones. The others are fairly normal, one is a bit behind...

Well, she gave birth... to a gargantuan turd :D Oncw she eliminated there were no more contractions to speak of... I guess one Interrupted labour was enough. Thank goodness I can finally relax... as can Missy ;) Thanks for the advice!

I have a feeling I'm in good company ;) We have two of our own, and for a long time have been somewhat of a halfway house for strays and ferals on their way to the local no-kill shelter. Well, my kids have been begging me to foster a pregnant cat for a long time, so we finally broke down and...

The boxes in the back are "cat boxes" my kids made and decorated....lol... don't worry, her nesting boxes are much nicer. Lol!

Here's a pic of little Miss...love this cat
