My foster girl had kittens on January 22nd, 2013. On the 23rd, all kittens weighed between 5.2-5.8 ounces. Yesterday, they all weighed between 8.8-9.6 ounces. Today, they weighed between 12-13.2 ounces. This seems really big to me for kittens that are not even 4 days old yet. Mom fecal tested...

I waited three weeks for my foster girl to have her kittens - and I must say, I had no idea she was even in labor. About 2 hours before she had the kittens, her temperature was normal, she polished off 2 bowls of food, managed to jump her big belly in the window and play with the bugs on the...

 That's kind of cold. They were your cats too for awhile & to just write them off like that...I don't get it. My momma & kittens are doing well this morning. I had to kennel her with them as she was moving them into spots she could not get back to, and then would start to move them and forget...

I don't think she'll allow me to weigh them - she's started growling at me and hissing when I come too close to her box. At 7:45 AM, she had a 6th one, but it did not survive - it's intestines were outside it's body when I saw it. Placenta came out, and she allowed me to take it out of her box...

All placenta's present and accounted for. I don't think we have anymore in there, but she will not let me feel her belly. She's too busy protecting her brood. Labor went a lot more smoothly and a lot quicker than I had thought it was going to, much to my relief. She knew exactly what she was...

I do believe she's done at 5 babies. All babies are cleaned, fed and she is now sleeping - which means I can go to sleep!

Baby #5 was born at 5:06 AM (placenta of #4 was eaten prior)

Baby #4 was born at 4:36 AM (and placenta of #3 came out prior and was eaten)

Baby #3 was born at 4:17 AM, no placenta has come out yet

Baby #2 was born at 3:40AM - she ate the placenta as well
