Roxy is in labour!

Pretty kitties!

They are beautiful, and a very good size! Several people have felt what they thought was a kitten and it was the uterus. Just watch her for any foul smelling discharge. There will be a little blood, quarter sized drops here and there, for a few days.

Congratulations!! Healthy, beautiful babies!!!!

Roxy and the newbies are doing great. I'd really like to move her to a new box or just get her out of this one so I can change all the newspaper and stuff. I just put warm blankets into a box and put roxy and the kittens in there and she hated it and immediately picked them up and took them back in the original box she had them in!

So I guess she wants to stay in the box but it's gross. I could try and get all the used newspaper out but the cardboard on the bottom of them box has absorbed some fluid from the labour... What can i do? She just won't go in a new box! Is it unsafe to keep them in there even if all the bedding is clean?

ADVICE APPRECIATED!

Have you tried putting the new box in the exact spot as the old box and just throwing away the old box?

And they are absolutely adorable!!

I know, aren't they adorable! They're stripier than Roxy! and I found out today the black one has a white chin. too cute!

Anyway, I've come to the conclusion that it's just too early to move them. I've changed the bedding and Roxy is happy so I'm just gonna keep them in their. It's a great box, it has sides and a roof so I'd rather just keep them in there than move them and piss Roxy off and also possibly make them colder.

So it's not a perfect situation but they are on clean bedding and are nice and warm so that's all that matters to me right now.

More pics soon! Just wanna give Roxy some peace because she's had a hectic night.

They're beautiful! And the little b lack guy is absolutely gorgeous. (But then I am partial to black cats... ) As long as the bedding is clean I'm sure it'll be fine. When Twix had her kittens she stayed in the same crate the whole time, I just cleaned her bedding whenever it started to get dirty. If you're still worried about it you could always wait until the kits are a bit older and change them then.

I can't wait for the new pictures!!

I managed to get a couple more pics today. Not very good ones but I don't like to annoy Roxy too much. I also managed to weigh 3 of the 4 but one was buried under Roxy so I couldn't get to him/her and Roxy HATED me weighing them. I am happy to say their weights are remarkable! One is 200g and the lightest is the black one at 150g which isn't bad going considering they're only about 17 hours old! So happy.

Here's one of the tabbies:



Here they are having a drink:



Just for Cocoalily! Close up of little black one's face (wish you could see his/her little white chin!!):



So proud of my girl. I miss her clingy pregnant personality though. She has no time for cuddles now .

(Note to self: must not resent cute innocent kitties!)

Wow - nice kittens! What color is the father? And that's one heck of a nice looking mackeral tabby - no mistaken those markings!

I know! Roxy doesn't have those markings so it's quite a surprise! Well she is half stripey and half splodgey.

She mated with a very ropey black tom with a bit of white on him. It was an accidental preg. But these kittens are gorgeous! I'm so pleased.

Mom's a classic tabby. Dad might have had mackeral tabby in him even tho he was black

Actually her name is a funny story, we got her from a friend who already had a cat and got dill for her bday( we took them both..she moved home with her parents and couldnt keep them) Anyways...she named her orange cat Pickles....so when she got the kitten(dill) she names her Dill...Hence my name on here...DillPickles.....

Aww haha. Well you should know that he's also one cute Rugrats character!

What gorgeous kitties! So glad all is well, and mom and babies are healthy.
