Oh dear. what do i do?

Hold her in place until she finds it. Continue holding until she's firmly latched on! She needs to suckle soon as it will help not only her, but also mom cat because suckling releases the endorphins that makes further deliveries easier!

OK i finally got her to grab on. WHEW!

Thanks for everything. I don't wnt to keep you.

EDIt: crud, i get her latched and the contractions start again

I'm actually reading a book while refreshing pages on the puter... I'll be around for a while yet, don't worry!

baby 2! another white one. I think the colors will probably change though. i see people say that all the time.

Mom went right to work on this one cleaning it. So i think the rest should be smooth.

The fact that she sought out a birthing place that smelled like you, and wants you nearby, says a lot about both her and you.

Do you have any kind of non-toxic marker on you? If you think you're going to get confused between the kittens, use the marker (when the kittens are dry of course) and color in one nail of the front or back paw, say the left one. Then color the same nail on the right paw. That way you can determine #1,2 you get my drift!

I can't wait to see these grow into little balls of mischeivous fluff!

whoa they're coming fast now. 3 is coming!

good idea on the markers. i'll use a highlighter maybe

she definitely did that I don't think it was hard to tell that I have unconditional love for her though.

I have a feeling this little girl might stay with you all?

nah, I'll be ok to let her go to a good home. The kittens might be tough thought.

What a great thing to come and read during a busy work morning! I hope everything is still going well? It sounds like you are doing a great job!!!

I can't wait to see momma and her new babies.

Interesting how she burrowed back into the covers.

Now...can you imagine this happening under a woodpile, in someone's shed, under a house, etc.?

yeah it makes me sad to think of cats going through this outside with bugs and predators all over

this one was heavier 3.7 oz male

as for the covers. she only wants to be partially covered. i tried numerous times to get her all the way in but shed come out like that pic. I think she gets scared if she can't see me

Any sign of #3 yet?

well, there's abubble sticking out but it's been that way for about 30 minutes.

hrrm. this bubble looks clear though. Could that be the end?it doesn't look like there's anything in it

EDIT: nah, I just checked I can feel two more in there. one on each side.

OMG, is that not sweet or what!! Awwww
