Any ideas when my pregnant cat is due? - Page 2

4th baby!!!

5th baby just born.. i think the last!

they are all doing great.. omg she was such a trooper i am so proud of her. they all look very strong and healthy! i'm on such a high!

It was clean litter thankfully.. She delivered all but one in there! She just delivered her 6th, I think for sure that is the last. 3 black and white, 1 tabby, 1 white and black and 1 pure black! will get pics up tomorrow i am exhausted it is 2am lol.. going to wait with her a while to check she is ok etc before i go to bed though.

Here are some photo's of Sarah and her 6 beautiful babies....















Sarah is doing great... she has been up and eaten, layed around with me away from her kittens etc.. at one point she started following me again and I wondered if she was going to surprise me with another baby lol. I think she just wants me really close to her, this may sound strange but we really bonded last night it was the sweetest experience of my life. For about an hour she lay on her back cuddled into me and I stroked her tummy whilst she purred and licked me through her contractions. Then they started to come and she moved down to her bed/food/litter box corner. BUt still wanted me close, meowed if I stepped away for a second. OMG she was just amazing I love her so much. And she is suchhhh a good mummy and absolutely adores her new babies it is just the sweetest thing. She has allowed me to move them all into her bed/box from the litter tray - I just didn't think it was very warm for the kittens. She has allowed me to handle them and has let my 5yr old stroke them already... she is just amazing. so proud of her.

Thank you for your advice.

Unfortunately we lost one of the kittens today. It was the smallest of the litter and I think it just wasn't strong enough to fight for the milk - I had no idea they fight the way they do already. Survival of the fittest I guess. Anyway I noticed it was tiny so took Sarah aside and brought the tiny one to her to feed on its own and it just wouldn't, it was almost as if it didn't know what to do. I put its mouth next to the nipple and it just tried to climb up Sarah's body. In the basket it was crawling away from her, meowing loudly. I went to the pet shop and bought a kitten feeding kit, but when I got home it was almost dead. It took a few gasps but its chest was not moving. I worked on it a while but I could only get it to gasp every few mins so I just gave it back to Sarah and she licked it etc but when I got home from picking my son up from school, the kitten is stiff. How could it be fighting for life - meowing, crawling around etc then 2 hours later be gasping its last breaths? I am so upset I can't believe it - I have no idea how I got so attached to it after just 2 days. Poor little thing - it was the one I was considering keeping too cos it was just so cute and so sweet. I keep thinking if only I had tried to feed it earlier then it would be ok. I am finding it hard to come to terms with burrying it in the garden - "just in case" - but if it is stiff then it is definitely dead, right?
