Ali first started acting funny around 11pm Saturday evening... She was pacing and meowing...

2:51 am First baby which was the black kitten was born.

3:28 am Orange kitten was born

4:09 am Tabby kitten was born

then labor totally stopped, altho I knew she still had kittens in her....

Labor started again at 10:07pm, 18 HOURS after the last kitten was born...

10:30 pm White kitten was born

11:32 pm 2nd white kit was born... This kitten had some issues, was born breach, and had problems breathing.. I helped her out with it, and it is a healthy nursing kitten!

The 5 babers.


Ali and her babers


Ali cuddling with them


I thought when the last one was born that I felt another baby... Maybe I was wrong... Maybe it wasn't another baby... I have petted her quite a bit today and I don't feel anything.

Am I seeing things, or does one of those white ones have yellow shading?

White babies, White babies!

Ok, sorry. I love white babies. But yeah, that one is probably a dilute red (I don't think you'd see the color this early with a color point.) And how cute are they? Congrats!

Yeah, I just looked again at the kits really close. The one that looked like it had yellow on the back end, does NOT. It must have been a little dirty yet with blood and such, it is all white now. The other white is more "dirty cream" looking. My best friend's pointed kittens didn't actually show any points til a few weeks old. They looked like just white kits, so I'm thinking for sure they will end up with some pointing, as the father is a seal point, and DARK for that matter.

Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying these kits.... I can't wait til they are running around!

Oh, hubby and I also played a little guessing game sexing them... we think thus far we have 3 girls and 2 boys... the boys being the orange and one of the white's

I'm so happy for you. I'm impressed by your patience and it didn't seem like you freaked out about much. Amazing job you and Ali did. The kittens are all perfect and look big and healthy. Congratulations!!!

Thanks! I guess that's what happens when you have been married 13 years and have 3 kids! I've had just been reading alot and talking to the vet, and she said 24 hours, so I was not stressing until I crossed that bridge. Thanks so much. I'm so impressed with Ali. Being she is young, I figured we would have more issues.... or her not really know what to do. She has been GREAT. I couldn't ask for more in a mommy. =o)

How adorable. Love all the different colors.

I thought Goldy felt like she had another kitten in her, too, but it turned out that it was just the enlarged uterus. It started shrinking down pretty quickly.

I am a photographer... It is still a little difficult, as there is no backgrounds... and the babies are moving quite a bit and I'm shooting with no flash. I can't wait til' they are a bit larger and I can get some great shots of them. Murphy's litter was SOOOOOOOo fun to take pictures of. I really got some great shots of them little guys... I should post some of my cat photography. I really have alot of fun with it. Thanks for the compliment!

No wonder! I was gonna say, they look just like ones you'd see in a magazine!
They're sooooo cute! I love the colours! I wonder what colour the daddy was...
Have you thought of names?

The father is a Seal point Siamese. The kittens are just beautiful... it will certainly be a hard thing to get rid of any of them.. but we are just keeping one. We only have ONE name picked out, and it's for the dirty looking white one. It's name is Blue (as I'm a huggeee Blue October fan)

Ohhh, sorry about that...I forgot that you owned the father...hmmm...I'm curious how they got a ginger kitten..I suppose it's to do with the further back genetics.
Are some of your cats the kittens from Murphy's litter? Wow...you have a lot of cats... lucky you...where I live you can only have two cats(not including kittens).
Ali looks like a wonderful, proud mom...you can see it on her face in the pics...

The black cat is one of Murphy's kittens.

All we have right now in the house is the black cat, The siamese, the tuxedo cat and Ali and her kits. Murphy had to be put to sleep in September due to prolapsed rectum... after it kept happening after surgeries. We still miss her.

Well, Ali carries both red and black genes, since she's a torbie (as far as I can tell.) So the male has just one x chromosome, and it carries the red. I'm guessing that the black is also male. Babies are VERRRRY cute!

Congrats on the babies though! They're adorable!

Yes, they are 4 days old today! I'm noticing on the white ones, that the tips of their ears are starting to get a dark grey around them... sooo their tips are just starting to ever so slightly come in! I can't wait til they are all runnin around.

Aw, I know...one day you can't wait for them to be born, then the next they're gone! It goes by so fast! I love it whe they start to run around and play...they're adorable!And they've probably nearly doubled in size! It's incredible how fast they grow.
Hmm, maybe your white guys will end up looking like their daddy.
