Congratulations! So glad to hear the babies are healthy after the scare with the fire.


I've heard that it's extremely difficult to express milk from a cat. (Can't say I ever tried). If the babies appear satisfied, sleeping after they feed, I wouldn't worry. If you have a postal scale or kitchen scale , you can weigh them. They should be gaining a few grams every day.

Is Guardian the daddy? I hope he is fixed now, b/c he can get her pregnant again right away!

BTW - nice Mom's Day gift!

Congrats on the Mother's Day kittens. I had never heard of a Daddy cat eating a placenta maybe he saw Cali eating one and decided to share in the duties lol.

Awww!!!
Its a baby Cali and a baby Guardien! And Then the lone black one...
Wow, Guardien really seems to love Cali, being there with her and everything
, those that is slightly odd that he'd eat the placenta...

I'm glad everything went alright after all that waiting
And I'm glad that it wasn't really 12 kittens

Congrats!
