I was for Ricochet, Jinxy, Cassidy, & Chiquita.
All the other cats I've ever had, no. But I have had most of them since they were kittens.

How sweet that you got to see some of your kitties as newborns. I got Penny at around 6.5 weeks and Daisy around 5 weeks but I bet they were adorable little darlings

No I didn't get to see mine born.
Lynxx
was 8 weeks old. Luna was 12 weeks old. Midnight was 3 weeks old. I did have a friend in high school who's cat had kittens, but they were older when I saw them.

I saw all of my Wirehairs just hours after being delivered (they were all born via c-section.) I never in a million years thought any of them would eventually be mine. Wish I'd taken some photos!

The pix aren't the best b/c I didn't have my digital camera at the time.
How I wish I would have! The videos would have been priceless!


Witnessing their birth is one of my most precious memories!

Where my cats are
No but my RB girl Glory was still very new when I met her. Her Mama was a cousin's cat that we went to spend a weekend with. She was the only stripped one in the litter. I think I spent most of the weekend talking to the Mama and looking at them. Glory was my kitty soul-mate.

Yes, I was. Jesse went into labor a couple hours before I had to go to work so I helped her a bit. I donned on some gloves and held the kittens right after they were born. Sometimes I think that is why they all follow me around. I was such a miracle to see those little tiny creatures grow into adult cats.

I had to bottle feed Meatloaf since she was the runt. She still sleeps on my pillow like she did when she was a tiny kitten.

Here is Aberdeen before she could walk:

Two years ago next Saturday, the feral cat Slick had her babies. Some feral, she tamed down immediately and has been an absolutely wonderful mom and friend.

I took so many pics and videos of them. I had never had kittens born here. And I enjoyed every single minute of it. It is good for you to love on kittens. Takes away the world for a little bit. There were 3 girls and 3 boys. I found homes for 4 and kept mom and Fetch and Beeshee Marie. Three of the sweetest kitties I ever had.

I always get the urge to play soccer when I look at the pics.

It makes me want to go out and rescue another pregnant stray!

I was present for the birth of my Elmo, Brie, Mushroom and Demon. I saw Sophie hours after her birth. And didn't see Flutterby or Gypsy until they were months old.
