She had two when I woke up and she just had another. She's still kind of big so I think maybe two more maybe?

She had another one and this one looks just like her. it seems like she's still pushing so maybe one more? I'll post pics when she's done with all of them

If she allows you, you can surely clean her, a little at least.  

If you dont have better propositions, use a teaspoon (=grams) kitchen salt in a litre water... Boil, let  cool down to cat body temp...  Useful for washing off scratches, etc, in both cats and humans.

You do have a kitchen scale (in grams?) to weigh them small every day?

Good luck!

There are 5 in total. I haven't been able to see them much. She doesn't like it when I hold them. I don't know how many male.or female either. I'll post separate pics of them a little later :) one is white with black spots, one grey with white markings, and the other 3 fade from dark grey.from the top to light grey towards the bottom. Idk.if they'll stay like that or if they will changd

I don't have a kitchen scale only one to weigh humans. Where can I get one of those?

In USA for example at Walmart, or any shops who sells more than just food.  So to speak. Warehouse is the correct word?  Or bigger food shops usually also have them too somewhere.

You dont need anything fancy or costly. Good if they are electronic, but not necessary.  Best if they weigh in grammes, easiest to see the results.

You can alternatively probably borrow one from some neigbour. Go or phone around, tell your need and ask...  They must have a really good reason to refuse!

Weighting every day is important.  If everything goes well, you do have a nice memory.  If anything is not so well, it will usually be the easiest way to notice it early.

Weigting isnt difficult. You have the scale near the nest, so the mom sees you and the scale. You take them kittens one and one, and quickly weigh them, so the mom sees they are still very near.

Less than a half minutes apiece if you are slow.
