Today is the due date for our little Rhiann. She runs a couple of days late most of the time, but, we've put our web cam up and it is supplying live feed video of her queening pan.

I know it works well with internet explorer, not sure about Netscape. I also think that the more people who connect the "live" portion probably wont be as fast, but im not sure about that either.

Anyway, Have a look and you might get to see her litter born.

I've been watching on & off for the past hour! She seems a bit restless...maybe the time is near?
It's so exciting to watch...can't wait to see those new beautiful babies!

We stayed up until 11 last night watching her, and though she's close, she wasn't going to have them last night. So Debby, when you checked last night, the lights were off for the night

She is somewhat Tiny, When she's not pregnant, she weighs about 6.5 pounds. Munchkins aren't large cats, they should weight between 6 and 9 pounds full grown.
Rhiann is known to draw the whole birthing process out, and keep us on our toes for 3 to 4 days. We are hoping she has them this weekend, but who knows, she may make us wait until Monday or Tuesday

Debby,

What time did you look? It's possible we put them to bed.. ie. turned the lights off in the cattery.

Also, what browser are you using?

And yet again, because I run a network at home, I use a router, which means that the good folks at SBC change the IP nuber to my router about ever 24 hours, so I have to manually change that number in the code on the kitten page and then upload it again to make sure it is still streaming....

Probably the light were off though.

Ken, that would explain why I got a red X about an hour ago...I was going to tell you about it, but I figured you were fixing it. Looks great though...even my Mom is checking it out!
We know nothing about birthing babies, but the excitement of it all is driving us crazy!
LOL!

She looks like she will be glad to have that weight drop off. I hope she delivers soon!

She is getting close
No contractions yet, but heavy breathing and she is getting restless. I think Ken and I will be up tonight waiting.
She's always been one of those kittys who likes us with her.

we both keep petting her, and checking to see if we can feel the placement of the kittens. They are moving down, I felt one fairly low down, so we'll see. Plus she keeps getting upo to use the litter box but she'll jump in and then turn circles for a bit and get back in the birthing pan.

on another note, it doesn't seem that streaming video is using all that much bandwith, so I think I'll leave it up even after the kittens are born...

Thanks for watching guys, we thought it would be kewl for people to see the process and the birth, who aren't normally exposed to it, well.... anyone for that matter. We have quite a few people who have purchased one or more of our munchkins that are watching this as well.

The other exciting part is that we have no idea how many munchkin will be in this litter. It's always a surprise.

The waiting IS THE WORST!!!!!!!
