I can't really tell from the pic, but unless there were 2 daddies, all the orange ones are boys and all the tortie ones are girls. Orange mama cats can only have orange male kittens, and their female kittens will be orange if the daddy is also orange, or tortie if the daddy is dark. Obviously the torties had a dark-colored daddy, so if there are any orange girls that means they have a different dad. But to keep things simple, until it's easier to tell, you can probably assume the orange ones are all boys :D.

Can you post another photo from behind?  With feet on the ground and tail raised?  That might help.

I want to say male but the pictures are still too pixel-y (at least on my phone :/) so I can't say for sure. Since you can get a nice clear look, females have a slit right under the anus, like a lowercase i. Males have more of a space between the anus and the genital opening, which is round, so kind of like : but with space in between for the testicles to grow.

Matilda is bleeding form her lady bits today. I herd that it's not normal and can be a sign of infection of the uterus. Sent a text to the rescue and they said it's normal...just to be sure I sent a text to my vet, he said to watch and see if the amount increases and if it does let him know. What do you guys think?

It's normal. Cats spot for 7-10 days after giving birth while their uterus heals. It should go from red to pink to brown, and then dry up and disappear.

Only if there is a great deal of fresh, red blood should you worry. If this happens she will need the vet asap, as that would be a possible hemorrhage or infection. Most cats heal nicely on their own. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I guess I'm worried because she hasn't had any until now and it's pretty bright. :/ But she is my baby and I'm good at being a worry wort.
I'll post a picture of what it looked like when we found it. I noticed because she was cleaning herself a lot more than normal.

It looks normal to me. As I said, it should become less and less. If it does not, or becomes more, call the vet right away.

Trunchbull-Kitten 1
Kitten 2-Miss Honey.
Kitten 3-Bruce
Kitten 4- Lavender
Kitten 5-Wilfred

Bruce has started to open his eyes the slightest bit! Can't wait for them to all have them open. Mama and everyone are doing great! It's so cute so see them grow and to watch them develop little personalities. It seems Miss Honey and Lavender are buddies when ever they sleep they are always by each other and always sleeping so adorable!
I think that's enough pictures for now lol. I have so many I would probably drive you guys nuts if I posted them all. Lol

lol it's okay, I wanted them to all be girls. So I got excited!
The rescue that is working with me with Matilda is looking for a nursing mom for 3 newborn kittens I offered to see if Matilda would accept I'd be willing to take them on so we shall see we might have 3 more kittens soon!

8 kittens might be too much for your cat. [emoji]128528[/emoji]

If I do end up taking them in the new kittens will be put on a rotation and supplemented. I know how important it is for them to have that mom cat influence so I figured this would be a perfect way.
