Kendall never made a sound during delivery she purr'ed the whole time she was givin birth at 4:20 our first boy was born and instead of placenta another baby was born at 4:23am they appear to be twins and from what the vet said they are for sure twins then at 6:00am our pure white girl was born strange because she is tortie and so is the tom she was bred too,and at 7:00am we had our last kitten who looks just like her momma... I was worried that Kendall wasnt going to be a very good mom because she is so independent and i thought that maybe the babies would end up being a problem for her, but how was i wrong she is a great mom who takes such good care of her babies. As of today 2 of the 4 kittens eyes are starting to open. They are all gaining weight in a hurry very rollie polie.
Thank you for allowing me to share my joy with all of you.

Interesting, since I've read on more than one site that tortie males are infertile:
