(sung to the tune of "I'm A Little Teapot")

I'm a little Skittles,
Short and stout,
Here is my sto-mach,
It's called a kitten drought.
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout,
Tip me over and pour them out!

Ok this is as far as she will come out... She her dark sheets and blankets Perfect to birth on Think she notices and will get the hint

Actually I would use light colored sheets for her to give birth on so you can keep an eye on blood loss....

She weigh If correct 7.5 now she is almost 14 she looks long doesnt she but she isnt....I think she is stretched is why....

Ok I will get 1 to lay over it all think that will work.... I have light in all the other boxes....

7 is very small!whats she doin since she came out? And I dont know if I missed the answer...how often are contractions?

I am not sure how often cause she is in the closet before it was like 30 min... She is still in there she just had to take a peek... It is dark in there I got the pic using the flash... I can not stand so I can not time her

Thats a bummer!

Aww, I do hope your foot heals soon. That's a big bummer...especially with all you have going on right now. Everything will be fine!

I'm going to bed a tad early tonight, and I'll pop back in tomorrow. Good luck, and stay off the foot! Take some Ibuprofen, and give Skittles a smooch!

Is it possible she wedged herself to help ease her contraction pain? My cat liked to lay with her feet against the kittening box toward the last few hours...she did only have 5 so laying on her side comfortably was possible ;S

I am hoping tonight is the night because Thur is coming on soon... I dont want to decided.

That is a super good ? I am not to sure.... She does have a lot of trouble laying.... Man if I had oxytosin I would give it to her but the vet said it wasnt a option It is dangerous....

If oxytocin is given before the first kitten is born it can rupture the uterus....

Ya I know he told me That why I knew it wasnt an option


Sorry should of added why

Her last day outside was march 23 right? according to book I have kittens would be dueMay 27. but obviously sooner if mated over a few days...If she has them naturally did vet say she might need c-sec anyway due to wearing out or she should be able to do it on own?

Going by March 23, May 24 is the 63rd day. I always calculated my cats due date to day 63, though many went a day or two longer, and several went a few more days past that.

he feels she can go on her own... Yes she was outside and I could not get her in she was with a bunch of cats.... I thought she had to be in heat to get pregnant I found out she had URI after that was over she was almost 6 weeks... I got her in 5am 23th
I know she has been like 3 days early on everything the calender says...She was outside all night on the 19-20-21-22-in 23 so see why my date is off...I was very irresponsible. I had so much going on in my life I did not get her fixed...

It happens... don't beat yourself up about it. You've done a wonderful job with her, and will do a wonderful job raising the babies too!

SHe came out to lay with me the kids went to bed.... I feel her back paws are shaking on my leg....Not all the time...
