1am, NO power, NO light. On my bed, ON ME!!! lol I am not kidding you.
I woke up and felt her crawling all over me trying to get my attention, and remember REALLY waking up when I heard the cry of a newborn kitten. She had them between my legs, I was afraid to move, as I didn't know how many or where they were. I hollered and hollered for my husband (we slept in separate beds, it was SOOOO hot we had too) he came running and we gingerly slipped a towel under momma who still had a baby attached so we could move her from between my legs! LOL She proceeded to have 4 kittens within 45 min on the bed with us. Then she jumped up and moved one to the closet. Tried to take it to the litter box. My husband thwarted that attempt and put her and baby in the nest in the closet. We then picked up the other three in the towel and transferred them to her.
I stayed with her for an hour or so, made sure the last placenta was delivered and eaten and all babies were nursing. I stripped 3 layers of bedding off my bed and put it in the tub to soak. (NO WASHING MACHINE!)
This was ALLL by candlelight people! lol
I finally went to bed at 330am. I woke up again at 600 to check on her and her 4 kittens....make that 7 kittens!!! She is such a proud little mamma.
We have 3- Orange Tabby and White like momma, 2 Solid Orange Tabbies (one darker than the other) and 2 Snow white (I prayed for a white kitty and I got two! I am so excited!)
One of the Solid tabbies is tiny, we are supplementing him with KMR. I am giving some to momma too, she seems to love it. It can't hurt right? I will post pictures as soon as they upload.
