I took in a pregnant mama for a local shelter, to give a lots of love and safe place to have her babies. I've raised many littes of orphaned kittens, but this was the first time I got to witness the birth.
I'm exhausted. lol
She had 5 kittens (that's what the Vet said she was having) and they are all, of course, adorable.
Here's my question. She didn't groom the last one so well, He was still a bit wet, so I rubbed him with a towel. I placed him in front of her a few times, but she didn't do any more grooming. I think she's exhausted, too. Should I be concerned? I did move them from the 1st messy box (she didn't eat on of the placentas, and I threw it out.
Is there anything I need to do, in particular? I figured she knows what she's doing, and I should just keep an eye on all of them
I did write down the times of each baby, and their weights. The trick will be being able to tell them apart.
Thanks!
