Soooo adorable
. Last night was the first night I slept in my bed instead of the sofa. Her wanting to be with you is very normal for first-time mothers. Unfortunately they don't always know whats best for their babies right off. If it gets to bad then, like I said before, she will do better in a bathroom or a place where she can't go far. After a while she will figure it out.

They are beautiful!! I was going to say if she keeps leaving them a lot and maybe for the night, you may want to get her into a small room like the bathroom or laundry room. You don't want her to move the kittens to a different place in the night or anything. Plus it will keep them safe from your kids. No offense to your kids, but kids are kids and I am sure they will be curious. Just the first couple days until she calms down a bit.

If shes panting then I would be inclined to think she is still in labor. They can hold off on contractions for a while. My girl calmed right down after the 4th. I thought there was one more but she showed no signs of labor anymore after the 4th...but also every cat is different so its hard to tell. Do you see any movement?

She did an AWESOME job, what beautiful babies. As grueling as it was I am sure it was well worth the wait
Good job Missy girl!

My girl refused to leave her nest for the longest time. I fed her in her nest but that evening I fed all the cats and she finally came out to eat. She stopped by the litter box on teh way back to the nest. That was probaby at 9-10pm at night and she went into labor at 5:30am. She still only goes to the bathroom once a day. She just dosne't like leaving the nest.
