Well I think little jasmine (she now has a name) may be gearing up to have her babies. Thanks for the info Sarthur2 Sarthur2 . I've had a good read. Last night jasmine seemed very quiet. This morning she is in and out of her nest and meowing to me. She has climbed onto my lap for a belly rub but doesn't seem to settle. So hard to judge her behaviour when I know so little about her. I could be reading her all wrong but she just seems different to me today. Where before she was happy to lay on the floor, she seems to be spending more time in her nest now. Fingers crossed that this is it and she delivers her kittens safely.

It does sound like she may be having contractions due to her restlessness. Keep us posted! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Jasmine is definitely in labour. See meows if I left the room and has posiTunes herself between my legs. The babies are well down and her genitals look wet and swollen. She is purring constantly but it's not a normal purr. It's more of a rythmic growl type purr. I think we may be close.

She has gone into her nest now. She does this rythmic purr then she gives a little push. But she is not pushing regularly. Is this normal folks ?

catwoman707 catwoman707 @Handsome Kitty not sure what time it is in America. Jasmine is mouth breathing now but still lay on her side in the nest. She just gets up and moves around a bit then goes back on her side. She has been like this for approx 5 hrs. Is this normal ?

How is she now? It sounds like hard labor to me. Cause for concern is pushing steadily for an hour with no results.

That was her mucus plug!

Excellent! Yes, I too apologize for not being here when you needed support.

So glad to read she has done well and babies are all good. I'm sure you are very relieved!  


We need pics!

Hi guys. Please don't apologise. We are on the other side of the world!! You guys are just fab. I will send some individual pics of jasmines babies. She did so well. She had some pretty hard contractions but she stayed lovely and calm. Lowest both weight was 104g highest 118g. All babes are suckling well and gaining weight.
