Newest foster mama,

[Cattycoves]

This is my new foster mama, she’s very pregnant due any day, I was wondering if this looked like contractions? The two moms I’ve had I never saw the contractions one had her babies at a early 3am I only got there after she was done, and my other was a feral mom we saw a little of the birth from a kitty cam, if not contractions just a twitch?

She’s one of the prettiest tabby’s I’ve ever seen, mama does look like just a baby herself though, something really unique about her i think, is her tail she only has half of it doesn’t seem like any recent injury maybe like that since birth?
Not much info on her just that she was found at a gas station and hopped in their car for a personal Uber

She does still need a name too!

Congrats!

Seems like mom's short tail is genetic then. You'll need to keep an eye on the tailless kitten. Google Manx Syndrome. Kittens born without a tail may have issues like incontinence or partial paralysis in the hind legs. Or they may be fine. It depends on how much the spinal cord is affected.
