Back in June, someone abandoned a kitty. That kitty made her way onto her back porch and into our family. We had always been dog people. I was allergic to cats as a child and still have wheezing in homes with many cats. I have had no problems with Geo, our new family member. At this point, it would be allergy shots as I am not giving up our precious baby. Several weeks after she stole our hearts, we realized she was pregnant. She meowed a lot yesterday and would not leave my side. I ended up laying with her all day and rubbing her belly. I had a feeling that labor was near and sure enough this morning, her meowing became persistent as she woke me at 3am to lay with her. Around 9 am she was persistently cleaning herself. I had created a birthing box for her in my closet, I took her to the box at 9:15 and when I checked on her at 9:30, one baby was on the way. I had read to leave her alone unless she was in distress. I periodically checked on her until 11:00. We have three beautiful kittens. Her belly is still a little swollen. It is soft and I do not feel any kittens. She is feeding all babies well. She seems tired, as to be expected. She allowed me to help clean her up about an hour ago. She could not reach some spots left behind her ears from birthing. She rolled over and wanted everything cleaned. I was happy to see that she was still her loving self. I have read other post about how many kittens were born. Our liter seems small. I wanted to make sure this is normal. Geo is small. I am leaving the door open to let her come and go as she pleases. She has not left her kittens but I believe this to be her first liter and am hoping this is normal. I am checking on her about every hour to hour and half. Just need some reassurance that I am giving her what she needs, that everything is okay and that I am doing what I should be doing and not neglecting anything.
