that makes 2 of us confused.... i'll keep checkin on her though

 

[jessienkitty]

this last one is so tiny. she doesnt even look like she has all the fur on her belly. she's meowing fine and stuff but she is so tiny!

 

[kluchetta]

Do you have a little scale that you can weigh them on? If the baby is eating and her little tummy is tight, she's probably ok. We had one out of our 8 that was just really smaller than the rest, and she always was, but she turned out just fine.

 

[bluebells belly]

Kitty, i was getting impatient waiting for your babies to arrive. At last you've done it well done big girl!!!!

 

[jessienkitty]

yeah she seems to be doing fine so i'll just keep an eye on her... i hope she is done now... that 5th one was a complete shock to me. i thought that she would only have 2... 3 was a bit much... but 5?!?! oh well ssooo...

Baby 1-Dilute(?) Calico Female, 645 am

Baby 2- Red Female(?) 910am

Baby 3- torbie/tabby female 1020 am

Baby 4- (still not sure) black with a little white female 1150am

Baby 5- red female 1245pm

apparantly i have all females... unless i'm just gender confusing them

It's pretty hard to tell right away, and your reds have an 80% chance of being males, I believe. I had one kitten that I was just sure was a male for 8 weeks, and he was a girl! LOL!

 

[jessienkitty]

just looked again and i found some males soooo...

and my dad and i went to get a burger and came back to find a kittennumber 6....6 kittens guys.....

my mom is ganna freak.... i have to go help Kitty now because the poor thing pooped on herself....

 

[Asteria]

Congratulations on 6 healthy kittens! Hope your mom takes it ok.

 

[jessienkitty]

k i need help. this last kitten is so tiny and it looks like a calico but its fur is yellow like it got stained or something... is this normal? it also had blood all over it but i think that was because kitty was still bleeding. she is doinga good job cleaning him up but he is so tiny. is there anything i can do to help it?

 

[sarahp]

Wow, Kitty did an awesome job over such a long time! The kittens will all have a great time playing together.

I've never been involved with a cat birth, so don't know what's normal, but I assume Kitty will look after everything - just give her space to let her do what momma cats do best!

 

[jessienkitty]

thanks. i gave the baby to her and she sems to be taking good care of it. all of the bigger kittens are hogging the nipples so i'll have to give it some extra special nipple time

so final count (i hope)

thank you! and me too

i told her there would only be one kitten... she is ganna faint when she finds out that there are 6

 

[solaritybengals]

Wow it finally happened! All the scary waiting is over. I'm so glad it all went well. Congratulations!

 

[jessienkitty]

me too. i am so glad she didnt have any problems. but i still have only seen 2 placentas... i dontknow if she had any while i wasgone though. how can i be sure that she has had all the placentas?

 

[gemlady]

It's amazing how many kittens can be packed into the uterus! Our Sheba (who was petite to begin with) popped out 7 with her last litter. (This was waaaay back in 1981.) Her teats were dragging the ground those last few days before the delivery.

WTG Miss Kitty. Here's hoping for a happy healthy family.

 

[malikitty]

Way to go miss kitty, i was right there with ya thinking she was never gonna have em lol. since you arent sure if maybe she delivered the placenta's while you were gone i would keep an eye on her, make sure she is calm, no more pabor like, ect. she may have expelled em while you werent around, you know how sneaky they can be. Just watch for another abnormal.

Gratz again

 

[jessienkitty]

thanks. i know there are still some placentas in there cuz i can feel them... but i think i might feel another kitten... i cant tell yet. i hope not. i hope it is just a placenta.

 

[missy'smomma]

Wow alot happened while I was away!!! I found Missy after she had already delivered all of hers. Then I panicked cause I thought there one more cause I felt something in her. After 6 hours I called the vet and we ended up doing a X-ray to make sure. It was just her bowels...lol But better safe then sorry. She may have delivered the missing ones while you were gone and cleaned up after herself. Sneaky things aren't they

Well, have fun with all those babies. Post pictures as soon as you can. We all want to see them.

 

[jessienkitty]

as soon as i have money to go get a camera i will go picture crazy! i just need to find the money to develop them after words.

CONGRATS Kitty and Jessie!!!!!!!!!!!

How long have we been waiting for this moment??? It seems like an eternity!

So glad to hear that everyone is fine!

6 babies!!!
