They Are Here....FINALLY!!

[Janet]

Ricky came in to my room and woke me up saying the kitty was having her kittens. So I immediately get up, go to his room and she is walking around with one out a little bit. We got her in her box and WOW...do cats scream when they give birth!!! Nothing like dogs...scared the living crap out of me, but I didn't let her know that.

I heard what sounded like an alarm going off and it was mine. Had no idea it was 5:40 AM. I thought it was midnight or something, before Ricky went to bed..lol. She couldn't have timed it better or picked a better day because Ricky didn't have to go to work until 11:00 AM.

Before I went on my bus route she had had 3 babies and by the time I got home she had 7. They are just so darn cute I can't stand it. When they were first out...they looked like little mice. Never saw a newborn cat before.

She was so exhausted after the last one that she didn't even cut the cord so I did and threw the placenta away. She slept for the longest time and then I gave her some scrambled egg and she scarfed it down. Now she is nursing and being a great Mommy.

Here are a couple pictures right after I got home from the bus route...she was all done.
