twins are possible in cats, more common in some breeds, I think I have heard Siamese are more likely, but I am not sure. My girl had 2 sets of twins in her litter back in May. She had 7 babies and only 5 afterbirths, and the babies with the shared placentas looked very similar, but not exactly...

And there's always the danger of suffocation with bags. You're right to put them up.

I'm glad to hear that she doesn't have CH, and I hope she doesn't have epilepsy. Hopefully it was somoething easy like a spell of hypoglycemia or dehydration.

It seems like at that age they are really testing their boundaries, and our patience, too. Have you looked into neutering? It will help calm some of that down, and stop spraying before it stops.

aw she's a cutie. Black and white kitties are my favorite, and mainecoons. It's a tie, lol.

You are appreciated and loved. Glad to hear that baby is going to be okay.

yes, calcium is very important if she is nursing 9 babies. My momma cat had 7 kittens, and she had low calcium, we had to supplement her diet. I practice a modified whole food diet in my house, so I included things like fresh fish, egg yolk, fresh cooked meats and organ meats, as well as the...

I'm so sorry to hear.
