Advice On My Pregnant Kitty!!!!

[Whitney_erin]

Great! Sassy is an amazing mama. She hasn't left those babies side since they were born. She did in fact have a 5th. And i weighed all kittens except #5 who is obviously the runt because mama was still working on it before I took a nap

How funny! This sounds exactly like amoras labor . She had two grey tabbies first, I thought one with a dilute calico, then the black and white, then two other tabbies, and her 6th one she had 2 hours later after the final one. She was a calbie

I weighed the kittens about and hr after each was born so they could be cleaned and latch!
Kitten #1 110g
Kitten #2 106g
Kitten #3 97g
Kitten #4 100g
Kitten #5 (I have not weighed this one yet. It was born about 7hrs ago and I needed sleep. And that one was having troubles nursing at first so that was my focus) About to weigh the 5th kitten in a few mins.

Happy she’s such an amazing mama! All grey tabbies and the black? Or other colors as well? Can’t wait for them to grow!

We have 3 grey tabbies, and i guess 2 "calbies" if that's what they're called haha. The last born has more orange than the other.

 

[Whitney_erin]

The 3 grey look mostly grey but their paws and belly are grey tabby for sure.
The 3rd baby born was more a regular tabby to me with a touch of orange, like barely. And the 5th baby is black tabby looking like the other but has more orange splashes. lol

So cute! Can’t wait for photos! Is her energy still up or is she resting for awhile now?

Kitten #5 93g as of now!

She's resting alot, but she got up and came in my room out of the bathroom and ate. She ate some dry food, some wet, and a bowl of goats milk. Now she's nursing kittens in her box.

You’re lucky! Amoras runt was only 73 grams at birth. Now he’s about 120 and all the others are nearing 300 . I supplement sometimes as much as I can.

Yea, i'm honestly surprised. I was really nervous since #4 & 5 took so long. The 5th born was barelymoving at first, way slower than the others and couldn't latch. It took me and hr to latch it. I thought I was gonna have to supplement.. but they're doing great.

Oh she also didn't cut the cord with the last one, so I had to do it. And I tossed 1 placenta as well.
