Okay we have 2 babies so far! A Tri-colour like Amy and a tan/ginger (can't tell) one. Both are fine and mewling and looking for boobies!
NOW THE AMAZING THING IS.......... Tatyana is in there helping! I came back into the room and Tatyana is in the box with Amy and they are both purring and licking kittens! Is this okay?? should I take Tatyana away! Amy has licked Tatty and is purring and seems in no way distressed and Tatty seems to be over seeing the proceedings! And watching the kittens already born! I am not sure what I am supposed to do here! Help!!!
Oh Leslie! I'm so excited for you!! I'm just tickled pink...can't wait to see the new babes! WHOO! I'm finally a cyber aunt!! YAY!! Keep us posted Leslie...
According to a program on the Discover Channel, cats babysitting and even nursing another cat's kittens is not rare. I would continue to watch though. Congratulations! (I'd let her spend the night alone with her kittens though.)
PHEW!!!!!!!! This is hard work! I am like a nervous father hovering around and not being able to do much! Tatyana seems to be okay with Amy and visa versa! It is really amazing to watch! Then Tatty will get a bit excited and tear madly around the house and play with toy mice and then come back calm as anything to sit and watch again! LOL! The 2 babies are doing really well and are nursing! The tri colour is mostly black with tan dot's on it's back and the other is an unusual gold beige colour! I am so blessed seeing this! (again *sigh*) Thanks for the info Jeanie Don't worry I will make sure she is alone!
Fred brought home a pregnant stray once, and when she had her kittens, he stayed with her, licked her face, and even helped clean the newborns. He's a great papa cat.
I am glad Amy and new family is doing well. Congratulations!
Amy is a Tri-Colour Calico you can see her in my Sig! She was a stray that turned up pregerrs and had 3 kittens that we looked after and she got preggers again straight away so now we ware looking after her/them again! (Long story)
There are 4 babies now! The 4th one is Black and White (looks like a cow pattern)
*rushes back in* *pants* Mother and babies are doing well! They are resting and nursing! I don't know if there is more to come! Can't feel anything! Going to go get her something to drink and eat or should I wait a bit longer???????
Tatyana playing and then coming in to see how we going! I think she wants them to come and play!!!
Leslie!!!!! OMG how exciting!! At least Amy didn't keep us all waiting impatiently this time. LOL That is so sweet that Tatyana is doing that...and they say animals don't have feel anything. What does the 3rd one look like? I can't wait to see the little angels! :angel2:
