My foster cat gave birth last week to five beautiful kittens. She had four boys and one girl, all have a 'tuxedo' pattern to them. It's going to be fun trying to tell them apart
Katalina, my foster cat, had a relatively quick labor. She was having the kittens about twenty minutes apart, gradually slowing down as she neared the end. The last kitten (#5) was giving her trouble, though. She was having strong contractions, but the kitten seemed to be lodged in there. She was meowing horribly, and after a couple more contractions I could see his little body, coming out breach and his sack was already ruptured. I quickly helped her get him out and she licked him clean and he was all right, thank goodness!
It was an interesting night, but she did a great job!
