I just wanted to add, when Shenzi had her kittens, we had gone away camping (a long planned trip with friends that we could not cancel) for the weekend and my eldest DD stayed home to keep an eye on her. She kept updating us (via cell phone) and everytime she would say, "Shenzi is just laying around, acting normal..every now and again, she seems a bit restless. No change"
These updates stayed exactly the same, it was frustrating because she seemed ready to pop, ya know? Then, monday morning, around 9:30 am, was the last time I talked to my DD (she was going to an all day concert and we were coming home). Same exact update, no changes. I though she was never going to deliver, although I was glad that we weren't going to miss the big event!
My DD left the house around 10 am and we got home at about 2 pm in the afternoon.
I walked in the bedroom and low and behold...Shenzi had delivered all 8 kittens, sometime between 10 am, when my DD left, and 2 pm...(I do know that 2 of them were just recently delivered before i came in the door, because they still had placentas attached and were wet) Funny thing, that there were no visible signs in the morning that she was that close. My DD was stunned when we told her later.
Just wanted to share that experience because sometimes things are happening and you can't tell...and then everything happens quickly and it is over.
