My cat Missy just had 3 kittens and I can still feel one in her belly. I'm really excited because Missy is shy and timid and usually doesn't like to be pet or messed with too much. It's always on her terms and very few and far between. When she first started going into labor tonight I got her to follow me into the closet I set up with towels. She laid on her side and had me rub her belly. Every time I tried to take my hand away she pulled it back down with her paw. It was really sweet! I rubbed her belly for 2 hours before the first kitten finally came. She gave me a quick lesson on not touching her while she was pushing! She was MAD and scratched me pretty good when I tried to touch her! Poor thing was rolling around on the floor trying to get her mouth down to get to the kitten coming out. Luckily she didn't. It fell out while she was flopping around. As the 3rd kitten started coming out the other 2 were nursing and one wouldn't let go as she stood up to try to push so she BIT her to try to get her loose. I had to pry her teeth off of the poor baby. Poor Missy is soooo tired right now and I feel bad that she's gonna be going through it again any minute now. Poor girl. So far we've got a calico, a solid orange, and an orange and white one. I'm excited to see what this next one will look like. (Missy is orange and white and I saw the tom-he's black) Hopefully this next one will be the last one for her sake. She's letting me touch the kittens and pick them up to help them find a nipple but if I take one away she gets upset. I just can't believe she trusted me enough to be there with her while she was having them. That is definitely out of character for her. Maybe we are forming a new bond. That would be nice. We have 2 other cats also and Missy has bonded with my son while the other 2 have bonded with both myself and my other son. WEll, I'm off to watch for baby number 4. I was just so excited and had to share with someone! It's too late to call any of my friends. lol
