~She ate fine all day today, played real rough with oreo earlier and I was asleep on the couch and heard BABIES! She has had 2 so far OMG Im soo freaked I didnt think she would have them this soon! She had them INSIDE the house on the CAT TREE!~
~Okay whew I did not think she would have them for another week at least. She was running and jumping and VERY active today. No nesting, no lack of eating etc. She was just SUPER today. She climbed up in her cat tree like she does every night and I laid down on the couch and watch Meercat Manor. I thought it was on TV but then all of sudden it hit me...KITTEN SOUNDS not MEEREKAT!
She had already had 2 babies. I quickly got her out because the babies were dangerously close to the opening and would have feel out and down on the ground. I have her in a small dog crate with the babies now. She has 3 total and I believe she is done. No more panting, contractions etc. She was exausted and didnt break the bag on the last baby so I had to. She didnt chew off any of the umbilical cords so I tied and cut them. She has a grey striped & white feet with blaze one, a black striped with white feet one, and an orange tabby one. They look SO different from each other. here is pics. I have ALOT of pics but some are quite graphic not sure we are allowed to post actual BIRTHING pictures. The little grey one has the same marking on forehead as mom.
~Im just so darn excited! I am susposed to leave tomorrow morning at 6 am to go out of state for the weekend to take my kids to visit family for Easter. I had no clue she would have them this soon. She wasnt that big so I knew she wouldnt have many but I had no clue they were already on their WAY! haha. They look SO different from each other. The little orange striped baby is the CHUNKY one. Much larger than the other 2. The second that came was grey striped baby with white V on forehead like mom. Last one i got pics of actually being born.
Thought it was black at first but as I dryed it off it is striped too. The grey and the black striped both have 4 perfect white feet. The orange is SOLID orange. You cant tell sex this early can you? I have 3 kids, they all got up to see the ruckas. They want to give them names in the next few days but I havent a clue if you can tell boy/girl this early. WHEW I cant sleep now thats for sure. Im so proud of my babygirl. Oreo was hanging out on top of the other cat tree just watching her have them haha. Ill take more pics later today~
Everyone is great. We have decided on names although not sure who is who yet. Since they were born during Meerkat Manor, one of my fav shows, their names will come from the show. Zaphod, Tosca, Youssarian and Lazuli are the main names we will chose from when we figure out what we have, boys/girls.
How cute! You do have about a 90% chance that the red one is a male. It's very hard to sex them until they are about 3 weeks old and even then it can be dicey.
