LOL, you have to admire a gal who knows how to pace herself! What is our final count, or are we certain yet?

Still just three! I feel like I feel another one but it could just be a lumpy uterus!
Photoshoot! I havent had newborns in a little while!

Are the grey ones identical in person? They appear to be in photos, to me anyway. Thanks for the pics, they're so sweet.

One of the grey ones has tabby markings, the other looks like it is going to be solid gray!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Am I looking at wee little torbies?

 

[ileen]

Thanks, I see now the tabby grey one has light fur above the nose & solid grey doesn't. And the third one looks to have leopard spots on its belly - belly shots please!

And TAILS! Lovely, wodgey TAILS!

Just walked back to check on her... Sadie and Sabrina were both sitting outside of her door. There was another kitten half out, breech, stuck. I helped pull her out but she was already gone. I am not sure how long she was stuck... I didnt see the placenta come out, she groomed herself a lot and several tablespoons of blood came out. I think I feel another kitten... she never stopped nursing her three living babies.

This is the weirdest cat labor I think I have had so far. Just walked back to check on her and another kitten was born! Another gray one! Already cleaned up and nursing, however I could see the tip of the placenta sticking out of her like it was stuck... I thought it was another kitten, she wasnt contracting anymore so I gently started pulling and got it out, she ate it. It wouldnt have been hard for her to get it out so I am not sure why she left it... she is still a little lumpy but not "hard" lumps like the kittens I was feeling before, MAYBE one more, maybe a uterus. Lord knows it could be another day with her if there is another one.

I think our final number is 4!

 

[ashade1]

Well 5 total, 4 surviving!

Does the last one have a different birthday from the others? Keep those cute pics coming!

When cats come from such harsh conditions, I'm amazed that they can bring any kittens to a successful birth, much less four out of five! GOOD JOB, MAMA!

Look at these spotted smooshy bellies! Lexie's babies are getting so big! And so plump!

 

[ileen]

Looks like some good weight gains - how much do they weigh? Any idea on names?

 

[Mamanyt1953]

They are adorable! Kittensmitten once again!

 

[ashade1]

They have unbelievable gains! Lexie is a great momma! The smallest is 160grams, the two biggest are already 200!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Goodness! They really are thriving!

 

[ileen]

Lexi is a superstar!

Beautiful Momma Remi and her 5 beautiful babies. They are all being treated for Giardia (they have panacur on their mouths lol) as I am pretty sure that is what they have going on. They are 8 weeks old now and scheduled to go in for their spays/neuters on 3/6 we have had a lot of interest in the kittens so they should find their homes soon! A couple of them still have gray/blue eyes... I am guessing they will stay like that? They should have changed by now right?
