We gots babies!!!!

6 little babies :D I came home from work and the little ones were already here! Momma did a pretty good job on her own, I only had to remove 2 umbilical cords that were still attached to the placentas.

3 Calicos
1 Orange
2 Black & White

Momma was exhausted so I only snapped a few (not-so-great) pics...

Thanks Aaron!

We were planning on keeping one of the little girls (We ended up with 3 girls & 3 boys), but the one I wanted to hold on to passed away last night (she was the runt).

Momma kitty pushed her away a bunch of times and I was keeping a close eye on her. She was sooo much smaller than the others and skinny. I went out yesterday and got emergency kitty formula and attempted to bottle feed, but she was just too weak.

Nature is cruel.

:tears:
This is the baby girl we lost...

RIP lil' Kitten

sorry that you lost one.

The orange one is super cute... I think I read a book when I was little about an orange cat and they've been my favorite ever since! ; P

I wish there was more I could have done for the lil' calico girl, I don't think she would have survived even if I had rushed her to the vet. So is life, I guess.

Thanks! He is the chubbiest one out of the group ;), and he is the one my kids now want to keep.

Could have been a lot more to it than you know - deformed or underdeveloped organs that caused her to be smaller in the first place - just the way things work and its interesting how the mother seemed to sense it.

Cuteness overload, btw.

Very true... Guess I never thought too deeply into it. I was quite surprised that momma cat kept pushing her out of the group, and she seemed very irritated that I kept putting the little one back (she was so cold). Poor thing just didn't seem to have the motivation to want to push her way in to get food or warmth. It sure does seem as though momma cat knew what was to come. I had a harder time accepting it than she did, thats for sure.

On the happier side of things, the remaining five kittens are doing great! All are nice & plump and noticeably larger ;)

Oh, and thanks, btw.

Some updated kitten pics from today...

awwwwww makes me want another one :)

They're getting even cuter! Sorry to hear about the little one that didn't make it. :hug:

Yeee! they're so cute now! Thanks for posting more pictures!!

Awww... I love that little black and white one! Kittens make me melt!

Thanks guys ;)

You should hear the lil' meows...cutest sound EVER! Especially when all 5 are meowing at the same time. The lil' buggers should be opening their eyes any day now! Can't wait! Once they do, I will post more pics full of Kitten cuteness :D

Those are cute. I love calicos, my first kitty was a calico. But that little orange puffball is pretty nice too.

Lena, I live 2 miles away from you.
If my mom wouldn't kill me I would die for a calico. :P

Thanks! My favorite Calico was the runt that didn't make it :(, but the other one is really starting to grow on me. I keep telling myself I'm not keeping any - not sure if I'm strong enough though :rolleyes:

The lil' orange one is the biggest of the bunch! I think he may have to be surgically removed from Momma's nipple :8: He opened his eyes today - first one! WoOt!

They are getting so big!!!

Thanks again for posting more pictures! The orange is definitely my favorite!! It looks like they're just starting to get to my favorite phase = )

Awww they are too cute (and Momma Cat is a lovely girl too)! Sorry about the littlest one that didn't make it but generally animals do seem to sense when an offspring isn't born right and push them away like that. It's like somehow they know that their resources are going to be wasted trying to raise the sickly one so they push it away to let nature take it's course. Harsh but it does allow for her milk to go only to the healthy babies that can use it.

Not a problem ;) They are too cute not to take pictures of :D

The little monsters are starting to move around and play finally. It's just beyond cute. They are 3 weeks old as of Monday, and growing so fast! I just want to keep them all :O

Thanks!

Actually, Papa Kitteh (aka Smokey) was neutered right before we found out Mama Kitteh (aka Roach) was pregnant. She was sorta dumped on us and we weren't a 100% sure of her age. We honestly thought she was too young (she's a petite lil' thing) to even have kittens - boy, were we wrong! The vet is guessing she is about 6-8 months old!

I don't plan on having Roach spayed at the moment. She is an indoor kitteh and I have no plans on letting her go outside. She is so small I fear the hawks & owls might get her. We neutered Smokey so that he could have some outside time. He's a hefty fur ball and other than coyotes, I don't think I have to worry about him being mistaken for a snack.

Just get her spayed and be a responsible pet owner. If she decides one day while in a raging heat to streak out the door, well, she'll get pregnant yet again and add to the already enormous population.

She will be healthier and won't have the chance to develop pyometra(uterine infections), mammary tumors, ovarian cancer/cysts, etc.

Get her spayed.

Oh wow when I saw the picture the first thing I thought was how long has she had them they already have fur!

Oh my gosh!! They are adoreable!!! Congrats! :gj: Love the momma. I have a "thing" for mommy cats. Always such sweeties.

Good luck raising them! They're all cute and cuddly until they're around 6 or 7 weeks old... :rolleyes: They you're in trouble. :D
