Babies

Well Beast had her babies today. She had 4 in 1hour. We had read up on cat labor and it said they usually have 1 an hour but she had them really fast. We are still waiting though because it feels like she still has one kitten inside her. So we will see what happens. Right now she is really exhausted but she is doing a great job being mommy. We were kinda worried with it being her first litter. But she has been taking good care of them and seems really content. Will post pictures later.

Cool! I can't wait to see pics, were the kids present? How awesome for them to get to watch it all unfold.
Glad she is a good mommy, sometimes I think that letting them have one litter before fixin' is good for the mentality of the cat.

yeah they got to see some of it, but not alot cause G was really worried about her and if she would accept the babies. We mainly told them what was going on and so they proceeded to find reasons to come out of their room so they could see little things. They are having a hard time not being able to hold them and touch them. But daddy said no, so they have to wait at least a week. It is cute though cause G is so protective over them.

Well, he did grow up in a house where that was a norm, it was important that we only be there IF the cat wanted it (and my cat wanted someone to "hold her tail" while she birthed her babies.)
How cute that g'rat was so protective! ahhhh.
