Kitten update! updated again...

Sorry it took so long but we were at my grandmothers birthay "party"

Everything is ok with the mother cat and her kittens, so far there's three, but maybe another one on the way

We just left her alone for a while and everything went fine. Guess where she chose to give birth? In an old DIRTY bucket in the cold garage... :?
We moved them to her bed, and they all setteld in right away.

I'm a little concerned about the one who came out first... One back leg don't seem to be working (it's just hanging there) and the mother doesn't lick him/her as much as the other two.

I'm at home now, but I'm promised updates if anything happens

I'm going over again to morrow, and then I'll take some pics! :love_y_t_much:

Update:Now it's 4 kittens

 

Congrats! Might not be a bad idea to take the babies and mom to the vet for a check-up and possible spaying. :0018: I'm really worried about the kitten with the dangling leg.

 

I'm worried too :cry:

I'll offer to take them to the vet tomorrow when I'm going to visit. Maybe the vet will come home to her as well? I know she did that one time before, when fox had a long, sharp blade of grass up her nose and down her troath. But then it was really an emergency...

Anyway, I promise I'm going to help taking good care of them But I disagree with my mothers decision to wait and see... :|

 

Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing...

But you must promise not to be mad or anything....?

As you know fox had a little trouble getting the first one out, and before I got there my mom tried to help out a little. To her defence: She was really worried when the contractions almost stopped and the kitten was coming with the tail first.

So she tried to pull the tail, VERY gently. And when I came in the door she almost cried b/c the tip of the tail had fallen off! :-& :cry:

My grandfather said that it probably wouldn matter, it wasn't that much...
What do you think?

 

i think it should be alright. Long as there wasnt any excessive bleeding or anything i can't see the harm.

your poor mom heh i can imagine how distraught she must have been.

Sounds like the kittens leg (the other kitten) might be broken- which is possible or maybe even dislocated.

Sounds like it was a tough birth.

hope to hear more updates!!! All our love your way! [-o< :kiss_heart:

 

oh...poor little one...

that will probably be the one who is the most loving!!! :wink:

hope hes okay. [-o<

 

Just wanted ta say my cats don't have tails and they're fine!! lol :lol:
