5 Kittens

Well, we were right, our cat Mary was pregnant! She just finished giving birth to five beautiful little kittens. She woke us up early this morning, meowing at us and climbing on us. This isn't normal, so we figured she was trying to tell us something. So, we got out of bed, poured her some cat food, and then noticed something hanging from her behind and she was leaking fluid. We encouraged her to lay in the box we brought home for her. She did, and we went to watch TV to give her some privacy. She didn't want to be alone, I guess... so she came to get one of us. My boyfriend sat beside her box, that is the only way she seemed comfortable. She then began to give birth. We watched the whole thing and it was so amazing! They came out one by one, until there was 5 in total. I can't wait until they are a little older so we can play with them and can pick one to keep!

@Angelee_27 Are the kittens all black or are they black and white like the momma?

@Marcyaz I think there are two all black, two gray and white, and one calico-looking color. The momma is actually gray and white, not black and white.

We are only picking one to keep and going to try to find good homes for the rest.

@Angelee_27 Good idea. I'm sure your local ASPCA shelter could help you out.

We have a main cat that we adopted but i hadnt have the chance to see it give birth. She stays put on her place while at night some stray cats come to eat her share of the food we gave.

Seeing new life come into the world is a wonderful thing. You'll have your hands full when they start running around.

She does! She hasn't left her box all day, just laying and feeding.
