Meow-Me went into active labour early Thursday morning and the kittens arrived at 1:10am (Kitten 1), 1:37am (Kitten 2) and 2:14am (Kitten 3).
Kitten 1 was ginger coloured but was rather weak and it could be because it was born breech. Although it was nursing when I left them at 3am, I found that it did not make it through the morning. RIP little one...

Kitten 2 was a fiesty little one. It's tri-coloured which makes me think it may be a female. Kitten 3 is pure white with a black tail (similar to the cat that I think may be Meow-Me's father). Perhaps she was tired, but Meow-Me pretty much ignored this kitten immediately after giving birth. The poor little thing was trying to reach the nipples but couldn't do so as Meow-Me had her legs on the cord which was still attached to the placenta.....
I decided to move the placenta closer to Meow-Me and she looked in disbelief that there was more! But she prompty ate it and proceeded to clean Kitten 3.

Whisky, Cosmo and Ling have been very curious about the newcomers and have pushed open the main door to visit Meow-Me and her babies in the cage. Everytime I try to take a photo of this, they run back into the house!

I was coming by to see if she had had her sweet babies. I am so sorry the ginger on did not make it. Poor baby. But I am glad that the mommy and her two babies are all right now. What a joy to have them. I wish I could see the babies.

We were sorry to hear that the ginger babe didn't make it. Still the mum has two little ones to look after and we think they'll keep her busy.
I'm so very sorry that one of the little ones did not make it. I think she will be a very good Mommy!
We are happy things are all OK! Purrs for the tiny ginger babe, he'll grow up big and strong over the bridge.
Meow-Me looks a little thinner--MOL!
2 out of 3 isn't bad. They look nice and round. Talk soon?
We're sorry to hear one of the kittens didn't make it but we're so glad the other two and mama are doing well! They are cuties!
Congratulations ! you were the perfect midwife !
How cute they are. I am curious to see the little white one with a black tail, that must be unic, lol ! My Arthur only has a black tail when he had "worked" under a car !
