New Life

Little Miss Tibbs gave birth to SEVEN kittens this afternoon. We missed the birth of the first two but we were able to watch the next five. It was crazy, but kind of amazing all at the same time. It was incredible how she knew exactly what to do as each one arrived. Now she seems a little unsure of her self. She is meowing a lot when we are not in with her and is moving around a lot. If we sit with her she is fine. What's her deal? Hopefully everyone will make it through the night. Any kitty advice?

My cat did the same thing when she was deliverying and afterwards as well. She always wanted to be with me! After a few days though the clingingness stopped and she was just fine. I think just like human mommies cats just need a little 'extra support' after giving birth. Next thing you know she will be moving her kittens from place to place finding a new 'nest' for them. We always found kittens in the most strangest of places. Congrats on the new kittins!

How fun! Our cats were always having kittens and I agree with the previous comment - the clingyness will eventually go away :) How cute! Have lots of fun!
