My Cat Just Gave Birth To Kittens!

At around 9:30am this morning, my pregnant mommy cat started having contractions. About 20 minutes later, I hear her meow a very strange meow (sounded kind of like a dog howl), I look on the carpet and there was a small trail of water/mucuos.. My cat's water broke, and now she was freaking out, hyperventilating, having more contractions. She paced around the room restlessly for about 30 minutes before she had stronger contractions which forced out the first kitten. It was wonderful hearing the first little meow. She bit off the umbilical cord and took the kitten away to a hidden area by the fireplace. Within the next three hours, she gave birth to five other kittens, totaling six.

After my cat cleaned off the kittens, their fur dried out and I could see their coat patterns. So far most of them have an orangeish tint to their coat with black spots. They mewed alot at first but after mommy cat let them nurse on her milk, they became quiet. Wow, they are so cute. I'm so happy!! :)
