They had their kittens twelve hours apart. Madorie went into labor early in the morning on Tuesday. She finished up around 11am. She is the proud Momma of five healthy, beautiful kittens. I was at work, but Casey said that it was adorable! Lena climbed in the box and coached Madorie through the delivery and loved on her! Awwww!
Later that night, Lena went into labor around 9:30pm. She would not let me leave her side. Needless to say, I didn't sleep that night as I played midwife to a cat. Lena's first baby was a little difficult, but the rest came more easily. She finished up a little before 5am (I had to be to work at 7!), and is the proud Momma of four healthy, beautiful babies.
Madorie and Lena are wonderful Mommas! (Except they are paranoid and always try to move the babies every five minutes...so we had to lock them all up in a cage.) But they do the cutest thing EVER! They act like sisters that had babies at the same time...so when one gets tired and needs a break--she leaves the nest while the other holds down the fort. This gives time for one or the other to eat, take a nap, play and stretch for an hour or so. Then they'll switch off. It's pretty sweet of them. They are good kitties.Now that Lena has had a litter of kittens, I want to get her fixed. I really wanted her to have babies before I got her fixed. I talked to the vet in town. Almost $100.00! That's nonsense! I wonder if you can Google how to fix a cat at home...?
