On July 31rst our Kimahri had 4 kittens. They are so cute! It was such a neat experience for me to be a part of it. She was in labor pretty much the whole day and didn't want me to leave her. She actually wanted me to hold her and snuggle. Poor thing, she kept looking up at me and would wimper. She definitly was a trooper. I had made her a bed area in our walk in closet in Ron and mine's room. There were some corner shelves that actually were perfect for her. so she had a bed on the floor, her basket and then the corner cubby. Finally, around 3:30-4:00 the first head started to pop out and she kept trying to make a brake for the litter box. But since I wouldn't let her she kept jumping from her cubby shelf to the floor bed. So the first baby was actually born in mid jump. Once she came out Kimahri totally changed and immediatly started being a mom and taking care of her little one. She stayed in the same place after that. Finally after two more hours the other 3 had been born. It was so neat for me to see it happen. I love the miracle of life. First came a little black kitten( a girl). We named her sophie. Next came a grey tabby(a boy). We have named him Braska. 3rd came another grey tabby but he(also a boy) has some rusty coloring around his face. He was born breach and gave Kimahri a bit of a work out. Kaeryn choose him as her own and named him Calcifer( a character from one of our favorite books). 4th was also another boy and another little black kitten. He has some white and grey whispy hairs around his legs. He was also breach and was the hardest and longest to come. He gave us a little scare because once he was out he made no movements and was appearing not to breathe. Kimahri let me move him closer to her reach and started licking him and finally all at once he started moving around(and hasn't stopped since). Tristan choose him and named him Oliver after one of the Thomas the tank engine trains. We are so happy they are here!
This is Kimahri after the kittens were born and she had finally finished cleaning them all off. Poor thing was so exhausted and hungry she couldn't get up to eat so I put a handfull of her food next to her and she looked at me and meowed and started eating. It was so sweet!
After a long rest, that night she was able to get up and get some water. The little one's just all snuggled together. It's just so precious. I just love babies of all sorts!!! On the outside is Braska. His name comes from a character in one of our favorite video games we played together. Kimahri actually is from the same game. In the middle is Sophie. Her name comes from one of our favorite characters in a book calles "Howl's moving castle". Next is Oliver. His name is from Thomas the tank engine. Tristan absolutely loves the Thomas trains. Laying sideways is Calcifer. His name is also from "Howls moving castle". As you can see we like to name our pets after favorite characters from books, games and movies we share together. Aren't they just so prescious!
This is Calcifer. I love watching the newborns sleep. It is one of the most peaceful things. We love our little kittens and welcome them to our family.
