Kimba had her romper taken off at midnight and she gathered up her babies straight away and hasn't left them since. I will weigh them later to make sure all are doing well.
Now the 2nd Mom to be was drifting off to sleep next to me while biting me of course - it's her thing. I awoke suddenly at 7am and she wasn't next to me - panic set in as I was calling her - she answered me from under the bed, which I had blocked access to!!!!
Out she came while still giving birth to a baby, it was touch and go as he had inhaled fluid but a few shakes and he was crying out for his Mom, I quickly got her settled in the box on my bed in case their were more, my Daughter rushed in, I threw the pillows off the bed and we lifted the mattress just in case and there were 2 more babies all clean dry and warm, amazing our quirky Nahla had done it all on her own and whilst I am very sad to have missed their birth I am very proud of her. She went on to have a 4th that had died a few weeks before - very sad but it does happen. I will bury that angel under the Oak tree with old Oska who watches over them.
The picture below shows Nahla just hours before the birth playing, so typical of her she loves to play. Her babies are adorable, we have a red spotted tabby girl birth weight 79g, a blue tabby possibly with white boy weighing a massive 100g and not sure what colour the pale one is but he's gorgeous and weighs 87g.
