My Sister & I As Official Midwives.....

Amber, my sister, calls my mom and I to head over to her apartment because she has a pregnant mother cat, who's water just broke. Of course, the pull of seeing brand new baby kittens was too much. Mama Minerva (since we couldn't come up with a better name very quickly) was happy to have a little tummy massage while in labor. She purred the entire time.After way too long, and one kitten that didn't make it, she managed to issue 5 other live kittens! Two grey, two black, and one very striped baby who looks a lot like mama. In this picture you can see 3 of the 5. The other two were sleeping under her chin and one of her arms.

I couldn't help but check on them every other minute and I really couldn't help but holding them every chance I got. This one is with little stripey..... With one of the little black ones......who boobed and cried the ENTIRE time I held him.........and then one of the little grey ones.....

Don't laugh at my hair in these last two.....I had just had it cut and there wasn't time for styling. I was on kitten detail.
