Remember the tortie that had adopted my aunt was pregnant again...well it was far too far to abort by the time she had returned to my aunts house-so the vet said it was best let her have this litter then get her done ASAP afterwards-not ideal in any case but there was little that could be done apparentlly.
Well today we were visiting to drop off some step ladders-during our visist Megan (as she was christned) went into labour...firs kitten was a wee tortie came out with ease (i was shocked though-havent seen the miracle of birth in all its gore in a long time!) but the next one..next one she had trouble with..it came out halfway then was seeminglly stuck-and as hard as she pushed nothing! So..i volunteered to do the honours-reached for a surgical glove from the box and eased the little one into this world-a extremelly large and podgy ginger who took some vigorous rubbing with a towel to get going!!, who was then followed by another tortie.
That is, seeminglly, the whole litter-and you know the marvellous thing-all kittens already have homes!
Megan's appointment was made this evening, after speaking with the vet apparentlly-and he said to my aunt, he wants too see Megan in about 5 weeks time (providing the kittens are fully weaned) to see her condition-and if all is good, she will be speyed then. So it would seem all has ended well...
But yes i was quite proud of myself-not everyday you can say you helped life into this world!
