Wilma is kittening!

[alexgirl73]

We've got one little B&W baby so far:D She's doing very well and seems to be a natural. Will let you know how she gets on.

[angieh]

How wonderful! Hope all continues to go well.

[calismum]

Keep us up to date - hope she continues to manage on her own.

[Elaine]

Oh bless her xxx

[Mags]

Hope the birth goes smoothly for Wilma.....:)

[alexgirl73]

Little minx gave us heart failure there! She's just had the second baby, and because it took so long the vets said if she hadn't had it by 6pm to take her down (she was still contracting and straining), but at 2 mins to 6 she gave birth to a little breech baby!! Doing fine and moving about etc and mum is cleaning as I type, so hopefully the others will pop out easily now.

[Moli]

How many do you think Alex???

[alexgirl73]

I put my bet at 5 lol, but we will need to see. :D

[Moli]

Can i guess 4............

[alexgirl73]

Well, so far it looks like 3 :lol: She has had 2 little torties - Pebbles and Betty and the B&W which we're not 100% on yet, so wont name until we know whether it's a boy or girl!

[dandysmom]

This is exciting! Glad she got the breech baby out OK, hope the rest will be easier; do keep us updated!

[angieh]

What a clever mummy cat to birth her breech OK. Hope the rest pop out like corks!

[random]

Oh bless her hope she is doing well!

[Kim]

Bless her Alex, what a clever mummy to deliver the little breech one. Please keep us posted. :)

TORtoiseshell tabBY.... tortie coat, tabby markings on face, chest, legs, tummy and tail. Leia is a dilute one. Also known in the States as patched tabbies.

[angieh]

I think Kizzy is a torbie!

[dandysmom]

I think you're right, Angie; she does have a tortie coat, and tabby markings on face, chest and legs...can't see her tail or tummy in the pics, but think you've nailed it...a gorgeous brown torbie!

[Kazz]

So they are tabbies then....................

[dandysmom]

Part tabby, part tortie, Kazz. best of both coat patterns. But your basic tabby (felis lybica) is behind all domestic cats. I guess you could say tabby is the default cats coat.

[smudgley]

How many kittens did she end up with Alex?

Do you have any pregnant cats or kittens on your waiting list, if you do and want us to take any, we have spaces for pregnant ones or youngsters :cool:

[alexgirl73]

She ended up with 3, must have been carrying a heck of a lot of water that's all I'm saying lol!! But 3 lovely wee fat kittens, very cute of course.

We don't actually have any pregnant ones or youngsters waiting to come in smudgley, it's still a bit quiet just now. Another one of our cats gave birth yesterday. She had 6!! and she was a lot smaller than Wilma. But she had gingers and ginger and whites! So a nice wee selection of colours born yesterday lol.

[mattde]

Congrats on the kittens :-)

[smudgley]

that's great & good news that you don't have any high-priority cats on the waiting list. :cool:

[angieh]

Could I beg/plead for pictures please Alex???

[calismum]

............ and could I second that plead, pretty please!

[Elaine]

And I'd like to 3rd it;) Piccies please.:lol:

[dandysmom]

It's unanimous...pics, please!
