Anyone who's been reading my blog know that my gorgeous cat 'Agnes' is pregnant. Or was.
Yesterday at 2:30pm Agnes managed to have 4 beautiful and healthy kittens.
It was slightly terrifying the whole experience, i can't even imagine how Agnes must be have been feeling. My boyfriend and i came home from school early after an exam and just sat in the conservatory with her, everything was normal. Until Leigh suddenly went to me "erm what the hells going on with her stomach?". She was contracting majorly! Straight away i realised that today is going to be the day Agnes goes into labor. I rang my uncle in a slight panic as it was only Leigh and I at home and well were not qualified vets, plus my uncle is the guy who seems to know a lot about his animals. He soon came round with my Grandma.
Agnes began having 8 contractions in a row in a single minute. We realised then that during the night Agnes must have started her labor because usually it takes 24 hours for a cat. Anyway, everything just went so fast. It took 2 hours for her to produce the first kitten after peeing on my foot and having her waters break on the floor. The reason it was slightly terrifying was because as soon as the first kitten came out on the carpet and straight away she sat on it, then ignored it, then became horrified by it. It was me who actually had to get the kitten out of the sac (they're born in water sac's btw) by using my hands, then the poor little thing couldn't breathe so i have to clear it's airways, during all this i had a miniature panic attack and had to breathe for a minute before carrying on. There was no way i was letting this kitten die!
Luckily, i managed to wake him up and he was soon yelping at the top of his voice. Which is then when Agnes became scared of it, she had no clue what was happening really. But, it was all fine in the end. She plucked up the courage to pick up her kitten and take it to her nest, where 2, 3, and 4 popped out, literally popped out. She started to lick all of them clean, but soon became very tired. After a bit of Sheba (cat food) she was fully washing each cat and herself included. There are all the size of my hand and very strong, i shall keep you posted on their growth.
