This probably doesn't have anything to do with anything, but I thought I'd post anyway. I just finished my writing work for the yr and have to ocupy my time somehow ;D lol.

Has anyone ever seen a cat having a c-section? When I was at the Vet clinics last year for the co-op program, I got to see one, and it was interesting! This cat had came in and it had given birth to 2 kittens (which where there, 1 day old!) and 2-3 (what they thought) still in the mother. They needed to take them out. The little kittens where so adorabe! I don't think I've ever seen a new born kitty before :]

Anyway, I got to watch as they took the kittens out of the mother, the 1st one was fine, I had to hold her and kinda rub her with a towel as they took out the 2nd kitten. The 2nd one wasn't so lucky :[ he had a broken arm (it was all bent out) and he either was already dead, or he died later. It was sad. It was a neat experience though, I definitly saw amazing things there :D

Yeah, it was a great experiance, I saw a lot of amazing things I most likely wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to have..at my age anyway. Vets around here usually don't hire anyone unless your intraining, or experianced.

lut: your kittys are so adorable!

I also remember seeing my cat giving birth to six kittens. I was about 8-9 years old at the time. It was a very educational experience for me. I've also seen this on t.v. but it's just so different seeing it in person.

There is a show on Animal Planet called That's my Baby....
That is the sweetest show... where they show the momma through her pregnancy till birth...
I watched one where a cat gave birth to three babies... IT WAS SOOOO SWEET!!!!!

I also saw that show. They had it on Mother's Day. They kept running back to back episodes of it all day. I really enjoyed it.
