    Bizarre Birth

    Two weeks ago, the cat of a friend of mine gave birth to two kittens...one very large and one very small. Sadly, both were stillborn. Then, a week LATER...my friend comes home from church to find that her cat gave birth to ANOTHER kitten! Just born, alive and healthy! Needless to say, she named the kitten Miracle. But she was just stunned. Has anyone ever heard of that happening before? Seven days between deliveries????

    As kittens in a litter can have more than one father, perhaps this kitten was a week behind in conception and development? Still, it's a Miracle kitten to be sure!

    No, I've never heard of this happening before. I too agree that it's a miracle. I have been told that there really aren't any runts in a litter because the smallest kitten is just the last one to be conceived. As Karen said, they can all have different fathers.

    I haven't heard of it happening with kitties, but I heard a story on the radio recently about some human twins born a week apart
    Too many pets? What's that?

    Hey there. What a neat story!

    It is not considered abnormal for a queen to deliver healthy kittens 1 to 3 or so days apart. However, a week is definitely unusual! My guess would be that the stillborn kittens affected the delivery of this last kitten, Miracle.

    I hope your friend is able to spay Momma Kitty.


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    Yes, Kater....a spay is definitely in the plans. Miracle is doing well, according to her human mommy. From what I've researched online, it's rare but not unheard of to have kitten births several days apart because of different fathers and separate placental sacs. A week is a bit much though...so, this baby is indeed a miracle.
