As for witnessing Birth,I am not sure as Mother Ctas usually wait until they are alone before they have Kittens.
A Pre Caution they ahve in the Wild where Predators abound.
A Feral Mother will have have Kittens when people are present,if they can help it.
Hmm, so maybe I should volunteer at some of these places before I go applying to paying jobs? That would help experience-wise.

Yeah, I was pretty wary about my ability to watch Isis have hers (she would have had them March 23rd, by the way) until my mother told me not to worry because I am super close with Isis. And by super close I mean the only person she will even let hold her or touch her while they are awake (sleeping people are a different story).

My husbands parents have five outside cats and there are a couple of others that have just wandered up in the past couple of days. There are only two females in the whole bunch (there were a bunch more cats but something keeps getting them). Both of them are pregnant, now there is Mama Cat and Rasputin. Rasputin is a first timer who is not much younger than Isis so I am not too sure about her mothering abilities however I hope that Mama Cat will protect her babies from the predators that are getting all of them. =( It IS going to be snake season around here, soon, and they are both due any time now.
