Oh I am just seeing this thread now.
What a lucky kitty Minette is- and of course I cannot count the babies.
Grisette my first cat had kitties two times (30 years ago ) first time because then I thought it would be better for the cat to have kittens one time, second time because I thought she wouldn't get pregnant while nursing (Two times wrong thinking, I know).

First time she got them in a closet. Of course we had prepared a nice box but she wanted a sheltered spavce with noone around- and Minette might think the same.

I hope the babies are born naturally- would be better for the relationship between them and their mom.

I suppose whatever they will have inherited they will be the cutest babies ever.
