I hope that mama and kittens are all still doing well. I'm so sorry to hear that one of the kittens passed away.

They're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Talk about sleep deprived nights!!! I got to sleep around 4:30 am and up again 30 minutes later with hubby for work. Tried to go back to sleep when he left but took me almost an hour and then was awakened by the BIL when he left at 7:00, by FIL again at 8:00 by Guido (called to see how the kitties were) at 9:00 and have been up ever since. It's 10:30 now. Enough whining from me though.

So, far so good. Momma is very good with them. She is careful when she repositions herself or gets in and out to eat or drink. Kittens are loud and active with round little tummies and feeding well. SO fingers crossed that all continues to go well.

I will get some pics in a little bit when I feed momma Misty again. FIL just got back from the pet store with some Royal Canin baby cat dry (for momma), Royal Canin Recovery canned & some cat milk for nursing mothers. Miz Misty will be a happy kitty.

Will keep you all updated and will post pics as soon as I can.

Thanks again guys.

Misty, babies & Michelle

I'm so sorry one of the kittens didn't make it.

Rest in peace little one!

Michelle, you have done all the right things, and I'm glad the three others are feeding and the mom is so good with them. She will be happy to get some yummy food and milk.

Sounds like you need a good rest!

It's 9:13 a.m. here and I just tried to call Michelle to see how it went. She's probably out like a light cuz she didn't answer. A well deserved nights rest is definitely in order.

I was following this yesterday, on FB. Popped in here to check before turning in. I didn't post, as I couldn't add anything. Just prayed all the other babies continued to do well.

What a marvelous midwife you are, Michelle! And good for you, Donna, calling and lending support and info you had.

Misty is a lucky momma to have found a PT home to have her babies.

I, too, had been following this on FB. I am so sorry the little wee one didn't make it. Life can be so cruel.

Good on you, Michelle, for your diligence! And, to Donna for lending a helping hand when it was kind of scary over there.

Looking forward to updates, when you have had a chance to rest!

You did a wonderful job helping Misty and her newborn babies. There was some LES here when I saw that baby # 3 didn't make it. Glad to know that Misty is such a good Mommy and is caring for her beautiful babies. Looking forward to the pictures.
When Misty is up for it, could I ask you to give her some lovies from me?

I am sorry that I almost missed this thread. I remember when Pouncette had her two babies at the Found Cat Hotel, and one little Baby had passed on.
I named her Pounceroo , nas laid her to rest under a bush in the back yard.
She was so tiny and gray and white like her Mamma Cat.

God Bless Your Eternal Baby Awesome Angel, and Bless You for helping her Mamma, and her Siblings.

Here is a little update for those of you that continue to follow these little rascals. 3 weeks ago today these little farts were born. They are doing really well. Growing like weeds. They love to be cuddled and want out every time someone goes into their room. They are getting really good at getting around and momma doesn't like that one bit. LOL The little girl is the most adventurous and the most advanced. She is smart as a whip and catches on really really fast. Whenever she is out she makes a b-line for the cat milk & water dishes. She is drinking without an issues. She didn't once stick her nose in too far like they have the tendency to do and sneeze. She knew right away what to do. She actually sat and watched Misty drink & then decided it was her turn and copied momma perfectly. The 1st born male (b&w) is quite agile. He climbs up & down out of my lap on his own. The others don't do that yet. But he isn't as quick on his feet or into the water or milk dish yet. But he is the only one that plays pounce with the kitty toys. The little gray one is the biggest in size and he is a real momma's boy. He does nothing if he can get away with it. If he wants something he doesn't try to do it he just cries and momma comes running to give him what he wants....that is almost always to be fed. LOL He is such a piggy. Misty is doing good too. She eats well, uses the litter box faithfully. Doesn't cause a fuss about being penned up with the babies all the time. Her only complaint is that she wants me to stay with her ALL the time. When I go to leave the room she grabs my leg and bites my toes. She loves to be loved on.

So now I will shut up and post some pics. These were taken today. There are 7 in total. 5 in this post and 2 more in the next. Hope you all enjoy them.
