Chelsea was pregnant when I brought her home so I looked for info on the Internet about birthing kittens. It was a wonderful experience to play midwife for a cat! For the first two babies she was clueless so it was good that I was there to clean them and make sure they were breathing. It wasn't until she starting cleaning herself and accidentally licked a kitten that the momma instinct kicked in....it was so funny, like a switch turned on in her head. She was a good mommy after that which left me with nothing to do...lol
