Munckin says "Thank you....meow" to you and Katjaye.

I have heard of identical kittens, but have never seen it...they were like back to back! If you look at them you can see they are very much identical with maybe one or two marking differences. I was amazed to watch them be born so closely together!!

That's really cool! I wonder if they have the same DNA like human identical twins... And your welcome Munckin!!! Is this her first litter? She's a great meowmie.

Prayers for the littel one!

Those photos are so sweet! What a worry they gave you, though. Glad it all worked out fine.

For the first 4, does the mom cat put them to nurse, or do you place them after she has cleaned them up? Just curious. I know you had to place the 5th baby.

I wonder about the DNA thing too....that would be cool. Munchkin was my bro's cat and he never spayed her and let her be an outdoor/indoor cat, I am very mad at him for this. I took her from him and told him he can not have her back until she is spayed. Yes this is her first (and only) litter. She really is a good meowmie!!

Thank you very much for your prayers for the lil' girl. I am hoping she will be okay. The babies automatically find the mama's nipples, sometimes you have to place them all. Munchkin was so tired. I am thinking that is why she did not care for the 5th baby at first.

Thanks! Wow, it is just so fascinating (if you haven't been through it a dozen times, I guess that makes a difference). The new first time mom knows to open the sac, clean the baby, cut the cord, and the baby knows to go find food!

Some of them never outgrown that!
