Queen Cat with Her Newborn Kittens
Our Newborn Kitten Experience
Cat Birth
Queen cat Diamond's mucous plug was visible in the afternoon and by the next day her firstborn came - at around 7:30 a.m. There was an hour or two between kittens, giving Diamond time to nurse and clean each newborn kitten. Number 5 was born around 2 p.m. Thankfully there were no problems except the next day I woke up to find she had 2 more that did not make it. Queen cat - that is a lot of babies! I don't think Diamond could have cared for 7 newborn kittens or that they all would have flourished. Still it was sad to bury them.
