Mar. 29, 2008 - A very special delivery coming soon...

So as I am typing this, my kitten Bella is in labor and I am freaking out. Yep, I said it; my 11-month-old kitten is having kittens. I wanted to get her spayed before we moved, but she wasn't old enough and we have been so busy after moving out here we completely forgot to get her spayed. I am such a horrible pet owner!!! I seriously hate myself right now. We just realized she was pregnant the other day, which makes me feel even worse. We thought the reason she was bigger was because of winter fat. If I wasn't so busy, I would have noticed a while ago that she is pregnant. As I was checking her over last night, I thought we had at least a week, two at the most, until her due date. I am so not ready, I haven't set up a birthing box, I don't have newspapers, I don’t have any supplies at all, and the RV is a mess. If I was a better pet owner, I would have noticed when she went into heat and I would have kept her inside so she couldn’t get pregnant. I feel like a complete hypocrite, here I am telling people to spay and neuter the pets and I have a pregnant kitten. Who is going to listen to a hypocrite???  Anyways, even though I hate myself for letting this happen, I am still a little excited. Who isn’t excited when you have any kind of baby on the way? My mom completely surprised me by saying we were going to keep one; I didn’t even have to ask her. I really wanted to take Bella to the vet before she went into labor to find out how many kittens she is having. If I knew, I wouldn’t be as nervous. I knew with Lilly’s last litter because we had to rush her to the Emergency Animal Hospital in Annapolis at 2:00 in the morning because of complications, and they did some x-rays. It was the first time I saw an x-ray of any baby animal, and it was amazing. Luckily, Lilly didn’t have any more problems after we took her to the EAH, and she delivered two adorable little kittens named Mosi and Odie. Anyways, I am really worried about Bella because she is so young and this is her first litter. Earlier today, she was doing okay and acting very loving, which is weird for Bella, but now as her labor progresses, she is very agitated. She will go from pacing, to meowing nonstop, to just laying there looking very uncomfortable and glaring at me. I wish I could do something to make this easier on her. When Lilly was in labor I used to rub her stomach, it always relaxed her and she absolutely loved it. But right now Bella won’t even let me touch her. Mom says her timing is brilliant, because we are moving the RV on Tuesday and Bella will not be happy with us doing that right after she has kittens. Anyways, that is all right now, I will post pictures of Bella and the kittens after they are here. Ciao, Sara Belle
