Alright yesterday [ March 30th around 12:00 in the afternoon ] Dad got a job and was rushing out the door and told me to bring up toliet paper and put it in the bathroom... so i went down stairs, and well.. i probably should explain something before i continue.
When it was still winter dad had been feeding this stray we had just started seeing that month, so edventually dad moved the food closer to the house and the female cat got really nice to us, [ we think someone abanded her], so when it got -10 outside and colder dad let it in the basement cause it was just sitting in front of our door, so he said it was only for then, anddddd.... a little later we found out she was pregnate so we let her in the basement till she has the kittens then were going to find homes for her and them.
OkAy! now i can continue what i was saying before!
"Ahem"
[ March 30th around 12:00 in the afternoon ] Dad got a job and was rushing out the door and told me to bring up toliet paper and put it in the bathroom... so i went down stairs, and well, the stray cat wasn't on this chair we made her where she ALWAYS is, so i got a little worried and checked where her food
was, no cat.... so i started calling her and all of a sudden i start hearing meowing, then i see her and her back end is all wet and she's trying to rub against my legs, so i got no clue where the kittens are so i yell mom at the top
of my lungs and mom comes running down i'm like "Mom help me find the kittens" .... oooohhhh we found em all right they we're in a box with plastic bags that was super tall... it's like one of those card board boxes that you can hang stuff in it.. well anyways we had to pull the box out of that room because the lighting is horrible...
so we got the box right under a light still couldn't see very well so i ran up stairs to get a flash light, there we're already two kittens, so mom made me get all the plastic bags out cause the kittens could sufficate so.. there all wet and im discusted at this point, then she starts having kitty number 3.
Soo Mom's like Jessica watch this it'll be a good learning experience, I was more horrifide and disturbed rofl. so we got all the bags out, she wouldn't clean the sacks off the kitten till we left so mom decided we should go up stairs for awhile so i could take a shower then check on her again.
so i did just that, and i realized i think it was kitten number 3, "there was a total of 5 kittens right now" but number 3 wasn't moving much and earlier mom said one of them wasn't sounding right the way it was breathing, later that one died, "sniffle" he was a little deformed in the face so we pretty much know it was breathing problems and something we probably wouldn't have been able to help with,
So then Mom noticed the momma cat was shaking something fierce and we had to pull one side of the card board box down 1. she couldn't get out cause something was wrong and 2. if i tried to reach in and see what was wrong cause im a little taller then mom i would've fallen in and I'm 5'6,
so once we got it down enough where she could climb over we got some food and noticed... a kitten "calling him Yo-yo at the moment" So yo-yo was hanging from mom by the umbilical-cord "sorry if its spelt wrong"
and now we thought to was dead and i even checked their breathing the one from before, and a little black one, neither we're breathing, so mom called the vet He/she said if she didn't eat it off "Ewwieh......" we could have to tie it off and cut it, that job was appointed to me... when i was trying to get momma cat to lay down i heard a meow from inside the big box "we had transported all the living kittens to a different box" so i was like what the heck?! i checked both kittens breathing again and the little black one was breathing!?
How could that be? he was dead just 10 minutes ago and revived? i told mom and handed him to her, he wasn't breathing to well, so mom got a towel and rubbed him in it and blew on his face a little not cpr face to face but just like little blows on the face and everynow and then he's open his mouth as if to take a breath.
so then mom called her friend Natalie, and asked her to come to help us, so by this time the momma chewed Yo-yo's umbilical-cord off "YAYYY I didnt have to cut it" so then we brought them all up in my room with a heater cause in the basement its bone freezing, so... we brought her food, water litter box for momma cat, and a box with towels inside so she could sleep in it,
so she was first just sitting on my bed, then when me and my friend Ian went outside to bury the dead kitten mom came out and shouted to me "THE CAT GAVE BIRTH TO ANOTHER KITTEN ON YOUR BED"
Ian and I both looked up and im just like... "My bed?.........why my bed..."
so we have a total of five i'm not sure if this is correct cause a few of them look alike, and i might have counted one twice or didnt count one, so i "Think" there is 3 boys, and 2 girls. Yo-yo and Maricle "the black one who almost died" [ Note we may name change when they get personalitys" but they are the smallest and we still have to watch them =) also last night i got to stay up all night watching movies in the living room to make sure my cat didn't get in my room cause my door is kinda broken and doesn't close so we had to tie a rope to the doorknob and then the other end to the table, my cat hasn't tried to get in but momma cat has tried to get out.
I'll be posting picture's soon, i'd like to take a picture of each kitten alone in each of their growing sperts, 1 day old.... 5 day old 10 day old, Ect =)
OHHHH and i'm hoping for Maricle "the alllll black one" to have ocean blue eyes =)
