The day. The big day!!

I try to believe that she is just a heavy eater. She eats a lot and purrs all the time. I thought in the first place she may be on heat. But she did not even took a glance at my neutered prince. She just loves to eat. We feed our kids with IAMS kitten and she never left anything in her bowl. She just finished it all. We even send her for vaccinations. 


Until one day friend of mine pay a visit and try to convince me that she is pregnant! OMG! I just moved in to my new apartment and am still trying to adjust myself and the cat that i took in for less than 2 months is pregnant! i'm about to have babies of my cat! I dont know how i felt at that time.. a part of me is blooming happily but a part of me is full with worries. I have another 2 cats of mine. and i will have another kittens? So later i will have 6 cats? and i'm living in apartment! Yes I'm worried.


Day after day, and in no time her tummy is getting bigger and bigger and she become more friendly. Her appetite grew bigger and she eats more and more, until on this one Friday there was still kibbles in her bowl. Her tail is wet and i think her water just broke. So I brought her to my cat spa to shave her tummy. Back at home, i cage her with boxes and blanket to make her comfortable and feels safe. Every hour i check on her but nothing happen. On the 28th, Joey was so excited that the babies would have the same birthday as him. But again nothing happen. 


Next day, I started to worried and started doing more research. I know that she may faced a false pregnancy but the most thing i worried is if something goes wrong with the babies inside. Then after work i decide to send her to our vet for scanning but once i reach home she wanted me to stay with her in the bedroom. i went to my wardrobe but she insisted that i stayed with her.


After changed i lay next to her in my bedroom then she start to breath heavily..some fluid and a little blood started to dirt on the towel. and the first baby comes out in the sac struggling be be out. I try to calm my queen even i'm a lil panic because this is my first time faced this miracle of birth. Amarise look confuse. She even hissing at her baby. but after few minutes she smell the kitten and start to lick him up.


  My 2 other cat wait outside my bedroom. I just want Amarise felt safe and secure. Then Joey is back and come into the room. Then the second contraction is coming. She stop lick her 1st baby and she purring again. Another sac is out and Joey reach the second kitten to Amarise. 


The kitten is crying out loud and only be silent after been lick by Amarise. Amarise clean up the baby. She start to eat the placenta. I help up to cut the cord with clean scissor. We document the scene with Joey's iphone. My cat-fancy friend Ash also there for support. Amarise start to show her motherhood and start to nursing the baby. 

After 10 minutes she starts her 3rd contraction. Her breath getting heavily. She purring and this time the larger sac is out. The 3rd kitten is out. The baby is bigger than the other. She clean the baby and put the baby together with the 1st and 2nd one. 


She start to clean herself..
