***UPDATE***


Momma and the babies are doing great, after a quick paranoid visit to the vets I discovered that little Jezebel only had 2 Kittens. Neither of them have a name yet but they are 42 hours old so I don't think it will hurt them. They are known as kits to everyone right now until they are old enough to distinguish the sex.
As you see in the pic they are already complete characters, they are hugging each other whilst Mom watches, they are also very quite I have only heard them Mew once since they have been born Which I am not complaining about.
I have finally caught up on my sleep, I found myself unbearably over emotional yesterday which was the cause of the quick vet visit, but I at least know that they are all doing well and all seem to be "in the vets words" doing very well. I will try and keep the pictures coming.
Until next time...

We Have Kittens


Good Morning,
Jezebel gave birth to her first Kitten this morning at 1.20am. I knew that she was getting close when I got home last night, she became more clingy than usual and when I settled down for the night she was circling and trying to sleep but was disturbed by the smaller contractions.
When the contractions slowed a little I was petting her gently to relax her and she fell asleep. I began dozing off to sleep but was awoken by a Jezebel in the face. She was looking rather uncomfortable but insisted she lay on my stomach and fall asleep again. I began dozing again, I was a little worried she would give birth on my bed but once again Jezebel woke me and as I opened my eyes and moved a little she jumped into her box. She kept peeking over the edge to make sure I was following... I knew it was time!
I moved towards the box with my pillows and relaxed letting my wrist lay gently on the edge of the box so she could acknowledge my presence. I began dozing in and out of sleep and I found myself waking in 10 minute intervals, she finally got me up for good at around 1am when she meowed rather loudly. I turned on the lights and woke myself up.
The first kitten was a little difficult for her, but she was amazing, she meowed once and the rest of the time she took it like a woman... I was so proud. I saw probably more than I wanted to but my presence seemed to relax her a little in the process so I stayed close.
When the first kitten was born she did everything she was supposed to I was amazed the first thing she did was clean the kittens face.
After she became preoccupied with the kitten I tried to leave her to it and I lay down in bed again but she meowed for me so I moved back to her side. I finally was able to get to bed at about 3:30am after kitten # 2 was born and I woke up at 5am for work. (It's gonna be a good day!) I think something may have spooked her because before I went to sleep she began labor again but stopped abruptly and huddled the birthed kittens into a corner, With the peace and quite of a weekday I hope she successfully births the rest of the kittens today. That's if there are more!
As for me I am going to be guzzling energy drinks all day and trying to stay awake.
