Beetle had her kittens this morning, 7 of them!! This is the largest litter of kittens that any of my cats have ever had. Beetle started 2nd stage of labour at about 11pm last night, by 2:30am there really didn't seem to be much progress being made and I was close to ringing the vet, but as Beetle wasn't at all stressed I held off a little longer. The 1st kitten made its appearance at 3:10am, then she didn't hang about and followed up with another 6 in the next 3 hours.
All the kittens are a good size and as is expected for Beetle babies all are strong, active and feeding well. It's a bit of a scrum for the milk bar but Beetle has plenty of milk and after a few minutes they all settle down and as they all have nice round tummies they are obviously all getting their fair share.
A few quick pictures as I am struggling to stay awake and don't like to disturb a new family too much.
