Kittens... lots of Kittens.

Today our cat Cali had seven kittens!!! Yes.... Seven! We kinda got stuck with her when we moved into our house but she ran away for about five weeks before we could get her fixed. We thought she wouldn't come back but she did come back... pregnant. 

So this morning she started acting weird and breathing really hard. She wouldn't hold still and I could tell she was getting stressed out. Finally I got her to lay in her box while she I petted her and she had contractions. Not long after that, while I was on the phone with my sister Christina, Cali popped out the first kitten. I freaked out a bit because the whole thing was sort of gross. To make a long and graphic story short: She had three more in the next hour and a half before I ran off to a short check-up at the doctors. When I got home there was another and I was certain that she was done and that five would be the number. About 20 minutes later another one came. 20 minutes after that I came back to pet Cali and give her some food. After about 10 minutes of sitting there I lifted up her back leg and found a sac with a kitten still inside just sitting there. I thought it was dead and that was why Cali wasn't getting it out but when I saw it move a bit I tried to push Cali's head toward it. Eventually I had to get a towel and pick it up and put it right by her head so that she would help it. Poor Cali was probably too exhausted to realize that she still had a kitten in a sac. 

Now all the kittens are doing great! I can't wait till they get cute. If anyone wants a kitten or knows of anyone who does then let me know... we can't keep them.

Here is Cali right after she had her second kitten. Sorry about the blood but believe me there were much more graphic pictures. (Let me know if you want to see the gross ones Richard... I can e-mail them to you.)

This is after number five. 

This is number six still all slimmy.

It looks like a wet dog. They are already cuter then when I took this picture.

Here are all seven. 

I know you're not suppose to pick them up but I couldn't help it... Don't worry, my wrists have already been slapped.

They are so cute... Don't you want one?

Here is a video I got of Cali having the fourth kitten. It's kind of graphic so if you get grossed out easily then don't watch it. At the end of the video I say "That's number five." But really it was only number four.
