Re: Chips has had her kittens....

This is really good news - I was thinking about you last night funnily enough!

The weights are really good, the fact that they aren't making much noise is a good sign that all is well & they are getting all they need from mum.

It sounds as though everything is turning out well. If you get a chance have a gentle feel of mums tummy, but by now it may be obvious if there are more to come (her size may have gone down noticably). I know it's tempting but I would now leave her to it, just checking twice a day to ensure Mum has food, water & a clean litter tray. A good sign is if mum is eating well, as this should mean that the kittens are feeding well and she's keeping up her energy & milk flow! When you do check on her - say morning & night check her teats are ok, as in not hard, hot or overly swollen (mastitis).

This is really great news, don't worry about photos I know how hard it is at this age!
