Hi all,

our kitties are 3 days old now and both are thriving, I'm quite sure they are both male. Fizz is an excellent mummy, and has pretty much lived in our bedroom since giving birth.

Occasionally I pop in and she is sat outside the box just gazing lovingly at them. I didn't expect her to be constantly snuggled up, but just wondered how often our other new mums leave 'the nest'?

I think she is missing our evening cuddles in front of the TV, lol, (as am I) but she can't bear to be in a seperate room.

Normally (I have read) the mumspends 90% of the time with the kits. Can you move the box for them to all be with you?

Thanks for the reply, I tried bringing the box down last night, but Fizz promptly picked up one of the kittens and ran back up stairs She seems happy, but tonight she seems to be coming down more frequently but dashes back up after about 5 minutes (or less)

Also, the ginger one (first born) is often quite twitchy after feeding and has his mouth open, is this just hicc-ups?

I have two sisters and when they gave birth, Lilo the bigger one was so extremely maternal she was with her babies constantly, whenever they were being handling she would come sit by me purring all the time and just watch and reassure her little ones.
However Stitch, was the opposite, don't get me wrong she was a good mum but was only with her kittens when the needed feeding, toileting a wash and overnight, other than that she was downstairs. But if i was in my room she'd be there! It was just that she wanted me with her! But it was impractical for me to be there 24/7.
Congrats on your little babies and well done to Fizz

She seems to be a great mum. xx
