The new kids are so shy and clinging to each other I can’t get a proper pic. They are eating and potty g though so that’s good. One brushed her hand against Jim’s while he was sleeping last night though so they are Venturi g out when they feel it’s “safe.” No repeat of the bed wetting from the other night fortunately though. #FosterCats

UPDATE: The videos of the kitten birth is now available, including the narration voiceover of the knowledgeable rescuer and the moments right after each birth, where they quickly kidnap the kitten and bloodtype them!.

Spoiler: Thank goodness all six kittens were bloodtype B, as is the mommacat. 😌

Cat Fosters, Rescuers, cat people, if you feel like watching a live birth of kittens, tune in right meow to:

Pregnant feral rescue cat "Smudge" (at Tinykittens HQ in Canada) is in labor at the moment, and giving birth to her final litter of kittens (before they're all spayed/neutered too) -- live on their Youtube stream!

❗ The ongoing voiceover of rescuer Shelly Roche of TK is especially interesting to folks involved in cat rescue and cat fostering, for she talks about bloodtyping the kittens right after birth, to prevent a fatal condition called Neonatal Isoerythrolysis in the newborns.
This is caused by a mismatch of bloodtype of mama and kittens.

And here were are. Five little ones: a solid black one, two brown-gray tabbies like Mom, and two blue-gray tabbies. The blue-gray ones remind me a lot of my Anastasia and Windsor. One of the brown-gray tabbies is a bit small, which is not totally out of the ordinary (queens can mate over the course of a few days, leading to kittens in the same litter being conceived a few days apart), but I’ll be keeping a close eye on that one. Mary is being a great mom, though with the casualness of someone who has done this before.

Mamacat Status: Still baking. The kittens (and maybe her, depending on temperament) are going to be at a cat cafe that’s part of a bookshop so I think I’ll do some classic author names for this batch. So here is Mary Shelley.
