We recently got two new family members: Punk and Bear. Their mom, Penny, must've gone to the neighbour's cat when she was in heat, because our two males are castrated. (sorry boys) The anticipation was huge in the Bos' household. We've never had one of our animals give birth, so we were all over excited. After a while you could see kittens form in Penny's belly, and if she was lying down you could evven feel them move!
Then, on april 24th, she started miauwing, as if she was really in pain. We'd prepared a quiet corner in our 2nd bathroom, so she could give birth in peace, but she stayed with us troughout the whole process, and ended up giving birth in a dog's bed. It started with her licking herself continously, whilst squeeking for help and/or attention. We stayed with her, gave her soft towels and waited.
After less then half an hour, we noticed a teenytiny paw sticking out.
Soon the first kitten was born, soon after that came the second one, which is were my mom stepped in, as he seemed to be stuck. (photos are not included as they are quite graphic.)
They are both in great health.

A bit blurry, but this is Penny, their mom.
Also blurry, but here they started opening their eyes!
Look at her adorable annoyed face - Oh My Goodness stop taking pictures already!
