At one point she even complaint while having a contraction and I immediately picked her up and put it in her basket. The minute I put her down the first kitten came out. She wanted to give birth on top of me. When she finally realized that she was on her own on this one, she stayed in the basket for the next 3, but I was right next to her with my hand on her all the time. The following night she got busy again and picked up all 4 kittens and brought them to my bed. She laid them all on my belly again and went into her crate. She gave birth to a stillborn kitten. Is amazing how smart this animals can be.She raised them in the house, but she liked to go outside, so any time she wanted to go out, she would bring me the kittens to my lap. She broke my heart one day. We found homes for all her babies when they were about 12 weeks old. I gave birth myself. Emmanuel was born premature and super tiny. We brought him home a week after birth, and he sounded like a kitten himself. Every time he cried she jumped on the crib and tried to nurse him. I had to get her out of the crib each time. three days after he came home she asked to go out and didn't come back. We went out to find her. She was living in a barn nearby. I kept bringing her home but she kept leaving. My neighbor said he would take her if she wanted to be there. I took her to get fix so she didn't have to go through this again. She was such a good mama.
