Spanking Head had her kittens last night (yes, her name is really Spanking Head) while Matilda and Freya and I watched with flashlights and a camera.
This is baby number three, who Spanky is licking in this picture, but then ignored for long enough that I rubbed it down with a towel and then gave it back to her. It found a boob and was fine after that.
We got to watch her eat the placenta of baby number three, just gobbled it right up while the baby lay there in his/her slimy little sack.
This is a picture of Matilda imitating the moment of birth when Spanky emitted a loud yowl.
It is hard to tell how many there are here, there are eventually four, but I think the last one is still inside.
The first three were all black, but the last one looks like Spanky.
I promise not to inundate you all with kitten pictures, but the birth was just too cool, especially the slime and the placenta.

That is so freakin' cool.
So neat. I grew up on a farm and saw this as a little girl all of the time. What an extraordinary moment in a child's life. I remember those times like it was yesterday. Thanks for taking me down memory lane. I love the picture of mommy with her babies. She looks so happy and peaceful. :)
