Actually, by feeling her stomach, after the third one arrived and cleaned up, I felt around Panther's stomach area to see if there were anymore kitties, it seems like a possibility of two more...at least I do know that there is one more waiting to 'meow' its way out and also, after watching Panther's stomach closely and sure enough, more movement....

Interestingly, the second kitty was breached (born with its rear coming out first) and watched Panther licking where Panther probably assumed was the kitty's head...a few minutes went by and finally I took a small washcloth and rubbed the kitty's face, peeling and pulling off the sac so the kitty could breathe. Then several minutes went by and noticed how this kitty was breathing, it was raspy...therefore, I picked up the kitten and did a manuever swinging the kitten up and down from my knees (short up and down movement)...sure enough, then the kitten 'meowed' and was relieved the kitten was fine...and I eventually had to do it once more and once again, the kitten meowed and moved....doing this manuever helps make sure the lungs are cleared. Kind of a nice feeling knowing that this kitten's life was saved and doing well now.

At this time, Panther is obviously very tired and worn out, totally exhausted...I am sure once she gets a bit of rest, she'll then gather what strength she needs to get the next kitten out.

Until later-- for now.

Latest update:

Still three wiggly, squirming cuties as blackie or smokey, tiger (blk. stripes) and a greyish black that are constantly bobbin' their little heads up and down, sideways, ever which way just to get at momma's milk. Quite a sight to just watch that! Panther's completely worn out and she just lays there and hasn't bothered to move around or leave the box. From time to time, I'll wake her up just to be sure she isn't so out of it and pet her around her head....

After she had her third one...and the third one was cleaned up, I did noticed some movement within Panther's stomach and a couple of contractions....since then, nothing...and that has been several hours ago now....by morning, I'll get Panther up and see if she'll move some and eat too...if it doesn't look good, then we'll take her to the Vet to see whether she still has any more babies that hasn't come out yet. Otherwise, it's been such a long day...constantly being beside her, watching those cuties climb over one another, etc.

There, I think that covers it unless ^Angel^ has anything else to add. But then again...*looking up--* wondering just how does she keep up with all the dancing and being sooo excited?!

Hmm...I can't help thinking that we're being called grandparents....oh well, I don't mind, at least these grandkittens won't be asking us for $$ !!

It's a little hard telling whether there could be one more or not...that remains to be see...that is after I checked her stomach.

The last one is more greyish colored--Hmm...Ash? Will that be the name?

She will get an award from us grandparents soon as she gets well and alot of rest


I forgot to add that Roadrunner did an amazing job helping the mother cat with her birth of kittens, I'm just glad he is here and I wouldn't even know what to do without him...I should call him Dr Roadrunner for now on LOL

But hey, who's complaining, afterall, I got a cute nurse assistant here-- Although, getting her help sometimes can be a hectic thing to do, simply cuz she's been flyin' and dancin' high up on the clouds lately....

It was a wonderful experiences watching the birth of kittens, I had fun and RR did a wonderful job too..

I kept petting her head the whole time, and she was so loving, and I think grateful that she wasn't alone during the birthing process. It's an experience you and Roadrunner will never forget.

You both did such an excellent job with helping Panther and her kittens. You should both pat yourself on the back for an awesome job!!!
