Meet Milo & Henry.
These little guys are Maddie's latest kittens.
They were born on June 1, 2012 at 1:00 am...at least Henry was.
Not sure about Milo. He arrived sometime between 1:30 am and 6:30 am.
I actually had a dream a couple of weeks before they were born and in the dream she had her kittens the weekend that Jenni was to be married. I was a little stressed thinking that this would happen while we were all gone for the weekend. Maddie is really old and I wasn't sure she would make it through the birthing process. As Greg says, it is like a 90 year old woman giving birth. However she surprised us all and pulled through.
Anyway, my dream was right. They were born the night morning before the wedding. Around 11:00 pm Maddie started meowing like crazy and would not leave me alone. I realized this was going to be a long night, so I made her a comfortable bed in the family room and laid down with her and just kept petting her. Yep, I was her birthing coach.
Josh was there with me and to keep him busy I had him Googling "what happens to cats when they give birth". He was pretty grossed out. At one point I told him that he needed to take my place and help her breath (totally kidding). I told him to just go "hee hee whooo, hee hee whooo" hahahaha! He was not amused but I was giggling.
During this process Jenni got home and upon realizing what was happening began to dry heave. Serious? And then at 1:00 am when Maddie popped one out she really had issues. I can't wait to hear all about her first birthing experience someday.
These little dudes are now spunky little kittens. We already have a home for one and the other I will be positing on KSL. Thankfully I have never had a hard time finding homes for these critters. In the meantime, Aubri has discovered them. She loves to "crawl" over to them and squeeze pet them. Thankfully they can run a lot faster than she can crawl.
