Welcome to the world, new itty bitty kitties! You should know now, kittens, that your birth had some ups and downs, some worrying moments, some medical scares, but you got here, and you're in good hands - with one of the most adorable, derpiest, and cutest cat mommas in the whole world.
The whole internet was enthralled by this birth, watching every step of it, rooting for the kitties and their mom, and finally - finally - KittensForDays's perma-blep momma gave birth. And yes, it was just as adorable as you imagine. So, thank you for sharing your story with the internet and making us smile, and we hope sharing it with more people will bring smiles to them as well.
"Just picked up the cutest pregnant mama cat to foster. She's a bob-tailed calico and has a permanent blep. And MAN does she purr! I love her already! She's due any day now, so I'm getting excited for kittens! Name suggestions for her and her babies are always welcome"
"Kittens are coming TONIGHT!! Good thing I didn't take my sleepy-time medicine yet. Wonder how many she'll have?? This is so exciting! Think my boss will let me call into work tomorrow because my foster cat gave birth? That's a thing, right? Update: boss gave me the day off, just asked for kitten pics first!"
"Mama finally popped out her first baby, looks like a little calico girl! She's such a good mama, knew exactly what to do. Wonder how many more are in there?? I'll do a final post when she's done giving birth, I'm just so excited the first one is finally here! Update: sorry this took so long, we had a bit of a medical scare"
"But after about 45 minutes, I noticed that there was a sac hanging out of mama, and no new contractions were happening. I got worried that her next baby was stuck, and knew I had to act fast. I rushed her and the babies to the vet."
"Turns out, the placenta from the second kitten had gotten stuck and mama needed a shot of oxytocin to start the contractions again to expel it. And she only had those two girls, no other kittens! Tiny litter for a tiny mama!"
"And now the happy family is back at home! There was a theory that mama's perma-blep was pregnancy related, but I'm happy to announce it's still here, so it may be a truly permanent blep! I am so tired but relieved that everyone is happy and healthy. Thanks for taking this journey with me, Imgur! (Edit: for those of you who were wondering, my boss did give me the day off, he just wanted to see some cute kittens pics and then said "You're a grandma! Enjoy your new grand babies, see you Wednesday.")"
