I've smoked a bit of weed but I still can't completely relax.

Lounge post. Agreed.

a place in GD, too. Just skip posts if you don't care for them. That's my recommendation.

peace MM

Just skip over the post...

...and some people prefer the coffeeshop.

TYY

The Lounge isn't everyone's favorite DU forum. A lot of people, myself included, almost never go there at all. For anyone who doesn't use the Lounge, GD is a place they can post occasional personal things. It causes no harm, and anyone can simply skip clicking on a thread that talks about kittens if they choose.

I see lots of DU Recs for this thread. That means that people are enjoying it. I can't see any reason that it shouldn't be in GD, frankly.

n/t

Or pets.

which means they can be anywhere, on any forum, in any group, at anytime.

I have a Maine Coon that looks a little like that pretty girl.

Depending on how many she has, I'll probably be taking them all. My last cat passed away a few years ago and I'm ready to have some again... Gotta see how many she ends up with. I think I can handle as many as three but more then that would kind of be tough, just not enough space for all the litter boxes

If I didn't already have the Best Kitten in the Universe™ I would want one.

Gorgeous kitties

I plan on doing at least a few... I'll have to create a youtube channel or something so I can post them.

You got pics of the Best Kitten in the Universe™? I gotta see that!

She looks so happy and relaxed... Beautiful

My Spookie's a longhair tortoiseshell...

Nothing beats a kitten

My brother got his cat from a shelter and 'assumed' it had been fixed... heh, bad move to assume something like that. We will be correcting that soon

They got a pretty young girl from the SPCA and thought, "she must be happy, she's eating a lot and gaining weight..." She was "with kittens" when they got her. She had 4 kittens, 2 died (not uncommon with a young cat's first litter) and they kept her 2 surviving sons. All fixed and happy now.

Please neuter your cats and dogs unless you are breeding specifically.

I have neutered all my animals, even when they were purebred. We need to get a grip on this problem of unwanted animals.

Not to say the kittens aren't adorable. They always are, and that is part of the problem. But lack of education is the biggest problem.

My brother did not ask about it and was kind of just saying 'yes' to everything since it was the one his daughter wanted... heh, he just did not pay attention.

Thanks freshwest.

If so, there may only be two or three kits. Love torties!!!! Congrats.

My brother thinks she is done with just the two... I don't know, she still looks like there may be another. Anyone know how long it can take for her to birth all? It has been about 5 or 6 hours now since the first.

If she is still having contractions after six hours with no results you might want to call a vet. Complications are rare, however. You can tell if she is still having contractions by feeling her tummy or noting if she is straining. Also, I'm remember panting; queens tend to pant while in labor. Other than that, I'd Goggle it. More photos!!

I wish them long life.

My last cat, Animal, lived to be just shy of 18.

ohhh... She is screaming again... I wonder if another is coming

After decades of rescuing adult cats, 2 years ago I rescued a tiny calico kitten who wandered out of the woods behind my house. Gotta say, kittens are a special kind of fun. And maybe it's from having love and attention constantly lavished on her from such an early age, but she's retained her kittenish playfulness and joie de vivre!

She was fearless. heh, She liked to jump off of the chair and onto me like it was a game She would climb right back onto the chair just to jump again... Too funny

so I grabbed the box I'd prepared for her and put her into that in my lap. She ended up having four of them, all healthy.

It's a real compliment that your brother's cat wanted her kittens to be born someplace that smelled strongly of your brother. She felt safest there.

My brother is making a bit of noise about the mess but everyone can tell he is wicked happy she had to have them there... He knows they will go somewhere they feel safe and he does feel good about it... How could he not

5 babies and Momma on my feet.

... just thinking about them makes you smile.

We are a real happy house tonight

distinctive markings and unique coloring. Sometimes she likes lying on my computer table when I'm at the computer.

Cats do seem to love computers... My last cat liked to sleep on the keyboard sometimes.

Mom is beautiful. Look forward to more pictures!

or neutered. The shelters are full of adoptable cats living in cages.

And I hope you find homes for them all.

BTW, they look very nice.
