Kuro

Kuro is a very young and beautiful Black cat, or should I say kitten, She is still so small, and last night on mothers day, she went into labor.

Funny thing about it she wouldn't do it without me there. She would come out of her spot look at me and meow. As I followed she climbed back in, doing this a few more times I finally sat down with her and held her tiny little paw telling her it was going to be just fine and what a great mom she would be.

Not 15 minutes later she began pushing, I almost teared up seeing how much pain she was in, her cry was broken and painful. 20 Minutes later her first kitten arrived, she immediately began to lick the placenta off. The kitten is a dark Grey almost black with a white stomach.

She kept going delivering three more kittens. I was hoping for a liter of three, she had four.

1- Grey, white stomach
2- black and Grey stripes
3 & 4 - Black Orange and white-Calico.

They are feeding fine and the mother is doing just great.
I have a lot of names to think of. And Homes to find them.
