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! She had two kittens: https://imgur.com/gallery/XzYDBJt

Oxitocin for the win! Works for human contrations, works for cat contractions, works for turtles laying eggs.
zivathesworddiva
Absolutely a thing!

Little mama!!! You can do it!! THEN POST KITTEN PICS
MarieMacho
My mom let me come home early from summer school math because our stray cat gave birth in my dresser. It's a legit reason imo.

If your boss isn't ok with it, your boss isn't ok with me.
KittensForDays
Haha he gave me the day off!
Imstillinbed
Oh that looks painful. Good luck!

Good luck! When my cat got her contractions I carried her to a box lined with towels for her to hide.The party started in about half an hour
Silvergreylion
I read that as contradictions at first.
softlittlebite
Aaaack!! So exciting. Need new kitten pics.

Ooo... I've seen this before. This is the part where the alien bursts out of the stomach and skitters across the floor and kills someone.
TrueFactGiraffe
That cat is like 90% uterus
FatboyRich
Are you SURE they’re hers?

dannygrooves
seriously, to hell with bosses that don't understand real life situations
KittensForDays
I sent him pics and he gave me the day off!
4thStateOfMatter
One of our special needs cats just got up, walked across the room, booped your post then went back = clearly he is impressed
KittensForDays
Haha well I’m glad to have engaged him in this birthing process! Give him a boop for me!
mrshihtzu
Kitty needs to take big deuce... why you filming kitty... bring me souls.
KinetoPlay
Just say you had a family medical emergency. It's not a lie, and they'll assume something they think is reasonable
KittensForDays
Haha he actually gave me the day off after I sent him pics!
Fairemont
Yeah, just had seven babies pop out gonna need a day.
DoakMD
Favourited so I can come back for kits.
KittensForDays
Update added!! :)
AliWaterson
Stop filming her and get her a towel!!
Fairemont
And maybe a mop
EmberRingtail
Kitty: why are you taking my toilet away?

@op tell them you're taking sick tomorrow for a medical issue. They don't need to know details.
Fairemont
It's... A medical issue of sorts? Just not yours.
BishlamekGurpgork
Exactly. I don't believe you can deny sick leave, and I THINK you're not even entitled to ask what it's for - most you can do is ask for
BishlamekGurpgork
documentation that you had a visit. I work as a fed, though, so our rules may be different than most US laws.
MadameRainbowPants
She’s such a beautiful kitty!
mmc9000
I can feel those contractions just watching it, poor girl!
DeKetsendeRechter
Yeah I ate that bad once, too
ThatDudeDev
Whew me too. And I'm a dude.

I've watched several cats give birth over the years. It's gross and takes forever. Just like people births. But with more placenta snacks.
KittensForDays
That is a delightful way of putting that, thank you :)
jenw
I was very young the first time I saw it happen. The moment should have come with a warning.
KittensForDays
My first mama cat who gave birth in my house had 8 kittens. She was positively stuffed after eating all that...detritus
jenw
I just noticed your user name. Very fitting
KittensForDays
Haha thanks! I chose carefully :)
DingoMatt
'placenta snacks' It would have cost you nothing to not say that. You had me in the first half, ngl.

Then neuter her after that .. Please!
KittensForDays
Promise!
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
*Spay. Males are neutered, females are spayed. Please look up the terminology so you sound smarter to people in RL; it's fascinating. ^_^
NoneUserNameNew
Thanks for correcting this, I am better in French!
DigYourselfBaby
Hello. Saw your bitchy comment so am here to tell you 'spay' is female, 'neuter' applies to both male & female. Now you can sound smarter.

She has a good safe place to give birth I hope.
ChickenChickenBurningBright
yeah, right on the hardwood floor.
AnApologeticCanadian
I'm just wondering if it hurts them as a much as it hurts humans. She seems tired but calm.
venomlash
Human births are difficult because of how large our infants are, and how fucked about our pelvis is for bipedalism.
haitamimama
And drama
Helioture
They do yelp once the kittens start to come out, but it doesn't seem like the same degree of pain. Source: Helped many cat births
Clockworkdancerobot
Cats are also VERY good at hiding pain and injuries.
KittensForDays
Oh yes, she has her choice of three enclosed areas with soft blankets in my kitten room, but seems to be happiest right on the floor
ElbowDeepInUserSub
Our cats would usually ignore those spots, in favor of my lap.
boobsandcake
I'm not a cat-owner, but would that have anything to do with her wanting to be near the nice humans? I hope everything goes well, good luck!
KittensForDays
I have noticed that the birthing mama cats in my life have wanted to be near me, even going so far as to give birth in my lap! You’re right!
greyspears
yeah like giving birth in a frying pan in the cupboard.
boobsandcake
Story time?
DonkeySauceBukkake
Cats never lay on what is intended for them. Plus they like cold fat surfaces.
Khelan2050
So a few big northerners should do?
WastelandofWhat
Gave me a chuckle as I lay, face half in pillow.
Agrotere
I was gonna say, I bet she likes the smooth and cold aspect. :)<3
DonkeySauceBukkake
My cats all take turns sleeping on the bathroom floor, the bathroom sink and the bath tub. I don’t blame them; I love a cold pillow.
