Kiki had her babies yesterday on the eve of the full moon, actually in the morning from 8am to 11am. She had 6. three are dark tabbies and 3 are gray. Of the gray kittens, 2 are dark gray and one is a lighter gray tabby. Marina is very excited and watch much of the birthing. Kiki's tummy was still quite large for her sleek size, so I kept expecting a couple more kittens to come out! Marina has learned to be very gentle and careful with the kittens. We got Kiki over a year ago from some friends when she was a kitten so handling animals has been a learning process for a while now. Checkout the video below of the birth
