(17,276 posts)Some people think, oh I want my kitty to have one litter before her spay, so she can have the experience. They assume nothing will go wrong. But then it does. If this cat had not been rushed to the emergency vet for a c-section, she and all her kittens would have died horribly. The first kitten was deformed and too big to get through the birth canal, so after 2.5 hours of labor and no kitten, her caretaker rushed her in.
Two of the four kittens died and we hope the other two are okay. Mama cat went through her c-section and subsequent spay and is doing well, so they are hopeful that the worst is over now.
Imagine the bills for the average family if this had happened to them--the people I described above who just wanted to have one litter, either for the cat or so that their kids could see it happen.There are many many youtube videos if anyone wants to show their kids.
When I was much younger and had little kids, I was one of those people. Back before I knew better. I was lucky and my cat was okay and had her kittens with no complications.
