A year ago, I had a female cat, who was very beautiful, basically white with brown patches and a very impressive face. One day she started behaving very cozily with me, licking my cheeks and nose and purring. I knew she was pregnant but the meaning of her licking/purring had not been immediately grasped by me. Suddenly she started having her pains and in a short while delivered one kitten right on my bed. She picked up the newborn, the natal cord, and the bag in which the kitten had been and went to the empty cupboard which we had prepared for her delivery. There she delivered her other kitten. All this happened in a few minutes. She was very devoted to her two kittens.
She was pregnant a second time when she was attacked by stray dogs in our compound. Before my wife rescued her she had been bitten in the neck. The Vet gave her a couple of injections. She seemed to recover but died soon, possibly because the foetuses must have died by shock, thus causing her death. Sad story. Cannot forget her.
