Fina didn't take into account the fact that there was more than one cub in the female cat's belly, and was shocked when she heard this: "What...... What? It's still going to give birth?"

"Of course. Zhang Zi'an replied affirmatively, "You cat people rarely give birth to only one litter, and most of them are four or five." You can see that its belly is still swollen, and the contractions have not ended, which means that it will continue to give birth. ”

The female Abyssinian licks the fur of the cub from head to tail, licking the amniotic fluid brought in the womb clean, so that the fur that was originally clinging to the cub's body stands up in a handful, and finally looks like a cat, and the chocolate-colored fur is beginning to appear.

Upon licking to the back, the female cat notices the pup's placenta, as well as the umbilical cord that connects the placenta to the pup, again confused and overwhelmed.

Zhang Zi'an picked up scissors, pinched the umbilical cord to prevent blood return, and then cut the umbilical cord about half a centimeter away from the cub to give a demonstration to the female cat.

After a little hesitation, the female cat instinctively ate the purple-red placenta in one bite.

Fina suddenly looked shocked and disgusted.

"It's to replenish your strength. Zhang Zi'an explained, "It is very difficult to give birth to kittens, and it will be dangerous if you are not physically exhausted. ”

There is a lot of nutrients in the placenta, and eating the placenta is also a habit handed down by cats since ancient times, after all, wild cats cannot be cared for and fed by someone when they give birth.

However, the placenta should not be eaten too much, and if you eat too much, you may have diarrhea.

Zhang Zi'an took the canned cat food prepared in advance, and prepared to wait for the next cub to be born and let the female cat eat the canned cat food to replenish her strength.

The cubs grew more and more energetic, squealing milkily with their eyes closed, and puffing up their pink noses to look around for the smell of their mother.

Zhang Zi'an touched the bottom of the cardboard box, and the temperature of the electric blanket came up, so it shouldn't catch a cold, but he still used a paper towel to further absorb the remaining body fluids on the cub and the saliva of the female cat.

The female cat picks up the cub that can't find the north and puts it next to her body, and the cub lies down and starts to drink.

Fina stared curiously at the cub, which was about the size of a large mouse, and stretched out a front paw to touch it, but the female cat, who had always been respectful to Finah, blocked its paws and stared at Fina with fear in her eyes.

"This female cat is very maternity, I'm afraid you'll hurt the cubs. Zhang Zi'an was worried that Fina would be angry, so he quickly explained.

Fina was indeed a little angry, but it was not aimed at the female cat, "Why did you let you touch it, not Hongu to touch it, aren't you afraid that you will hurt the cubs?"

"Well...... Zhang Zi'an really didn't think about this question, but it can probably be guessed that because Fina is also a cat, the same kind is more likely to hurt the same kind. Another reason is that he wears rubber gloves and does not leave his own scent on the cub, and if he touches the cub with his bare hands, the female cat may not recognize the cub, let alone the cub with the smell of other cats.

The birth interval between the pups varies from a few minutes to an hour or two. Zhang Zi'an explained the situation to Fina and asked it to go back to sleep first, there was no need to wait all here, it couldn't help anyway.

Unexpectedly, Fina, who usually likes to sleep the most, glared at her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "What does it mean that this palace can't help? It is precisely because this palace is here that its delivery is thrilling!"

For this cat who is good at self-frying chicken, Zhang Zian is speechless.

During the renovation of the shoe store, the soundproofing was strengthened, but the sound of fireworks and firecrackers continued to be heard outside. The sound of firecrackers starts at around midnight, peaks at around midnight, and then gradually subsides, but never stops.

Zhang Zi'an had calculated the due date before, and it was estimated that it was around the Chinese New Year, so even if the female cat was disturbed by the sound of cannons, it should not be considered premature. Premature pups are congenitally deficient and struggle to survive even with great effort from their owners.

The female cat settled down for a few minutes, then put her head between her hind legs and licked it soundly.

Zhang Zi'an perked up and reminded Fina: "It's going to give birth to a second one again." ”

Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, a wedge-shaped little head was laboriously squeezed out of the mother's body - this time it was lucky, it was a smooth birth, and probably there would be no danger.

The female cat has the experience of the first cub and seems to be a little impatient, and before the cub is fully born, she begins to lick the amniotic membrane from the mouth and nose part of it, so that it can breathe air as soon as possible.

The smooth delivery went smoothly, and the little guy with a smooth amniotic membrane wrapped around his body broke away from his mother and came into this world in less than half a minute.

The female cat skillfully licks it from head to tail, licking the amniotic membranes and licking the dry hair. When it wanted to eat the placenta again, Zhang Zi'an's rubber gloved hand grabbed the placenta in his hand first, then cut the umbilical cord, wrapped the placenta in toilet paper, and threw it away after the event.

It stared at his hand with regret and confusion, and kept meowing, as if to say, "That's mine, why don't you let me eat it?"

Zhang Zi'an opened the canned cat food and put it to its mouth, replacing the placenta to replenish its nutrition and physical strength.

After getting the delicious canned cat, the female cat quickly forgot about the placenta and ate the boiled tuna in the can.

Looking out of the window, at this time, few residents in the opposite community are still lit, but almost half of them are still lit today. According to past experience, the Spring Festival Gala is coming to an end, and it's time to float out the singing of "Unforgettable Tonight".

This night was also particularly memorable for Zhang Zi'an, this was the first time he delivered a female cat, and it was quite rewarding to see the two cubs snuggled in the arms of the female cat safe and sound.

After the female cat gave birth to two kittens, almost twenty minutes later, there was still no sign of further delivery.

The lights in the opposite community were extinguished one after another, marked by the end of the Spring Festival Gala, and most people's New Year's Eve was over, but Zhang Zi'an's night had just begun.

"Is it finished?" said Fina, impatiently.

Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "I'm not sure, just wait, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep first." ”

"Let's just say that this palace is not sleepy!" Fina glared.

"Good. Zhang Zi'an didn't argue with it, sat down against the wall by himself, and pillowed the back of his head against the wall, "You can take a nap while waiting." ”

With that, he closed his eyes. The delivery room is very warm, so you don't have to worry about falling asleep and getting cold.

Fina tried to hold on, but after waiting a little longer, the female cat still showed no signs of continuing to give birth, so she yawned a lot and found a place to lie down, intending to squint a little.

It is not completely asleep, and from time to time it opens its eyes to look at the female cat, but it does not open its eyes more and more often......

I don't know how long it took, just when it was half-asleep and half-awake, it suddenly heard Zhang Zi'an say: "The third is born!"
