Update on the cat birth?

Wow! A purebred Scottishfold came a dropped 11 kittens? Hmmmm That's incredible. That's just an incredible story. Yo should seriously write a story about that. First of all it boggles my mind that a Fold just walked in and decided to pick you. Lucky you! Next 11 kittens is unheard of. Really. I'm a cat breeder. I've dealt with some LARGE litters. Usually a cat will hold 4 on each side of her uterus horn MAX That's eight kittens. She has a total of eight . That's a HUGE litter. You most likely lose one or TWO, ESPECIALLY with purebreds. There are always exceptions, of course. But even for the seasoned breeder, isting with delivery it's difficult. For a novice or a mother, delivering on her own...I would expect at least one kitten loss. Also For a cat in the wild to come across another of the SAME breed and propogate more "folds"....what are the chances? Have you checked to see if anyone is missing her? Are you uming they are Scottish folds because their ears aren't perky yet?...lol A Fold is actually a genetic mutation that results in crinkled cartilage around the ear. Fold Kittens are born with Straight ears and don't show a fold until later...and you have to know what you are looking for. If they are just "floppy" that is a normal kitten ear....not a "Scottish Fold" kitten, sorry....don't mean to dissapoint. You seem very kind to have gone to the trouble of taking everyone in. Good luck with everything! If you have that many kittens...be sure to look out for skinny back-bones and don't hesitate to supplement with kitten formula if anyone starts to get skinny!
