Well, luckily I didn't have work today, so I practically sat with momma since 9 am until now (3 pm). My bathroom is big enough to make my own pillow bed. I have permanently installed a pillow in front of the nest because this hardworking little momma cat loves having soft fabric for once. I will be looking around for basically a dog bed to place in front of the closet door, I just need a paycheck or two to hit before I spend anything unnecessary.
Did you !animalposters know that until the kittens are 2 weeks old, after nursing, they have to have their bellies massaged so that they pee and poop 
AND the vet tech told me on the phone to put momma (Sheila) onto 3 to 4 cans of wet food a day. She either does 3 cans and a treat or 3.5 cans, and leftovers are part one of breakfast at 2 am.
Let me tell you all, when I say this cat has liquid death diarrhea, it's seriously gross and now that she just missed the litter box a little, I have a job to do...
See ya'll in the next installment of "Cats: Why the heck do I own 8?!"

You massage their bellies? I thought you had to get right up in their business to help them do their business

Has she tried to move them around yet? I remember mine would often move to a new location. She'd pick them up and carry them over one by one. Unfortunately she was terrible at math. Sometimes she would correctly remember that she had 3 kittens. Sometimes she would forget one and leave it behind. Sometimes she would think there was one more and go back to search for it. I don't know wtf that girl would have done without us.

On god ours needs ten personal assistants round the clock, too, when it comes to keeping those babies or herself in the nest together. She takes her time, she's so young and frail this cannot be easy for her. But she does a great job of picking everyone up and putting them in the nest for the most part. She doesn't move them much except to clean them anymore because she's very much in rest mode for today. I am so proud of them all
She loves her pillow so much that she's choosing to take small stretch breaks there and on her scratcher, but she knows to eventually show back up and check the kids out and reposition them. The kittens also need a lot of interventions during feedings so that the runt, Dean, eats first, and then the ones with weight on them can have at it while Dean goes to sleep

Yeah I'm thinking.
Or maybe it's a hallmark movie and a country boy just found kittens in his barn.
