Instead, she came up nest to me, purring wildly, then went into labor, and had me midwife the birth of three kittens -

a mama, until last night - she was lethargic, seemed a bit shocky - not used to her w/ empty eyes - and bleeding a fair amount.
I put an old comforter on the bed, in case she wanted to come back up, and fell asleep for a bit.
