One After Another

Fina hadn't considered the fact that there might be more than one kitten. It cried, "What? There's more?"

"Of course," Zhang Zian said. "Cats rarely give birth to just one kitten, they usually give birth to four or five kittens. Look at its belly, it's still swollen, and its contractions haven't ended."

The Abyssinian cat had been licking its kitten's fur to wipe off the amniotic fluid. As the amniotic fluid was washed away, the kitten's brown fur slowly puffed up, and it finally looked more like a cat.

The mother noticed the kitten's placenta and umbilical cord, and once again, had no idea know what to do.

Zhang Zian grabbed the scissors and pinched the umbilical cord, then cut it about half a centimeter away from the kitten.

After some hesitation, the mother ate the placenta in a single bite.

Fina had a look of alarm and disgust on its face.
