I just wanted to clarify some things in this comment. I usually try to film the birthing process if it's possible, but my number one priority is always to focus on the mother cat. I set up the camera and leave it there. When Luna is calm and in between the births, I can take some time to film from more angles. I think it's very interesting to rewatch the video of the birth and it makes it easy for me to remember what happened and how it went. Hopefully, I can learn something from it until next time. I always debate with myself whether I should release the birth video here on KZbin or not. But I decided to do it this time. This video is definitely not for everyone, but some of you might find it interesting and fascinating. Maybe you can learn something from it too. Thanks for reading and I hope you feel that it's okay that I released the video. Luna and the kittens are looking very happy and healthy. More videos with them are coming soon 🙂

Thank you so much for posting the video. It was very interesting to see. I must admit I would be somewhat overwhelmed and full of fear that anything might go wrong. We loved your little help by holding Luna‘s leg and offering her support during the pressing ❤. Can’t wait to see more of these three little souls and Mama Luna and Papa Dexter. Ha! He has a new title now 😅

[@Ann64]

Birth is natural, and it was very special to see the kittens come into this world! Congratulations Luna and Dexter- and Human Dad, you are an amazing cat parent!💖😻🇨🇦

[@Dollypop22]

You did great helping Luna. You know what you're doing so ignore the negative!

[@user-jf4bx3jx9i]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!❤😊

[@MaineCoon1113]

So wonderful and emotional to see these newbies coming into their new world. I’m so glad you shared this special moment with us, I thank you kindly. You obviously know what you’re doing, and has works for many years. Luna and family are very fortunate to have you there for comfort and support.

[@skylilly1]

What a tender mommy. Getting her babies clean as soon as they come out keeping her paws up so they can feed. Bless her little heart. She did so good.❤

[@robingherasim55]

A very moving experience. Thanks for sharing it with us! 😻

I am so glad mother and babies are safe and healthy.

[@judithpearson3968]

Glad you released this video. Luna did a great job. She's such a good momma. Glad all the kittens were ok and that the kittens and momma are all doing well. Can't wait to hear their genders and names. Thanks for sharing.

The kittens are lucky to have Luna as their mother

[@Dollypop22]

Thank you so much for sharing live birth. We'll done mommy Luna!❤❤❤😊

[@williamriley-le9zo]

I'm glad you posted this. It has been decades since I last watched a cat birthing her kittens. I grew up in a semi-rural area and cats were not the only animals we saw give birth. When I asked if we shouldn't help in some way I was told " nature will work on its own course." It is after all, a natural process. I guess a little cat daddy help doesn't hurt though. She apparently trusted you and did not appear to be upset by your helping. Good work Luna and " Cat Dad." I'm sure it's a bit stressful for YOU also. Especially since you said you did not know how many kittens to expect. I'm surprised you didn't have an ultrasound from a pre-birth Vet visit. Looking forward to see this new litter grow, learn, & play. Kittens are so much fun!

[@andreamaria85]

She sounds like she’s in so much pain!😭

[@elizabethjrich4415]

God Bless all of your precious hearts. ❤❤❤

[@user-pw6cs1fn6y]

What a sweet video. I'm glad you released it, so we could all really appreciate what a wonderful mama Luna is. She did a great job & you did a pretty good job of "midwife" too :) Did you know how many kittens Luna was going to have, or was that a surprise? I hope Luna & the babies are doing well today. We are all looking forward to more videos & learning their names ❤

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

It was a surprise 😄 All of them are doing really well. The next video will be a new one of the kittens!

[@michaelbuettner99]

💖 Hard work for all mammals, such a birth. But Luna did a good job! Fortunately, she had good support from your expert hands. Warm greetings to the newborns and their rightly proud mom from Germany. 🥰🥰

[@mctaylor8465]

Luna is such a wonderful mom...i am so looking forward to see the kittens growing up!!..Dad, this video was so thoughtfully put together..it shows your care, love, and insure the safety of Luna and her kittens..🥰🥰🥰

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

Thank you 🙂

[@Linda77658]

It also shows how much Luna appreciates and trusts you. What a special relationship you have with her.

[@rabies7290]

This was absolutely beautiful. Please don't hesitate about posting a completely natural event for all of us not fortunate enough to experience it for ourselves. It would be nice if you could caption the elapsed time, to show how long the entire birth process actually takes.

[@DosSantos64]

Luna was strong and powerful when she was pushing. But she also have the best midwife by her side. 🤩 Congratulations! Thank you for sharing this special moment with us

[@raoulvolfoni1128]

Well done Luna, congratulations, have a good rest!

[@rickbuchanan611]

Hooray mom luna

[@RubyBegonia]

Brava Luna! You are a very brave girl who went into mamma mode without a hitch. Did the boys have any idea about what was taking place? All I could picture was Dexter pacing back and forth [as in the old movies] with Buster looking very confused. 😸😻

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

Haha, I don't think they noticed much 😆

[@Tekefes]

A real life golden goose.

So sweet. Mom sure gets right to business, eh? But she looks pooped. 😻 Thanks for posting this.

The PAIN. OF. CHILDBIRTH. I can’t imagine!

[@stefaniecallista5027]

Such an amazing and moving thing to see ❤ Did the others have any reactions to her cries?

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

Maybe when she screamed, but I didn't see their reactions

Congratulations. Luna is such a good mom. I thought that you would mate Dexter with Freya. Well, both Luna and Freya are good mom. I am so happy for you.

[@catherineferguson7646]

Dear Luna, she looks like she’s done this before.

[@billcosgrave6232]

I am curious as to how the others behaved while this was happening?

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

They were just relaxing, I don't think they noticed much 😅

[@originalismisacrock166]

1:25 So now we all know how to say "#$@& you, Dexter! This is all your fault!" in cat....

[@rabies7290]

😆

[@trixsta54]

The mother was already stressed out enough as is without you getting involved. It was disturbing to see you pulling at her leg as she clearly protested and cried out because she didn't want you touching her. Unless she was struggling and needed help (which she clearly didn't), please leave her alone and give her some privacy.

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

You have misinterpreted everything about the situation

[@caseybaker556]

She obviously did not want to be touched. It made me uncomfortable to hear her growl and someone giggling in the background at the situation. She isn't a toy, she's giving birth. Please let nature do it's thing.

[@trixsta54]

@@caseybaker556 agree 💯

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

@@caseybaker556 Like I have explained in other comments, she gets calmer when I'm close and she likes when I pet her. No one is giggling. It is painful to give birth and she growls if I don't touch her too.

[@trixsta54]

​@Maine_Coon_Kittens I have not "misinterpreted" anything. We breed Ragdolls in my house, and I am also a former Veterinary technician. I am well aware of cat behaviour and have seen many births and worked with cats for years. I know when a cat is in distress through experience, knowledge and jist plain commen sense. You obviously do not. She did not want to be touched by her obvious vocal protests. There is nothing wrong with your presence, but to touch her and pulling at her leg while she is already under a lot of stress is wrong. You obviously lack experience and knowledge. Educate yourself and do better.

[@gcrichman53]

I only saw one of the kittens born on this video.

[@darlamerrill8052]

I hope this is the last time for her.😢 I'm happy for the new 1s but u know she must be really tired .😊🎉

[@virvejalonen6724]

Cats carry their babies only about two months, and this time there were no bad surprises with the delivery. Luna is safe and healthy. She'll be fine.

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

It might be her last litter. But things are going really well. Luna and the kittens are looking very healthy and happy 🙂

[@mayacountess101]

Only 3 kittens? Isn’t that a small litter?

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

A little smaller than average, but not unusual

[@afrothunder8833]

I didn't know that they needed help

[@colleenhardy4554]

Let mom deliver and leave them

[@christenawalker2944]

I know you don't want to hear this but you should retire Luna. Birthing is difficult for her. A birth should be like Freyas quick with little fuss and she gave you a good range of colors.

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

This will lost likely be Luna's last litter, but I have not decided completely. Everything went well this time and it didn't take so long 🙂

[@Linda77658]

@@Maine_Coon_Kittenswhen you do retire her please, please keep her.

[@GhostbustersReturns]

Labor Pains!!!

[@karen-ec8yz]

How many litters has this cat had? Are you using her as a breeding cat? Please don’t show videos like this, if that is the fact.

[@karinvanlam]

Meine Katze hst so lange gewartet bis ich nach hause kam und mich zu ihr gesetzt habe. Aber ich habe sie nicht gestört Was ist das für eine Missachtung. Pfui

Вы меня извините, но может быть хватит уже зарабатывать на кошке, оставьте её в покое, зачем мучать!!!!!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

This cat appears undernourished and old

[@yayatheobroma929]

You shouldn't film births or interact with the mother when she is birthing, unless she is the one calling you to her. All mammals need privacy to birth, observing them and interfering hinders the process by messing with the hormonal surges and brainwave lengths.

[@Maine_Coon_Kittens]

There are lots of things that can go wrong, so of course I need to watch. She gets calmer when I'm close and she likes when I pet her, so I don't see the problem.

[@sarahmottram3369]

I agree....definite hands off if there are no problems

[@HRHPOW]

@@Maine_Coon_KittensThats right every animal differs, and I know there is a very strong relationship so making blanket statements about what your doing to support Luna is irresponsible and acting like a vet. Well done on the births Mr. Maine Kittens.❤

[@Dollypop22]

​Agreed. No harm was caused. She looked comforted. Exhausted but comforted ​@@Maine_Coon_Kittens
