How are kittins born?

Kittens are born as part of a process called queening, which occurs when a female cat (queen) goes into labor. After a gestation period of about 64 to 67 days, she gives birth to a litter, usually ranging from one to six kittens. The kittens are born in amniotic sacs, which the mother typically breaks open to help them breathe. Once born, the mother cleans them and encourages them to nurse for essential nutrients and bonding.
