Ditto - except our kitty birthed in the lounge room and ate all 5 placentas for all kittens (after each birth she ate the placenta - she had 30 mins+ b/w each kitten).
I'd heard the predator theory too, and also understand placenta very high in zinc - a mineral which helps both mother and babe remain calm, and excellent for the skin - helps prevent grazed nipples. Doubtless consuming placentas has many benefits. Having said that - I go for the zinc supplements instead... Jo> > > I watched our cat give birth to five kittens under the house years ago. She ate three placentas with gusto, managed to stomach the fourth and took a nibble at the fifth before turning away with a grimace as if to say 'I just can't' . > > Margie > > -------------------------------------------------------- -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
