Gaia The Cat Beats April The Giraffe, Delivers Seven Kittens, Watch Live Cams

On March 13, 2017, the Inquisitr reported about a brewing feud between Gaia, the pregnant cat, and April, the giraffe. Both Gaia and April are internet sensations and star in their own live streaming cams. The race was set and many viewers picked a side. The question was who would give birth first, Gaia or April. With the reports from the Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville, New York, stating April was undergoing significant changes, it appeared that April would possibly give birth first. On March 14, 2017, Gaia welcomed seven kittens into the world, but unfortunately one was stillborn. You can watch Gaia’s live cam and April’s live cams below.

Gaia is a 4-year-old pet cat who is temporarily staying in a foster home while she takes care of her kittens. When they are old enough and given a clean bill of health, they will be adopted out. The live cam has been streaming since March 9, 2017.

The news that Gaia delivered a stillborn has caused many sorrowful reactions. There is very little censorship when watching live animal cams online. This is especially true when watching live cams from the wild. This means that when following a live stream, you’ll eventually be faced with a situation that leaves you feeling sorrowful, shocked, dismayed, or even angry. Though many mourn the loss of Gaia’s kitten, there are six reasons to be excited. The kittens are healthy, cute and are spending a great deal of bonding time with their mother. They are adorable and Gaia is proving herself to be a devoted mother.

You may see photos of Gaia and the kittens in the official photo album shared on the Critter Room Facebook below.

The Critter Room YouTube channel has chat enabled, and many people are participating in lively discussions about Gaia and her litter of kittens. While there is no denying a wave of sadness swept over the birth with the stillborn kitty, the remaining kittens are bringing plenty of joy to those watching.

While the Critter Room didn’t live stream Gaia’s actual birth, like is expected for April, the giraffe, the video will soon be available and added to the playlist.
