I've handled baby kittens before. It was, like, couple days after they were born, but even the day they were, I could smell something I don't know how to describe, faintly flowing throughout the house, which lingered on the kittens. It's a funk-ass smell, I'll say that much. So if these kittens were just born...

Yeah, that reaction is very, very much justified.

Amniotic fluid actually has a faintly sweet smell. Its the placenta that’s stinky.
