Cats are pregnant for roughly 9 weeks (but can be a little longer or a little shorter), so she will likely give birth around the first week or two of May.

Looks like coat color and pattern are brown mackle tabby. The "breed" is likely just domestic short hair, meaning she was just a domestic cat with short hair, not any actual breed or mix. Unlike dogs most cats are just random bred domestics, not any specific breed or mix of breeds. Domestic...

Since "bernedoodle" is really not a breed yet it's really just a mutt or "hybrid" that you happen to know the mix of. There hasn't been enough generations of bernedoodle to bernedoodle yet to produce the exact same "breed standard" result every single time, though the more generations the more...

Unless you got the two boys from a breeder as well they are likely just domestic short hairs, not any specific breed. Tabby and tuxedo just describe coat pattern, which is common in the general domestic population have those patterns, not specific to any breed. Eye color also has nothing to do...

It takes cats time to settle in to a new home, like a few days to a week or more, not just a few hours. Did she know you before you got her? Since you say they weren't affectionate with her where they people you know and so you already had a bond with the cat? If not the fact that you are scared...

Not really to me, they are just the longer fur on the ears like most long haired cats, and ones that carry the longhair gene have, not the lynx tip ear tuffs that Maine coons are known for. However not all Maine coons get long lynx tips, especially ones that are more the original look (and not...

I don't know about Abyssinians fur specifically but I do know diet can play a huge part in fur quality. Things like dehydration, malnutrition, and not getting enough of certain oils in their diet can all cause the fur to be course. If that is the case here then simply being fed a good quality...

Most of my cats I didn't choose, so I'll just stick with the ones I actually picked otherwise I'll be writing a book. :lol: I had a couple cats when I was a kid but the first cat I got was from a shelter when I moved out on my own (well sort of, I rented a room in a house so I had roommates)...

I would keep in mind those DNA tests are really "just for fun" when it comes to breeds, they can tell you what breeds the cat is most similar to but not actually what breed(s) it is for sure. So for example your cat shares 22% genetic ancestry with Maine coons and 11% genetic ancestry with...

Domestic cats can range in size a lot based on genetics, it's like saying what is the size of a human. You can have everything from small dometic cats that are less the a foot long, to big ones that are 2-3 feet long. Length is measured from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail, and does...

I currently have 11 cats, and their personalities are all over the chart, but a few do act similar, they are currently 4 years old and although they have calm down some they still often literally climb the walls. They are just higher energy cats, so I try to keep any picture frames in areas they...

I don't know any independent artist that do it, but there are two companies I know of that do custom stuffies of your pets. Both are quiet expensive though (hundreds of dollars), so I haven't tried either. Both can also make several other items as well with your pet's image on them for much...

Aside from dust and/or pollen, my cats are shedding right now, and sometimes they end up inhaling a strand of fur up their nose, especially from the long haired cats, either when grooming themselves or others grooming them. Getting a hair up their nose obviously is going to cause them to sneeze.

Yeah, I think the reason for the range in time is every cat is different, so having milk isn't a good indicator, other then "getting close/into the final stage" lol. Things like age, health (physical and mental), diet, number of litters they've had, and genetics likely can all play a part in the...
