Some lowlife left a box with what appears to be 1 or 2 day old kittens in my car this morning. There are 2 of them and I am beside myself with worry. I've never had to bottle feed anything this young before. I have a momma cat here who still lets her 3-month old kittens nurse so I was hoping...

Just because you do not want an adult dog doesn't mean that what I said was untrue. You CAN tell what they like, dislike, etc when they are fostered for a few months. That is the whole purpose of fostering. You quickly learn what their quirks are because you live with them day in and day out...

You can't raise a puppy to be the way you want any more than you can raise a child to grow up and have purple as their favorite color. There are absolutely NO guarantees that a puppy will not grow up to become aggressive, have a high prey drive, be destructive, etc. If that were the case, we...

thanks for all of the non-help. I believe that she is not pregnant and is in heat at the moment. This was based on my many hours of online searching last night and her behavior today. I guess the good news is that there won't be more kittens introduced to the world.

it's 3:30am and she is still chirping away. One of my cats is sitting on the other side of the door and the 2 of them are scratching on each sides and smacking each other's paws. She looks like she just settled down for a nap so this may be my cue to go back to bed too!

I believe she is in the early stages of labor. She's been pacing all around her room since at least 2pm this afternoon. She's also been continuously meowing and chirping. I was sitting in with her for awhile and she was rolling around on the floor and wanting me to pet her. We're going on 7...

I am. I thought Snowflake was due last week but the clinic I'm fostering her for emailed me over the weekend and said that now they think it'll be NEXT week. so we're waiting.

UPDATE: The clinic contact emailed me today and said that she came in around 3/14 and should be delivering around 4/14 or so. That makes more sense since she looks still pretty small. I guess we'll see!

She's still acting like herself. She tore through the house this morning and last night chasing/playing with my boy kitty. This morning she ate a fair share of the Eagle Pack wet food I put out for mine. If I couldn't feel those little lumps in there, I would swear she wasn't even pregnant.

yeah great.

thanks for the quick response. It's good to know that I may not see these behaviors so I need to just be prepared for anything.

That's what I keep asking my pregnant foster cat. The woman from the clinic said she came in as a stray around March 12 or 15 (I can't remember) and the vet felt the kittens. I read somewhere that they have to be at least 20 days pregnant for the vet to be able to feel them. So I picked a Feb...
