Sorry about another post so soon, but I forgot to ask what is a good diet for Orbit while she's nursing? She seems famished :( I have had her free-feeding on dry Purina Kitten Chow with tuna mixed in, but I think she needs something else now because she only eats a tiny bit of it, compared to...
Update: we have kittens! Labor started shortly before 11pm and was over around 12:15am. Sadly the 1st was a pinky-sized fetus. I got scared and called the emergency vet but they said as long as she has 1 kitten every hour and doesn't seem in distress, no worries. Then came the "twins," boy...
Orbit got to acting pretty strange a bit ago, mewing at my daughter till she followed her into the bathroom (Orbit's fav room) and then got in her bed (which she's only touched briefly once before) and got to mewing louder and insistently until my daughter got me in there to check on her...
We are all so excited for when we finally get to see the cuties she's been nurturing in her soon (ok, everyone except K.C. my daughter's cat who wishes Orbit would quit trying to spend time with her :P ). My 9yr old son makes a point to give her loves on her head every time he walks by her...
We are in the same boat with Orbit. Well, she told me she was pregnant, but just don't understand why people don't spay yet expect kittens to not happen Your kitty is beautiful and has a great Mom
I think Orbit is lactating as she has dried white stuff on her nipples :/ Anyone know if this means she will go into labor soon? Don't know when she and a he got together so not sure how far along she is, but thought we had at least a couple more weeks to go
When my daughter was holding her today, noticed she had dried milk? on her teats. Not sure what that means as far as time till delivery? Anyone know at approx how many weeks that starts?
The vet I took mine to today, knowing that she was probably pregnant but we had no history on her and the belly could be caused by something else, only charged for the exam, and did the ultrasound and a nail trim on her for free. Worth looking into for vets near you ;) Would love an update
