Good afternoon,
The past couple weeks, I've found myself on this site several times. Around Valentines Day, a skinny stray cat showed up on our doorstep. Having 2 kids, and a very busy lifestyle, I chose to feed it on our front porch, but didn't bring it inside. However, over the next few days, the cat slowly worked its way into our front door, and our hearts. So, as a family decision, we decided to welcome the cat into our family. She was take to the clinic, de-wormed, given shots, and checked out healthy. We started "spoiling" her with food, treats and toys. She started to get rather round, and just two weeks ago we learned she's in "advanced pregnancy". Without knowing the conception date, we were not told a time-frame. We were told there shouldn't be an adverse effects of her having shots and being worked while (unknowingly) pregnant, so I am hoping and praying all goes well. Not sure exactly what I'm asking, only if anyone has been in a similar situation and can calm my mind? I'll be devastated if something goes wrong when I was only trying to better her health. I'm not sure how far along she is, only that she was depressingly skinny when she arrived, and now looks like she's swallowed a small football! I've been searching and reading the forums here, and impatiently waiting! This will be my first (and only) litter, as Im an advocate of spay and neuter. Her belly has been ripling around due to kitten movement, which has been visible to my eye for a little over a week now. Her appetite is voracious, but I have no indication on how it was previously. Any and all help is appreciated, while I wait it out!! C'mon out kitties!!
