I've been trying to find a reason for the premature labour... I have been turning my balcony into a catio and before letting them in there I wanted to give the floor a good clean to protect mom from nasty bacteria/parasites or anything like that. the cleaner I used contains...
weights are 56 and 71g. unfortunately the smaller one has just passed away :( I have royal canin babycat milk. I don't know where to get raw goat milk unfortunately
my poor (pedigree, properly registered) Ragdoll mommy just gave birth to her second litter overnight. She had 9 (!) kittens. 7 were stillborn or deceased by the time I woke up and found them. 2 were alive but very cold.
The surviving two are in an incubator set to 35 celcius. They have had half...
Thought i'd come and update with some pictures. The kittens turned 3 weeks old yesterday 😊 we are keeping the calico with the ginger stripe on her face who wont keep still for pictures. My close friends are having one of the others too, they're still discussing as a family which one but they...
Thank you! I'm glad it's not too worrisome. One had its eyes open for the first time today so presumably the rest aren't far behind, and then the infection has somewhere to drain from too I suppose.
I'm waiting for a call back from the vet, I'll probably just get the vet treatment straight...

Butterball? 😅
Today I will be phoning the vets because a significant amount of discharge just came from one of the kittens eyes 😣. I was weighing them and thought it was a drop of milk and wiped it with some kitchen paper and then loads came out. I once had significant and fast success treating...
Tiggy just did a big stretch then yowled in pain and rolled over a few times. She seems ok now otherwise, perhaps a bit restless but she's been in 1 place feeding kittens for days. Shes a fussy eater and doesn't go for the higher protein wet foods but I've been giving her generic 'chunks in...
Shes just given birth to her first one on the stairs. Obviously not a safe place for it to stay so once she's cleaned it up (which she is doing now) should i pop it in her nest for her?
I think she's in labour! Hasn't stopped meowing at me for about 2 hours now and keeps sitting to one side with a leg in the air, looking uncomfortable. Theres a bit of discharge and she keeps trying to get me to top up her (full) food bowl
I marked on the calendar that I first realised tigs is pregnant on april 16th. Its been 4 weeks and 1 day since then. I was expecting her to have had her kittens by now? From everything I've read, I'd guessed she was about 6 weeks then at the earliest but apparently not? There are no real signs...
Unfortunately I don't have a spare room. It will be difficult keeping them completely separate. There will have to be some shuffling involved. I completely understand where she's coming from with feeling protective. I'm surprised at how well she listens to me actually, she's picked up the phrase...
Tiggy is huge. Today she's refused to eat anything apart from dog food.
She's really got it in for one of my other cats right now. He's male, neutered, 9 years old. He's keeping out of her way but how closely should I be watching the situation? I don't want either of them or any kittens getting...
In the last few days, she's gone from sleeping mainly on my daughters bed during the day, to sleeping under my bed behind some boxes and other stuff. I've set up a couple of possible nesting areas for her but she prefers under my bed (where my toddler can't reach, very sensible). Ive made it...
