    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Hi again! Hoping someone can help me tell the gender of 3 of the kittens? They are roughly 6.5 weeks old now. The torti I can tell is female, and one of the tuxi's clearly has little plums, but I'm just not sure about these last 3! Are they all boys?

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Sorry to keep coming back at random times with annoying questions! So our male cat, Mister (who has been fixed and has had all his shots etc done) started sneezing intermittently a few days ago. He's not otherwise had any other obvious symptoms of anything obviously bad, no discharge from his...

    Sorry for the endless questions here I’m a worrywart/overthinker, clearly lol. Can someone reassure me that these are just full cat boobies and not mastitis? Also, to me she still looks a bit pregnant - boyfriend thinks it’s just her backup milk supply haha. It’s been 9 days now since...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Thank you! I didn't see anything new on the floor or in the bedding this morning, and she's still eating like a little piggy. We also checked her pee (she hasn't pooped yet) and no blood. Hopefully it was just a bit of leftover stuff! I'm taking Mister to the vet on Tuesday to get his booster...

    Hopefully someone will see this, it has been 6 days since Missy gave birth. She had a bit of discharge (looked like blood) the day after, but nothing until this evening - I noticed a very small pool of blood about 2cm in diameter after she got up from lying down, and a few spots/drops of blood...

    Woke up at 520am and she was licking the sac off the 5th bub. So terribly proud of her!

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    So missy woke me up meowing loudly at 1.20am. When I went to check on her I saw some signs of discharge in various places on the floor and on her bedding (I hope this is the mucus plug?). She'd also used the litter for a few small pees and some diarrhoea, from what I could tell. She led me...

    Awww thanks for your message!! You're an absolute hero!! Good luck with your stray - let me know how it goes with whether she is able to be spayed or not! :) I have to confess, until this pair started hiding under my car and I came to realise one stormy night they were still sleeping out...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    It's been almost 3 weeks since the vet said she would be due "in the next week". Between Missy's various escape attempts (my completely ruined window flyscreen and soon to follow door), the emptying of cat litter trays all over the floor (which I jokingly say is her taking revenge on her...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Thank you again! Will definitely keep you posted =) I'm scared and excited and anxious all at once, and wishing I had some sort of kittycam installed at home so I could see what they're doing during the day (though going from the weekend it was mostly sleeping lol) My partner Lee has tmw off...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Oh definitely!! We have them shut today as there's a chance of rain, but in future we won't be leaving the windows fully open - I didn't know they would even think of ripping them until I got home and saw the claw marks! Fortunately it's only one floor but still - I'm scared if she gets out I...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    We had considered getting him done this week, mainly to keep him a bit out of the way of interfering with mum while she is doing her thing but then changed our minds - I will speak with my partner about getting him fixed sooner rather than later :)

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Thank you so much!! Yup, we have them both indoors, figured it would be easier and less stressful for them to stay together. I'm hoping that by the time they have recovered from the sterilisation surgery they will have gotten used to being 100% indoors and we can just leave it like this. We...

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Thanks everyone! I really really appreciate the advice and reassurance! I didn't know if I was being an overbearing helicopter mum lol and yes, those were my fears too - that she'd give birth in a place I'd never find and that she wouldn't have any help at hand if she needed it, plus that it...

    Thank you!! I think I just needed some reassurance.. I am more anxious about this whole thing than she is I think...!

    Pregnant Stray And New Cat Mum Advice

    Hi everyone! Sorry this is going to be a massive essay, I just wanted to give a bit of background. My partner and I recently decided to adopt a pair of stray cats. We had been feeding them for a couple of weeks before we took them to the vet. The female, Missy, hissed at the vet when she...
