Precious had 4 babies. 😍😍😍😍
It looks like there's one that's going to have the same coloration as mama, which means it'll probably be female.
And from what I've read, most orange/blonde cats are male.
At what age will I be able to tell the sexes of the kittens?
She's also doing good. No complications so far.
I just took her a clean blanket since it looks like rain is incoming in about thirty minutes or so.
Head count right now:
3 dark orange
1 black that could possibly be a mini me of Precious but I didn't dare try to get a closer look
And she was...
They're arriving!
We checked her at 4 PM. She was still lovey and munching away on her food. My partners parents checked at 5:30 PM before they had to run to town for some errands and ended up giving her a small amount of food because her bowl was empty and she was asking for more. We just went...
Update:
We put Precious in a birthing pen this past Saturday. It's outside, but well protected from the elements. There's a small-ish fully enclosed area for her to have the kittens (including a few fleece blankets for warmth/moisture absorption and several more on hand to change out) that has...
We've been using the advantage flea and tick drops. My mother in law is an awesome person, too! Even though she struggles with mobility issues herself, she was there every day when I was in the hospital after the stroke trying to keep me as upbeat as possible. And she has a soft spot like we do...
I'll let her know about the syringes and miracle nipples. Thank you!
We're all concerned about her being outdoors, but we don't want to stress her by moving her in to my mother in laws house or keeping her contained in a room - which would essentially mean cutting her off from the family since...
I wanted to give an update:
My mother in law is willing to help with anything we need to get Precious to term with her pregnancy. She apparently wants one of the babies as a surprise gift for my step son (who lives with her to help her out around the house when we're not there to help). She...
The spay clinic didn't tell us how far along she is... Or any information, either, other than "you know she's pregnant, right? We can't spay her without your approval." Queens aren't something I know a ton about, so I brought her home to talk to my partner about all of this.
He's suggesting...
She's not feral. She's a little over a year old, and we've had her since she was 8 weeks old. She'll have a tablespoon of milk every morning with me when I have coffee (if she misses it, she'll literally pout until she gets a tiny amount of milk). She just never bonded with us, though she...
We took the final kitty (we have 4, one a rescue kitty who's mama abandoned him at 5 weeks old last Thanksgiving week - moved the litter and never came back for him) to get spayed today and found out that she is pregnant. Yikes! Needless to say, she didn't get spayed as planned.
The problem...
