    Help Seeing Kittens

    I didn’t take the starting weights, I haven’t handled them until now as I was still earning her trust (I know how I’d feel if I got taken to a strange house heavily pregnant) and didn’t want to risk her moving them to a “safe place” if I handled them too soon but she seemed to be ok with me...

    Help Seeing Kittens

    We have taken in a pregnant cat from a friend who is currently in hospital having cancer treatment (cat will return once her care is complete) I didn’t know she was pregnant until we went to pick her up but we had already agreed and I have a little bit of knowledge as one of my cats had kittens...

    Help! No Idea On The Due Date

    Just thought I’d post an update... still no sign of the kittens, she’s just still a very pregnant fat and lazy cat. But kitten movements are good and I don’t have any concerns so it’s just the waiting game

    Help! No Idea On The Due Date

    Thankyou! The vet gave me these scissors for the last time I had a pregnant cat but that was a while ago, they look a bit like plastic fingernail scissors, but if I can use my nails it would be so much easier! I forgot gloves off my list too I’ve got some powdered latex free ones just incase...

    Help! No Idea On The Due Date

    Maybe a little bit, it’s difficult to tell seen as we haven’t had her that long, but she does seem to be carrying a bit lower now than what she was when we first brought her home.

    Help! No Idea On The Due Date

    Hi everyone, This isn’t the first time I’ve had a pregnant cat but it’s the first time I have no idea on the due date or the cats general personality. We adopted a pregnant cat last week, the shelter we got her from really weren’t helpful they just wanted rid of her I think, it was a private...

    First Ever Litter

    She's doing an amazing job. We waited the 36 hours and still only one kitten. She doesn't seem to like her privacy though, she still keeps bringing the kitten and giving it me which I think is a bit odd, but she always takes it back afterwards and she's still feeding it and grooming it so I...

    First Ever Litter

    So last night finally after a long wait and a panicked phone call to the vet she has had one healthy happy kitten who we have named splodge. I have had a feel and I can't feel any more in her belly and she doesn't look pregnant any more so I'm assuming one is all she is going to have (that was...

    First Ever Litter

    Still no kittens so we are back to the vets in the morning. The vet said they may have been a week or so out so hoping they just got the dates wrong and there's nothing else wrong. But she's now 2 weeks overdue, we were going to take her last week but the vet said allow an extra week as they may...

    First Ever Litter

    Still no kittens to report on, she's still just a heavily pregnant cat. Not liking the waiting game at all lol. Her lady bits do look different today which prompted a quick panicked call to the vets but apparently it's normal, it looks possibly a bit swollen as it looks s bit bigger down there...

    First Ever Litter

    our vet gave us a kitten milk powder to make up and give her and then talked us through what to do if we need to hand feed the kittens with it too. Shes drank it fine up until this point but she's barely touched anything all day. She's gone from 3 pouches a day with biscuits to 1 pouch today...

    First Ever Litter

    Still no sign of the kittens. We dont actually know when she got caught as we didnt look for signs of heat thinking she was spayed. But i think shes getting close, she seems to be licking herself a lot more today and shes not eating as much. Also she keeps flinching, is this normal? Also she...

    First Ever Litter

    And thank you sarthur I don't mind giving it ago, I wish she had had of been spayed but I suppose it's one of those things. I would of still had her if she wasn't but we would of had her spayed ourselves before this happened. I'm just keeping a close eye on her for the time being, don't think...
