    Question about finding reputable breeders

    Let me take it the other way. Reputable breeders have good contact with a good vet. And so, they see it as completely natural, to contact the vet if they notice any problems they cant manage with home remedies or by their own long experience and good knowledge. Also, their cats are usually...

    pregnant cat, tight belly

    Eating grass isnt dangerous, cats do so, in part it helps them to throw up their hair balls... Some owners even give them grass to numble on, its typically young wheat (wheat is biologically a specie of grass) But what it has to do with being high preg I dont know...

    Weaning help

    I agree with both above. Its well known bottle babies are often longer to wean. Nothing peculiar, kittens with momma wish to COMFORT nurse some on her for perhaps 10 weeks... Dont worry, she sees your adult cats eating by their own, so she has someone to take example from.... You dont...

    pregnant cat, tight belly

    Skinner - probably she has dropped. Prelabor may be quite long, even more than 24 hours, but its usually shorter. The active pushing phase shall be much shorter. If its more than 1 hour, contact your vet asap, be prepared to rushing in. The problem with hiding in dark places is you dont see...

    pregnant cat, tight belly

    Yes, it seems as contractions. If its Braxton Hicks contraction, or beginning of labor, is next question... Has she "dropped" ie suddenly seems less pregnant? If not, its probably Braxton Hicks, and almost a week is left. If she HAS dropped, its probably beginning of labor. Prelabor MAY be...

    If kittens with caretaking momma; its quite probable you dont see any poo because momma eats it up! Its common breeders never see any kitten poo . Poos almost only for caretakers of orphans!

    I don't know if she is pregnant or just fat if someone can please help me

    A) good if you write in the title what you ask about. Ie; constipated kitten. How old is the kitten? What is the food? B) There is a battery to do, dependining on. Change of kmr? Make sure kitten has enough with fluids. Put in a couple three drops of olive oil in kittens food / kmr. Fluid...

    My brothers cat is 68 days pregnant

    again, if you know when she mated, so you know. And if you dont know (which IS common) - all possibilites are of course open.

    My brothers cat is 68 days pregnant

    I think she has dropped now, if she suddenly doesnt look as much preg as she was. IF so, delivery soon, and everything is going normally, although a pregnancy longer than average. But as said from beginning. Either you know exactly when she mated - or you dont know. If you dont know, its...

    Curious about my little blue girl

    It seems across her nose and forebrow are some cremish fields. This gives me a suspicion she may be a diluted tortie. And tortie have often green eyes. Why I dont know, but more common than just a coincidence. And yeah, diluted tortie do somethime looks almost russian... Is any of her...

    Bengal tabby mix?

    Yes. In USA we call for tabby both these spotted, striped, and classic "bulls eyed" for tabby; the renown M and often white mouth are their common signatures. In other countries with tabby they mean just and only the classic tabby; bulls eye / blotched / marbled.... These striped are either...

    My brothers cat is 68 days pregnant

    Yeah, if she isnt friend with the other cats, its perhaps THEM she is hiding from, now when she is vulnerable. Please make sure they are separated and isolated from her!

    Is my cat pregnant?

    The reddening "hindberry red" happens typically on the day 21. MAY be some day earlier, but surprising often, its day 21. Nay, heat doesnt need to stop directly after mating. So, count she is preg.... Although, exceptions do occur, that is why in most mating agreements there is a clausule...

    My brothers cat is 68 days pregnant

    Are you sure on the exact count of days? Cats have often a little too long pregnancy, and they manage it better than humans. But it should be near. A problem is, if she is hiding and sis inexperienced, she has no clue on what is happening. For example, if the cat has dropped, ie suddenly looks...

    Kitten has poop stuck right at the end of her tract, what should I do?

    My reaction is, you can try to submerge her lower parts in warm water. Alike you would do if she was constipated... You can even have a drop of fluid soap. And rinse afterwards. Of course make sure she doesnt get chilled off. Another tip may be to have in the poo a tiny slice of such a...

    How pregnant do you think my foster cat is?

    Its apparently quite near. As braxton hicks contractions come about a week or less before delivery. Next common stage is you see her drop, ie suddenly seems less pregnant, and you dont see kittens move as clearly... After this its perhaps 2 days left... The problem is, not all drops...

    4 Day Old Kitten

    Its not as she has a real constipation, as the poo is diarrhea-like. I interpret this as she tensions up by some reason. And so, keeps the poo... And lets it go when she relaxes sleeping... I suggest you try with the warm water treatment. Either you simply submerge her lower half in warm...
