Hello to everyone! I am brand new, I have been reading the forum for a few weeks and decided to join as it seems very helpful and everyong seems lovely! The pictures below ( hopefully) are of my Bellatrix lecat who by my reckoning is 8 1/2 to 9 weeks pregnant (this is her second litter, she is 2 1/2 now and had her first at 11 1/2 months and had 6! All healthy and well cared for.....she is a fab momma cat!!)
She is much larger than last time and the kittens have been moving like mad for the past 2 weeks.....thought she was nearer to 9 weeks but nothing has happened yet!! she is still eating loads and has only just started hanging out in her cupboard ( where she nested with the 1st lot) today. she is not showing any other signs of being close but with the first litter I went to bed at 1.45am she was fine woke up at 7.45am and she was in the cupboard nursing 6 clean dry kittys!
I don't know how second pregnancys compare in cats, she has put on 4lbs since " pinking up" ( can't date exactly from this as it happened whilst a neighbour was feeding her as we were away!!)
What kind of litter size should i be expecting? is there any connection between weight gain and litter size?
would love to hear any advice/opinions/feedback.
