I think I’m here to vent more than anything else.
This is my first foster. When I picked her up, she had an upper respiratory infection and a gaping wound on her side. The rescue told me they expected her to deliver in 1 to 2 weeks. That was 5 1/2 weeks ago.
The wound is healed, the cold is gone, but no kittens. She eats, plays, and is a little rounder in the belly than when I picked her up. I believe I have felt the kittens move for the last few weeks, but she is active and always moving/purring so it’s hard to say for sure. She also won’t let me keep my hand there for very long after I had to put ointment in her eye for a week three weeks ago.
She vomits every other day. Sometimes hair, sometimes undigested food. That’s been going on for almost two weeks. I have emailed the rescue and sent pictures, but they are unconcerned. She also does a weird retching that seems to be a cough based on internet research, and I sent a video of it. No concern. Their nonchalance is maddening. When I picked her up, I asked when I should bring her back for a checkup, and they just said, “Email us when the kittens arrive.”
They emailed last week and apologized, saying they thought she was farther along. It almost seems unbelievable to me. When I signed up to foster, they told me about the cat with the cold and the wound, but I didn’t get her for another two weeks after that because she had to be cleared by the medical team. So that means they knew she was pregnant 7 1/2 weeks ago. Is that even possible? Will these kittens ever arrive? Is it a pseudo pregnancy?
