#kittenwatch Again!

[wendydelmo]

This darling girl is just getting settled in downstairs in the cattery. She's a lovely, petite little calico who reminds me of Wynonna. The Vet did an Xray and says to expect at least 6, maybe 7 kittens! What IS it with me and large litters?
She's super sweet and so little.

So, she needs a name, and I'll need kittens names. 6 or 7 of them! (Remember my Naomi Girl and the Country Kittens!) Anyone watch Stranger Things? I'm kinda liking Joyce.... and I"m open for suggestions. The vet seems to think the kittens will come this weekend.

Oh my! She is pretty, but does not look overly large in the picture.

How long have you had her?

 

[StefanZ]

Yes, my reaction too. Big litter but not very big herself. and you hint she isnt a big cat?
Unless of course, she already dropped.

Many females are petite, and yet, usually they do manage nicely, even with big litters. You as acting owern will fo course need to think about the nutrition, extra calcium and such.

Re names - the background you hint is not familiar to me, so here I must pass. I hope others will be more up to date hereby!

 

[wendydelmo]

Well, I am beginning to think she'll have 6!

 

[Sarthur2]

Yep, she just might!

I believe StefanZ and I were fooled by her position in the original picture!

What a beautiful calico! Our newest cat looks similar and she had 6 but we lost 1 at only a week.

The last time I had a Queen as affectionate as Callie, she had her kittens the next day. Both Tillie and Wynonna wanted all the lovings, then had their kittens within 24 hours.

#Kittenwatch is on!

Update on sweet Callie. She's getting bigger and bigger. Looks,like she's "popped" and has quite the waddle going on. Shes slowed down on moving around, but I have seen the kittens moving around a bit. Its always so wierd seing them writhe around inside, isn't it? Her nipples have some dried milk around them, and her teats seems to be getting swollen.. She's still starving.. eating a full bowl of kitten kibble and wanting 3 cans of kitten food everyday. She is one of the sweetest cats I've met, wanting pets and just to be next to me. I end up bringing my kindle down into the cattery to just hang out with her. She's a sweetheart. Id say not too long left.
Here we go waiting again!

 

[Sarthur2]

She looks sweet, and ready to pop, as you said. She's getting really close, for sure!

 

[kittens mom]

BABIES!

 

[wendydelmo]

WOKE UP TO KITTENS! She had 6,one didnt make it. She was starving and chomped down 2 cans of food. I *think" shes done... and there was sweet little orangie that wasnt nursing so well, so Im wstching. Ill have to weigh them.

Congratulations!

She sure looked ready yesterday. Sorry about the one who didn't make it.

You are very brave to put them on a white blanket!

 

[LotsOfFur]

Yay, the babies are here! What a beautiful family.

Sorry about the baby that didn't make it.

Looking forward to your photography and stories of this new group!

 

[catsknowme]

Congratulations! Glad the delivery went well, Godspeed over Rainbow Bridge to the tiny who didnt make it. Thank you for the update with photos - a litter of cuties.

Awe yay! Another thread! I loved reading your last one! Congrats on the babies! Sorry about the one who didn't make it! They are adorable! Have you picked a naming theme? I like the Stranger Things idea...

My husband wanted to go with Looney Toons. I almost called her OfTomcat after a funnypic i took with her and my copy of The Handmaids Tale
