The Vet hath proclaimed:
NOT pregnant, false pregnancy, in heat!
Whew and oh my heavens! After 5 weeks of she is / she isn't....going into labor....going into heat....is she or isn't she....what is up with this cat??? and all the rest....the vet said no, absolutely no sign of any babies inside. No lumps, no bumps, no movement. Big belly / nipples are due to false pregnancy (& high protein food). Definitely in heat.
Well horsefeathers! I was kinda looking forward to babies....but dreading the thought of the cost of all those vaccinations / "fixings" not to mention trying to find homes. So....I'm a little bit relieved, a little bit sad.
Anyway....the Pixie Witch is at the vet's office tonite, and will be spayed and vaccinated tomorrow, and will be released Wednesday.
The only other thing to note here is....vet commented on Pixie's change in attitude since last month's visit. At that point, 1 week after being adopted, she was meek and mild. Given the growling prompted from being poked and prodded this time, as well as the unearthly shriek she emitted at seeing the other cats being held there, vet said she is definitely developing her tortie-attitude.
Gotta remember to thank hubby for bringing all this excitement into my life.
A big hug and thanks to everyone here, for all the encouragement and support. Y'all were such a big help in helping ME maintain my calm during this ... uh .... event. Hopefully our future with the Pixie Witch will be more...normal.
