Hi there,
I'm new on here and a new cat mom,
After going to a farm there was a big cage of cats and one that looked very scared to the others, backed in a corner hissing so of Corse I took her home!
After what seemed like a hard start with luna got even more crazy,
So at first she was showing signs that maybe she was abused as she would hide under my bed and not come out for days on end unless the room was empty, she would cry day and night and would really hiss if you tried to touch her, so after giving her some space I decided maybe a friend would help bring her out her shell, and keep her company, so we got a kitten, this helped luna a lot and by 3 weeks in she was sleeping on the bed, eating, drinking and playing, she does allow lots of strokes but does not like to be picked up. Luna also sleeps on the bottom of the bed and gets closer and closer to your face through out the night!
I noticed not long after we had her home she was putting on quite a bit of weight,
Witch then turned into a rounded belly!
I thought maybe she needed worming and a vet check so I took her to the vets not knowing her age or past history for advice!
The vet checked her over and found she was actually pregnant and I did Infacy get a scan to confirm.
After tons of research I got luna settled in my room for her pregnancy with access to other areas,...
I set out a nesting box in each room knowing she hadn't been with us very long and wanted her to be as comftsble as possibly when the time came.
The week before due date was approaching I got luna another vet check (overly paranoid) and another scan to make sure everything was good.
I would limit the contact luna and kitty had and also the children and luna as I didn't want to scare her with the noise of 2 little boys, so kitty took residence in there room on a night and luna had the rest of the house to choose from then during the day let kitty back out.
Monday night luna didn't seem right she just seemed to be in my face 24/7 and was cherping a lot, although still eating ALOT,
Tuesday morning she was fine I put kitty in the downstairs area and closed the doors as I just had a strange feeling telling me to do so, I done the school run popped to my mom's and pets at home for kitten formula and feeding kit as a precaution,
When I got home there was 4 kittens on my bed and number 5 had just came out, I checked all were breathing then left the room to give luna privacy after checking in a few times luna was finally settled with 6 kittens, however the kittens are on my bed, there is blood and dampness off her labour, I was concerned for the kittens getting cold however the radiators are on full and the room is like a sauna!
This morning I popped my head in and noticed luna had moved the kittens and herself to the edge of the bed in the clean area however I'm scared they might fall off as they are crawling all over,
Am I able to move them? I haven't touched them ad of yet but would really like to get them in a cleaner environment and a warmer place just to be on the safe side
Thankyou x
