My Kitty Is Getting Fat! Why? What Should I Do?

[Kittens and chickens]

Well like I said before our cat of 12 years Scarlet recently died of cancer and we've been taking it pretty hard, so he thinks that we're going to bring Kaia in and keep her in because she's a comfort to us and he doesn't want that he doesn't like cats too much. I tried reasoning with him but it dose t work out.

So no...

I’m sorry that your cat died; that’s really hard. Not taking care of your other cat is not a reasonable option, though.

What city are you in? If you are unable to provide her a safe place to have/raise her kittens then you may want to consider surrendering her to a rescue. Or spaying her now. It is a little counterintuitive to let her have her kittens outside, this time of year they will likely freeze (depending on where you are located) and if they do survive then you will have 5-6 more cats reproducing in your yard by the end of summer.

Okay I talked to my dad about it and he's letting me keep her inside now. Thank all of you now she's laying on my bed with me.

Amazing news! Is she treated for fleas?

Good news, girl!!

Well done. She will be a lot happier and safer now. Let us know how it goes and post some photos of the mum and kittens when the time comes.

I don't think our cats have fleas right now we just had a major freez and I haven't seen any on them plus I bathe them so I think she's good. I will post many pictures of the new borns and their mom!

She looks really comfortable. How long before the kittens are due?

 

[Kittens and chickens]

Haha, she is. Well the vet only said that she got pregnant around or on New Years. So how long are cats pregnant for?

 

[verna davies]

That must have been a good New Years Eve party she went to.
Cats are usually pregnant for 64 to 67 days so she will be due around 5th march.

Haha, yeah the milk was flowin'! Awesome I'll post when they come!
