Hi There,
Last July we got our first cat. Here name is Nemo (my 4yr old named her). When we got her she was very tiny and we were told that she was only about 14 weeks old. I took her to my vet and got her the required shots and she became a very much loved member of the family. Turns out she was more like 6 months old. Money was tight so we didn't have a chance to get her fixed right away. 3 weeks before her appointment to get fixed she got out and lo and behold kittens are due any day now. She made the great escape December 22 and came home December 25. By everything that I read I can expect the kittens to arrive any day now. She is not very big so I think there may only be 2 or 3 in there.
I read on a website that a cats temp. should be between 101 and 102F and within 24 hours of giving birth her temp should drop to 100F. I took Nemo's temp. last night and it was 100.3. I took it again this morning and it was 99.9F. Does this mean for certain that she will have her kittens in the next day or so?
I know it was very irresponsible as a pet owner to not have her fixed right away but the $$$ situation was beyond our control. I already have good homes for 3 of the kittens (if there are that many).
Thanks for your advice.
