Hi,
My partner and i recently we brought a longhaired haired tabby female off of a couple who were moving aboard, this is the first time we have owned a cat, shes a year and half old. After a week we noticed she was gaining weight and thought we were over feeding her, took her to the vet to get her checked over and to get some flea and worming treatment and was told she was pregnant, we were told by the previous owners that she was spayed and fully up to date with her injections even though we werent given her injection card as proof as they told us they have misplaced it.
We had an ultrasound done and was told she had a week and half left and that was 2 weeks ago, the vet couldnt tell us how many kittens she was having due to her being far into her pregnancy, she said it was hard to tell, we were given a sheet of paper about pregnancy length etc and when we asked about what to do when she goes into labour, the vet told us it will be fine she will know what to do.
On monday i felt the kittens moving this is the first time i noticed any movement, I have also been doing research on the internet and i read that from the moment you feel the kittens moving it takes 7 to 10 days and another site said 2 weeks and another said 3 weeks so im confused. We have got her a box so its all ready and have been feeding her kitten food, we are trying to figure out when shes due as i want one of us to be home just incase theres any complications.
We will be keeping the kittens as we dont want them to go to a home that after so long will have no time for them and give them up, as soon as shes done with nursing shes getting spayed. We dont think shes going to have a large litter as shes not got a large tummy.
