Hi everyone!
This is my first post here. I found this site while doing some google searching. Last Friday night, after watching a movie, I was fast-forwarding through the credits when we heard loud yowling coming from out on our deck. We immediately thought one of our four cats had gotten outside, but when hubby went out to check he discovered a stray.
After some coaxing he was able to get her to come over and we fed her some canned food which she ate right up. Well, of course, being the animal lovers we are, we opened up our doors and she trotted right in and made herself at home.
She is young (we would guess about 1 year old), looks to be a cross between a tiger and calico, she is extremely affectionate and even likes our dogs (a German Shepherd and a excitable Boxer puppy). I don't think she's been homeless too awful long because she was pretty clean and only a little banged up. And, of yeah, she's pregnant!
I've been doing a lot of reading. Over the years we've taken in several strays, but have been spared having a pregnant female show up. I'm very, very nervous, because I've never dealt with birth or newborn kittens. I think she's pretty far along, because she's sleeping a lot and her belly is pretty big. Surprisingly, she's also been harassing our other cats, which I think might have to do with her being pregnant.
Wish me luck!! Any advice you can give would be appreciated!
