Hey guys...
I've given this post more than a second thought but I've decided to proceed anyways...please don't flame me or lecture me, just let me enjoy this process
So...
I've taken in yet another pregnant stray cat. You can read my lengthy explaination of how she came into my care and the controversy surrounding my decision to let her continue the pregnancy as opposed to a spay and neuter HERE---> http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...threadid=33946
The vet guesstimated Lola's due date to be around tax day, April 15 2004. I know in the past I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your stories so I'd like to share this journey with you.
The first step is to post some photos of poor Lola that I took earlier today (exactly 7 days from her anticipated labor and delivery). I thought it might be fun for everyone to place their guesses as to how many kittens she's harboring in there. From what we can tell she is about a year old and therefore this is probably her first litter.
Here are her pictures:
I can tell she's already tired of dragging those babies around. As you can see from the second picture she used a container of litter as a step up from the floor to the food rather than just making the big jump. After she filled her already bulging belly she just plopped down and went to sleep right on the table. She hasn't been nesting yet but she's been sleeping in the nesting boxes and she seems to be pretty happy here in my house. I'd like to think the kittens will be born shortly but after watching the last stray deliver I've come to learn that a watched cat never births
So....anyone have any guesses as to just how many kittens she's growing?
