Hi all,
I've been reading a lot of the threads in here for about a week and decided to make an account just to share.
My cat is currently 64 days pregnant based on what my vet said. Her name is Ryoko and she's a little over a year old. We took her in on the 26th of February to confirm pregnancy and were told she should give birth in a week. We did call them yesterday to tell them there were no signs of labor and they said to come in on Saturday if she doesn't have them by then. She's a domestic short hair (her mom is a calico and her dad is an orange tabby) and was given to me by my sister. We have one other cat named Gizmo (he's been neutered) and a shiba inu. Both of our cats are indoor cats so I didn't see the need to get her spayed right away.
Backstory of what happened:
Last year my husbands parents dropped both of their 2 cats (Cali and Jackson who are both fixed) and their dog Olive on us because they were in the process of selling their house and didn't want the animals there during the process. We were only supposed to watch them up until December, but they have since told us that they no longer want them and to either keep them or find them new homes which has been extremely stressful because now we have 6 animals and we also have 2 children.
Two of the cats got out sometime in January late at night (one of them being Ryoko and she's never been outside). I noticed she started to look bigger in February and her nipples were more visible then I felt movement in her stomach while I was petting her so we ended up taking her to the vet. I read that cats can be pregnant from 58-67 days and my vet also said the same thing.
I have a few nesting spots set up that she has no interest in whatsoever and have bought the some items that I've seen people post about in here and on other websites such as (gloves, dental floss, a scale, powdered kmr, nursing bottle just in case etc).
And yes, we will be getting her spayed after she gives birth, we've already talked about it with our vet.
So yeah that's it. Just wanted to share.
I've attached photos of all the cats as well
