GUESS WHAT???? Sweetie gave birth to 4 kittens!
Maybe that's why she went crazy when I tried to put her in the carrier. I spent all afternoon/evening yesterday with her to try to calm her down and she was very affectionate but a few times would bite me so I thought she was still mad about yesterday morning but apparently she must've started having contractions and felt pain and struck out at me in the afternoon/evening.
I left her alone in the bedroom around 10 pm last nite to go to bed and this morning when I walked in, she didn't come to greet me as she ususally did so I went over to the box to look in and saw 4 kittens nursing from her! She and her babies look good (from what I can tell- I have NO experience with newborn kittens)and clean.
This makes it more complicated cuz I don't feel comfortable transporting her/kittens to a new home because I know moving can be very upsetting and Sweetie has gone thru so much with babies last nite I'm sure sooo for now, it looks like I will keep them for at least a week or up to 12 weeks. Depending on how Lori, (who works a lot with ferals, feel- she might feel it'd be more benefitical for the cat/kittens to be with a foster mom who's very experienced with kittens.
Will keep u posted.
