Janeway, the stray that showed up a few weeks ago, finally gave birth last night! She ignored the nesting ox we had made for her and had 2 of the kittens where we had never even seen her poking around - behind my computer on light grey carpet. BUT, we got her into the box with only a minor...

I guess I'll call the vet tomorrow morning. It is really strange. She is lumpy and bumpy all over and I can feel kicking and moving so I can't imagine it's a false pregnancy. She sat on my lap for a few minutes a little while ago and I was able to get a little milk out and she looks very...

Just as a reminder, Janeway is a pregnant stray that showed up at our house a few weeks ago. I have never had a pregnant cat and no context of what to expect. This site has been so informative but now something weird has happened. Last Friday, as Janeway was sitting on my lap I noticed just a...

Just thought I would give everyone an update. We are still waiting for Janeway to give birth - must be she wasn't as far along as I thought! Last weekend we had a cool spell and took that opportunity to finish our guest bedroom upstairs (it was our bedroom before we built an addition). This...

Thanks for the advice. We have a large walk in closet - about 9' x 7.5', so we were thinking of putting a box in there and hoping she would feel safe and secure to have her kittens there. I know that we should take her to the vet, but I was concerned that after all the stress that she's been...

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...
