I have some sad news about Rosie's kittens- at some point in the past 10 days she has lost them. The vet- who I really trust- got her associate for a second opinion, and neither could feel any kittens any more. They did an x-ray to confirm, and she definitely has 'lost' them. This does explain...

Thanks meaw, I must admit that I would really like to become a breeder in the 'traditional' way- but one of the big problems that I face is that I live about an hour and a half away from Melbourne in regional Victoria, and that is where most of the show are. I can't get there because I have...

Hi, Congratulations on your new grandkids!! From my experience with rescue kittens, warm wheat bags are great to help warm them up. With feeding, if the little one won't  feed/can't feed, get to the vet asap, and learn ow to gavage (tube)  feed it. You will find that using a syringe with some...

Hi Stefan, That is why I didn't get the xray done- if it's dangerous to humans, why offer it to a cat? Seemed odd. Although my vet is usually really good about keeping costs down for me. I'm glad that I said 'no' - even though she was more concerned with trying to check whether a c-section may...

Thanks so much for your replies folks- I'm really feeling alone with this one . I'm not involved with any mentors/cat clubs or anything - I've had Burmese and Abyssinian cats all of my life, and for the past 3 years have also been actively involved in kitten/cat rescue and re-homing (after they...

Hi, Rosie (according to the vet feeling her tummy) is about 2 weeks off giving birth. Her nipples haen't changed, but her shape most definitely has! However, the daddy cat (Rex) started hasslling her to go on heat a couple of days ago,, and now she has.......... So a) what is going on...

Hi, Thanks for the info ;-). I have been a cat granny before, but Holly (my Abyssinian, now on Rainbow Bridge) had her last litter around 16 years ago- and she only had 3 litters. As   she only carried 3 in each pregnancy, she took me by surprise each time, and I only realised when she took...

Hi, My Burmese cat, Rosie, is pregnant (think she probably has about 2 weeks to go) but Rex, her Tonkinese boyfriend has just started trying to mount her again. Can anyone tell me what could be going on?? This is the first 'planned' pregnancy I've ever had (mine or a cats!!), and I really...

Hi, We live in Australia with our servant, Cuzin!! We are Rosie (brown burmese), Rex (red point tonkinese), Gizmo (grey 'garfield' who found us) and 2 rescue kitty's that are waiting for new homes, but enjoying getting loved for now!!, We are all indoor except for Gizmo, who gets to go out...

Hi, I have my first pregnant cat in 17 years- and with her, I had no idea that she ws pregnant until she was about to deliver!! (like me with my own first pregnancy!! Discovered I was pregnant at 5 months, then had him at 35 weeks....... and I'm a Nurse ;-) ). Rosie, however, is a one year old...
