I just wanted to give everyone an update on Sunflower's kittens. At 4 days old, they are all doing really well! They all weigh between 5.5 and 6.5 oz. (from birthweights of 3-4oz) and seem to be happy little things. Sunflower, though very young herself, is just a perfect little mama. She...

thanks, everyone for the reassurance! LOL I just imagined that there would be little blind kitties scooting across the floor everywhere! Right now, the box they are in has side about5-6 inches, and mama just steps out. I'll keep watch! thank you! Kerry

Well, I am a new grandmom today (our foster had kittens) and I took a pic of the kittens lined up nursing, then printed and labeled the picture with numbers (ie, #1 is the B&W kitten, #2 is the striped kitten that is mostly stripes, including his face... etc) 3 of the 4 are quite similar. I...

Hi- We are going to make a nest box with taller sides to transition the kittens into in a few days (with a lower area for mom to come and go from), and I was wondering what you experienced ones could tell me about the height of the sides. How high should they be to corral the kittens? Even at...

Well, it's 2pm and no more babies -- I think Sunflower is done. I weghed the kittens, took a pic so I could label the picture (and keep up with which kitten is which by number...). I thought I would share the pics -- the last ones for a while. THe kittens weigh 4oz, 3.25oz, 3.25oz, and...

Sunflower had babies! I have onlyposted here a few times, but have been reading with interest. Last night, I checked on her in the bathroom about 1:30am -- she was on her back in the sink (she loves having her tummy rubbed) -- NO signs of anything happening. About 4am, I heard a meow on the...

How exciting! Congratulations! What a beautiful momma cat. I am so glad things went smoothly for all of you -- Kerry

No Sunflower babies, either -- maybe it's a "flower" thing. LOL It has to happen... eventually. I was hoping that it would happen during the week this week since the kids have school (they are off tomorrow-Monday for Easter), and the days would be quiet for the momma -- but that didn't...

woohoo! How exciting... Pls keep us posted! My foster kitty is chilling out relaxing rightnow -- no babies yet! Kerry

hee hee- I've got the baby monitor in the bathroom and the receiver beside my bed! I think she is going to wait until Christmas to have kittens. :P Sunflower is eating, so I am guessing that I will get a full night's rest tonight! She did swipe toilet paper and add it to her nest, and she...

Any kittens, yet? not here... Kerry

Hi- same here -- my foster pg kitty started shredding newspaper yesterday and today she has a watery discharge -- in fact, sounds just like what your kitty is going through (larger breasts, no obvious milk leaking). I have no idea if this is the beginning of labor, but I know it has to be...

Thanks for the welcome! I am actually fostering for a rescue group, so this momma and her babies will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and adopted eventually. Sunflower is in an extra bathroom right now and I have prepared a box for her -- she has been staying in it a lot. In the last hour...

Good morning (or evening...)! I have enjoyed reading through a lot of posts and getting information on what to expect. We are fostering a pg momma who is very young and small. This is our first foster, so I am nervous and excited. Sunflower stopped eating yesterday, though she nibbled a...
