    Young cat pregnant - need advice.

    After an 8 hour labor, Maggie has given birth to 4 very tiny black babies. It was incredibly intense - she had no idea what was going on, and wouldn't stay in her box unless I was right there. The last baby was born breech, and with over-the-phone assistance from the vet, I helped deliver him...

    Young cat pregnant - need advice.

    Well, the ultrasound showed "at least" 3 babies, and all seem to be developing well. She's doing fine - I think pregnancy has calmed her a bit. She's wanted very little to do with us since she started visiting us last October, but now she's quite a bit friendlier. We've committed to keeping...

    We also have another dog, a lab, and 3 other cats [all abandoned/rescues ] and everyone gets along great! We introduced Hershey, the lab, when he was about 10 weeks old, but Kirby, our spaniel is at least 3, and we don't know his prior history with cats since we got him at a shelter. I have a...

    Young cat pregnant - need advice.

    Ah, that makes sense. My Pepper is smaller than average, although not as small as That Baby, and her mother was also a smaller than average feral cat. She's inside for now, and seems pretty comfortable here. She doesn't let anyone approach her unless she is situated higher than you, but she...

    Young cat pregnant - need advice.

    Congratulations on your arrivals I got close enough to feel her tummy today, and it's already bursting at the seams and she's got a bit to go yet. She's just that little - I'm so worried about her. We're going to have an ultrasound done tomorrow to see how things are going. Hopefully that will...

    Young cat pregnant - need advice.

    About 6 months ago, a kitten started showing up on our doorstep. She was maybe 4-6 weeks old then, and VERY feral, but she obviously needed food. I swear, I think the neighborhood kitties are talking, "If you need some grub and a warm bed, go to this chick's house...." ...Anyway, she's been...

    Waiting on a litter - have some questions :)

    The babies are good! She kept trying to move them until we figured out a way to make her happy, and now everyone is just fine. The little girl who was born first is considerably bigger and more active than the rest - I have a feeling she's going to be a li'l troublemaker They are all still...

    I *think* she's done at 5. I thought I felt another one in there, but she seems to have calmed down, is cleaning herself and lovin' on her babies. Yes! Now I can sleep. How are your kits, Keisha?

    She's had 3, looks like there's another 3-4 in there. The first was the biggest, and the subsequent ones are tiiiiiiiny. I don't have a scale though :/

    Ugh. I don't know who's more nervous - Fuchi or me. She lost her mucous plug this morning, and she's discharging a fair amount - but she won't clean herself so I have to do it for her. Her temperature went down, but came back up again to 100. She's finally letting me take it, so I know she's...
