    Momma cat is not very hungry?

    If she is only nursing one kitten than she doesnt need nearly as much as she would if it was a litter of kittens. My cat had 4 kittens and eats a little less than when she was pregnant and her milk production and weight are great. Just keep a high quality kitten kibble out all the time for her...

    Is my cat about to abandon her kittens?!

    Hello, My cat's previous litter was a difficult one and she too had a C-Section. She gave birth to the first little girl naturally and couldnt get the others out. By the time the vets started the surgery the kitten that was in the birth canal did not make it, but they did get a little boy out...

    gestation 68-75 days ? is that normal ?

    She is probably not overdue, I thought for certain that my kept was way overdue too, but turns out she wasnt. I was very frustrated with my vet as well, I was thinking about having a C-section done just to get them out. As long as she looks healthy and seems comfortable and doesnt look like shes...

    gestation 68-75 days ? is that normal ?

    Any kittens yet? My cat seemed to be in labor for forever before she finally had the first one. She may be having contractions, but sometimes its hard to tell in the first stage of labor. Once she goes into hard labor, there's no mistaking it. Good Luck and keep us updated.

    Kitten is missing Whiskers?

    Cats' whiskers have nothing to do with their balance. The whiskers are there so that a cat can assess if they can fit into a certain space for safety. A cat's whiskers are as long as their bodies. When a cat reaches a tight space that they try to get in and their whiskers touch the sides of the...

    Is this normal?

    The behavior is not whats really concerning me. My cat went through some serious mood changes during her pregnancy. At first she would be very affectionate and than turn around and bite me (and hard too), or she would growl, hiss and swat. She would be more affectionate than not, but nontheless...

    gestation 68-75 days ? is that normal ?

    You should count from the last day that she was mated. I also know that Siamese cats carry for longer than other breeds. You probably have nothing to worry about. I felt that my cat was overdue and just when I was on my last nerve she gave birth to 4 healthy kittens. You may want to take her for...

    Update on Glow the Persian!!!

    This is Tiger, he's the daddy. This picture does him no justice. He is also quite upset because he got shaved down for the summer months. This is Bella, Tiger and Glow's daughter from their previous litter. That litter was actually planned. She was not happy that I caught her while she was...

    OMG she had another baby

    Its not that unusual, sometimes if the cat had a harder time delivering the kittens, she may take a long break in between them causing the time difference. Also as stated above she may have been bred more than once in a 24 hour period. You should take her to the vet either way to find out if...

    ugh how do you wait?

    I know how you feel, the anticipation is the worst part. It gets worse the closer they get. I know I just sat there and watched my cat. I thought that every little twitch or hard breath was her going into labor. I must have taken her to the vet atleast 4 times during the pregnancy just to make...

    Update on Glow the Persian!!!

    Mom is a silver shaded and dad is actually a flame. Some of the females have orange spots on them and will probably get lighter when they are older. We have her daughter and my mom has her son from the last litter (she only had 3, and one poor baby didnt make it). The daughter Bella, was dark...

    Update on Glow the Persian!!!

    Well, after all the waiting and suspense, we finally have 4 beautiful, healthy kittens and one very tired mommy. I must have got the date wrong. For all you people with pregnant kitties, I know its hard to wait and the longer they are pregnant the more nervous you get. 99% of the time, the mom...
