234g today, 8 days old! Is there such a thing as gaining too quickly? Also, she opened her eyes today!

Just a quick update, kitten is growing so fast! 196g today, at 5 days old. Clearly enjoying having the full buffet all to herself! lol

Well, bit of a sad update, second kitten was stillborn. Things got touchy and I drove to emergency vet, which is an hour away. She delivered on the way, and I tried to revive it to no avail. It just was too far of a drive I suppose. Confirmed there are no more kittens inside, so she just has...

Thank you! I'm anxious for her, I've been there done that, and know it's not fun! Nothing yet, I hope it doesn't drag out too long for her.

I think we might be back in action! I'm pretty sure I'm seeing contractions every few minutes now, for about 45 minutes so far. She's restless, can't decide where she wants to be- in her box, under a chair, on the bed, under the bed... it's about 20 til midnight now, wondering if we'll have a...

Well! She suddenly got restless and mewling, and I thought "THIS IS IT, SHE'S HAVING THE REST OF HER BABIES!" ... she just had to poop 😅🤣

Mama has a bit of pink-tinged slimy looking discharge (idk how to describe it, not thick like a mucus plug, but looks stretchy? Lol like she had a thin "string" of it hanging down before she cleaned herself up). Not sure if it's just normal afterbirth discharge, or maybe bloody show signaling...

Sounds like a plan! Thank you!!

That's easy enough! Would you recommend twice, or three times daily?

Apologies, I hit post before I'd typed anything! Kitten is doing great, I was not able to reach under the couch yesterday to grab her, but I weighed her today at 123g. She has a great appetite and a nice full tummy! I was able to lure mama out from the couch and put her and baby into her...

Hi all, I recently took in a pregnant stray. I wasn't sure how far along, but she was obviously very pregnant, and I could see movement in her belly when she would lay down. This was about a week ago. Anyway, she gave birth to a single kitten under our couch yesterday morning. My son heard the...

Hi guys! Just wanted to update- Gotham and Harley are now grooming each other! Yay! Ivy is still leery of Gotham but still no more growling or hissing! I think we're making good progress!

Hi all! So, we got Gotham a little over two weeks ago. He has been living in our bedroom, the safe room, the whole time. We had the cats trade spaces many many times, smell each other through the door, eating near each other, seeing each other through the door, and finally have introduced them...

Ginny, the kids are 2, 5, 7, 8, and 11. I do not (and will not) leave them alone with Gotham. The 2yo sits in my lap when she's in my room with him, and I hold her hands while she has the toy to make sure she's not too rough. He is surprisingly not as afraid of the 2yo as he is the 8yo, I guess...
