I have a female cat that is 19 months old. When she was a kitten she would pee in the laundry. If it was in the basket or in a pile on the floor. If a comforter was left on the sofa or floor she would pee on that as well. When we found out she was pregnant we thought that she would stop nce...

My sons told me yesterday that a house that is vacant and up for sale has 4 to 6 cats living in the back yard. I talked to a neighbor who was friends with the people who moved and learned that the women fed them but they weren't "hers". Obviously for many reasons we decided that these cats had...

We were lucky with Ethel's kittens as 2 went to families on my son's ball team and one went to a co-worker. We have been so lucky to get to visit 2 of them regularly and we are trying to schedule a time to visit with the 3rd one. We actually took Peyton (the kitten we kept) over to visit her...

My last kitten leaves home on Friday and then I will just have the momma cat, one kitten that we are keeping and our 2 year old cat, (plus the 2 dogs) so my time on the pregnant cat and kitten care website is almost over! Yes, I know I can visit and that there are other rooms but like newborn...

How old should the kittens be before they get their first shots?

Ethel's babies have hit and passed 8 weeks. One has already gone to his new home, one leaves today and the last one leaves next Friday. Starting the night before last she woke me up in the middle of night in HEAT!!! She did it again last night and then sometime around 4am she rounded up her...

Ethel had 4 kittens and we decided to keep one. One has already gone to his new home and she started nursing the other 3 more when she was barely nursing them before. She has since slowed that down. However, I still notice that she is very much their mom in that she doesn't wash them...

As I am getting ready to adopt my kittens out (and I think they are all spoken for by very good friends, actually one already left home )one of my friends was on the fence about adopting my SKittles. SHe currently has a cat and was concerned about how they would get along. Well, when she got...

Ethel is really skinny and all she wants to do is EAT! She doesn't nurse as much now since the kittens are 6 weeks and I was hoping it was because the kittens were taking so much out of her. She is really funny though because she will call them out to nurse and then after maybe 2 minutes get...

Okay, the kittens will be 6 weeks old on Tuesday and we started food this past week. It was a little slow but they are all eating now and still nursing. Although it doesn't seem as if they nurse as long. She seems to be the one calling them to nurse. I am assuming that the more they eat the...

Ever since Ethel had her babies I have been feeling very left out! She will only get up on the bed with me for a minute but she does now lay in the closet next to the basket so that she can see me as well. She is always loving when I am in the kitchen and is more than happy to partake in the...

Okay! I finally have the photos, however! I cannot figure out how to post them and I am not seeming to locate the info I need to do so. Can ya'll help?

I know that I have read the answers to some of this but was unable to locate it this morning so forgive me for making ya'll repeat... Ethel has started dripping a few drops of blood here and there. She gave birth on Tuesday but I didn't notice it til yesterday. Since it is literally a drop...

I was a bit nervous because I had to work last night that my husband wouldn't keep a close enough eye on the boys with the kittens but he seemed to have done a pretty good job! (Although the dog didn't get fed til I got home!) I was a little concerned that Ethel didn't appear to be getting out...

She started contractions at 10:20am and then I put her in her box and sat with her. Her "water" broke at 10:50 and she started having them frequently. She wouldn't let me out of her sight and I had to leave the room at the AT&T guy arrived and she ran under the bed dripping as she went. I...

Ethel has done nothing but sleep all day! When I go to pet her she rolls over so that I can rub her belly. I have to go to work at 7pm and I am afraid that I will miss it! My husband will be here but why should he get all the fun!

Is it normal for the kittens to not move as much as the they get bigger and closer to delivery? Ethel is H-U-G-E and the babies are kicking but it just doesn't seem as often. When she is on her back I think you can make out the outline of them. And I really think I missed how far along she...

This is my last question and then I will feel ready for all this. Both of our cats like to get in the sofa. I can get them out easily if they don't come out themselves by lifting up the sofa. My question is: If Ethel chooses that place to start to give birth, even though I have made her a...

When they are so little and newborn where do they go potty? Just in the bedding? And should I use a special type of litter for the little ones? I feel stupid asking this but it just occurred to me tonight! Thanks!

All the signs are there and I know it is just a matter of any minute but Boy! am I ever going nuts! Glad I am not close to being a grandma yet! Ethel's stomach is HUGE and she eats everything in sight! She eats out of one side of the cereal bowl while I eat out of the other. (My husband would...
