Well, one of my babies...10 months old...has been out fighting again. He seems to get in most of his fights at night, so we try to keep him in by about 7-8. Anyway, his front leg, at the "elbow" joint (you know, the middle one, not the shoulder, not the ankle) is terribly swollen and I can't...
Hello everyone. I am posting this message here because most of you on here know me. I have some really sad news. As you all know Dutchess has had many kittens in here life. I was finally able to get the money together to get her fixed, and not 2 months after that, she was killed. It has...
Well, the kittens are 5 1/2 weeks old...(will get pics out soon, I promise!) but Dutchess is not acting right at all! As I mentioned before, for some reason she decided to bring them all down to the family room on Monday. I thought, okay, we have company here and she wants to socialize them...
Time flies! They are all doing GREAT! Obnoxious little twits that they are! It is official...I have 2 boys and 5 girls! Good grief! Names have been changed a bit, they are now Tippy, Tuck, Tiny, Shady, Sandy, Bullseye, and Patrick! lol! Patrick really doesn't fit does it? Oh well....they...
Well, the babies are now exactly 2 weeks old (will post pics in a bit.) 3 of them, Splotch, Bullseye and Patrick all have 1 eye that keeps getting glued shut. I take a washcloth and warm water and clean them out, then they stay open till the next nap. The vet's is out of the question, b/c...
I started a new thread just so you all could see these adorable pictures!
Everyone is doing well...even the one I was concerned about. Dutchess leaves them when I come in to room to use the litterbox and eat, so I think I have been dubbed the official baby-sitter...poor me! lol! I love it...
One of the kittens that I just saw isn't moving very much and is cold already...it did move a bit, but I don't think will be surviving long...what can I do?
Sorry, but that is all I know at the moment! It is 5 am here and it all started about an hour ago...she is in her box with her back to me, so while I hear kitten voices I can't tell you how many I hear! Will post an update in a bit!
I will definitely be taking a nap today...lol!
She wants out of my room so bad...she really is in true labor this morning...apparently she wants to have them in one of my kids rooms... not a good idea unless we want kittens that accidentally get stepped on, besides, her box is set up in my room...I can't stay with her constantly though...my...
1) Occasional panting
2) CONSTANT lip licking
3) Massive cleaning
4) Hardly any movement on her part
5) Warlock won't leave her alone! (She is locked up in our room again now, so he can't get to her)
6) Kittens are nowhere near as active either
The only thing that worries me is that I (ewww)...
As I believe I mentioned, this is unfortunately her second litter....My lovable little cat doesn't seem smart enough to know when to have the babies...I know, that sounds crazy. BUT, look at the facts...she has been having the feline equivalent of Braxton-Hicks contractions for about 3-4 days...
Okay, here it is...I think. With this link I think you can edit my pictures...please don't though! The html tag generator gave me too many and I couldn't delete! I know..I am a photobucket idiot, but I just created the account!
Anyway, here it is...
We did wind up going out to dinner anyway, locked her in my bedroom bathroom closet....lol...(three rooms, all connected) and did so again when we went to bed, but still nothing....I will post some pictures if I can figure out how....My male keeps swatting at her like she has offended him...
Let's see....she had a few contractions on my lap, ears back, looking scared, claws grabbing....then, went to the food bowl to nibble just a bit, then, back to the family room floor to lay down...also ears back, looking scared and claws making some appearances....do you think? Maybe, possibly...
Geez, I REALLY thought it would be sometime in the last 24 hours! How does everyone get through this nasty waiting? As I type she is laying all awkward on the floor...doesn't look very comfortable, but I am not seeing a lot of belly movement today...bit worrisome....Anyway, thanks for...
I know my little girl is due to have her kittens any day now, but how can I tell when? She has had a discharge for a couple days, is really lethargic and I can even see the kittens moving around in there, but still she is preggo.
