Hi, Lily, Roxie and Shankly are now 6 weeks old and running about mad! They are so much fun to watch - they're definitely keeping us entertained. I've got a couple of questions. Any answers would be most appreciated! 1. They've been urinating for a couple of weeks now but I've still not...

Hi Richi, Your pictures are sooooo cute! Darcy's kittens are just a little bit in front of yours - they're 12 days now. So far, she has moved the kittens twice, once into my wardrobe and now under my bed. Sometimes if they feel the nest is too exposed or you pester them too much they move...

I first noticed little ripples about 2 1/2 weeks before Darcy gave birth. Big kicks started about a week and a half before. You've not got long...!

Some just miaow a lot! When we brought Darcy home when she was 14 weeks old she miaowed non-stop for 2 days - she was just missing her mum/siblings and scared about the move. She still miaows all the time. She's just a very vocal cat. She's just had her own kittens and one of them miaows all...

Congratulations Dani and Lily! What a bunch of cuties I left the soiled bedding in for a day to give them time to rest and get settled before I disturbed them. There wasn't that much blood on it though. If Lily's letting you stroke her and them then I'm sure she'll let you change it.

Following my post yesterday about moving the nest, I decided to leave it alone just now. HOWEVER... Woke up at 2.00am last night to find Darcy moving her 7 day old kittens under the bed. There was nothing under there that consituted a nest so I was really worried that they would get cold or...

Our kittens are now nearly 7 days old and are doing really well so far. When Darcy had them, she chose our bedroom as her nest site so I moved her food, litter and scratching post up there for her. However, it is not that pleasant having her litter next to my bed and I'm finding it hard to...

I wouldn't worry too much about where she is going to have them, as long as you have her confined to one room. When Darcy was in labour last week she moved around a lot, even when pushing. She started in my bedside cupboard, then went under the bed, then next to the bed and for the final...

Hi Richi, I was a bit worried about this too but I think it is normal. My cat Darcy had her kittens four days ago now and on the second day she started to get out of her box more often. She has something to eat while the kittens are sleeping and a little lie outside the box on her own - I...

Thank you, gayef. She did eat all the placentas so I guess they slowed her down a bit. She has just been to her litter and seems more comfortable now. Thanks for your help - I'm a first timer when it comes to newborn kittens and a bit of an anxious granny!

thank you for the replies - you have reassured me. One more question, she's not been for a no. 2 yet since she gave birth yesterday - is that normal?

Hello, My cat gave birth yesterday morning to three kittens and spent all day nursing them. They all look healthy and their stomachs are nicely rounded. My question is, how often is it normal for the queen to leave the nest to eat, etc. at this stage? I heard Darcy get up three or four...

This is it - Darcy is in labour. Unfortunately she's chosen to have them in the bottom shelf of my bedside cupboard! My question is, she has been pushing every 10 minutes or so for about an hour. In between she licks and purrs a lot. Is this classed as hard labour? Will the contractions get...

She is still using her litter. I've not contacted a vet because as soon as I removed the nest and piles of clothes from the bedroom she hasn't peed anywhere else. That's what made me think it was territorial?

Hi, My cat is 59 days pregnant and keeps urinating in the nesting boxes we set up for her. No matter where we put them, if there's a towel in them she has a pee. She has also recenlty had a pee on my a pile of my husband's clothes. She isn't in any pain, or straining, or going more often...
