Sugarcatmom, thank you for the information. Is there any better advice that you know of? I alternatively would use saline solution and wondered which one was better.

Today I could feel the kittens moving (kicking, I guess). It was the first time for me to feel that. She had big pupils and didn't like me to touch her belly at start, but then she got comfy and rolled on her back and let us feel a bit more. Still I couldn't estimate how many there are. 

Nice pictures, the gradient coat is stunning, too bad it doesn't last. Hope they are all doing good and no fever. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Kris78, as far as I know, the temperature in the area where you keep the kittens should be 85-90 F (about 31.5 centigrade) for the first two weeks and about 80 after that.

Thank you for adding to this! I didn't know about heating pads that turn off when the cat moves, but you made a very good point about the fact that when the mother gets in, it suddenly becomes way too hot, I would remove it or set it aside from below her once she would come in the nest. In fact...

Your cat was bitten and had an abscess. It will be fine in one or two week. Since you posted 2 weeks ago, your cat is already healed. Just give antibiotics and keep and eye on him. Also rinse the wound with 3% peroxide that you can find at contact lenses section. I have seen the same exact thing...

I was thinking that yours is a good idea, if you intend the crate to be a large cage so the dog cannot enter. I was also thinking a large box with a small cut-off entrance, would and should keep the dog out but let the mother walk in and out as she wish. Also the crate with grid walls would give...

It was very amusing to read about your dreams :) I am a bit confused when you say cats "are contracting for 4 days" and "braxton" and also "they lost their plugs" >.< makes me feel a noob, would you explain to me. I am also very excited with my cat which is due in 2 weeks. I am starting to be...

Hi Levi68, could it be that some intestinal bacteria is causing all this distress? I had this problem with 2 kittens. Two completely different stories, but long story short, just an hour after giving 0.1ml (or little more depending the size of the cat) of antibiotics (clavamox drops) the kittens...

I replied in a PM, Thank you.

I would like to replace the image I put in a post, with the same image but without text that reads the name of my cat's blog. When I did the post I only had the image with the text already there, and, although I would have wanted to post it without the text, I was lazy to find the original...

My cats are not pedigree registered, but thank you for the suggestion OrientalSlave. I will check out that forum.   StefanZ, thank you for sharing your experience and opinion about the issue with the first born kitten. The male cat did not really continue to help but I think that also because...

I have different kind of wet cat food and switch them around so they rotate and my cats get different one every time. Right now I have 3 different brands of food and kind of 3 different variety for each brand. I noticed that my cat would get bored of always eating the same one, which is one...

Hi everyone, I just joined this forum after having reached and read it often.   I have a couple of color-point cats, a male and a female, (they are not related). They both are two years old and the queen is now expecting. This is her second pregnancy. Last year she had 5 kittens but lost the...
