Yeah I'm gonna need the heavy stuff. I don't think a flea comb alone can take this. It seems they're multiplying by the hour. One flea last night was 5 fleas today. Who knows how many I'm not seeing. Ugh she was flea free before, too! Flea collars are a big no-no, right? That's all I have...
Only two babies. One boy, a dark tabby, and a girl, looks tabby w/ some random ginger splotches. MJ has been doing great! She is recovering well, eating and drinking plenty and the babies are quite content. I have to modify the nest box. It's a bit small, but all I had available at the time. It...
Mary Jane went into labor about an hour ago. I just knew it was going to be today. She's been in her nesting box all day and her teats were very swollen and hanging. Sure enough, when the real contractions began she called for us (DH and I!)

That's pretty cool. I'm anxious to see if she calls for me when it's time. She's certainly very much bonded to me. I'm the only one who can touch her belly at all. She attacks my husband if he even tries but she rolls right over for me, hehe.
I'm a total newb on here, but I stumbled across this while exploring and would be interested in joining y'all. I really need some more motivation to lose this weight. I just had a baby in February and have gained 20lbs since delivery! I have battled weight issues for years. Obesity is quite...
So I think we're getting pretty close. Mary is beginning to nest and now has plenty of spots to choose from. Just yesterday we began seeing the babies move from the outside. Her nipples have some crust and it appears that she is having some discharge as she cleans herself quite often. Today...
