Congrats on the upcoming litter It sounds like she is pretty close! The "plug" is just a clear glob of mucous....Unless you actually see it coming out, you will just notice that the area around the vulva is wet and goopy after she passes it. Good luck, and I hope you have lots of healthy...
They are! They're starting to look like kittens and not rats..lol. A couple of them look like their eyes are starting to open. There's little slits in the eyelids now. I can't wait! My son is going to be leaving for church in about 1/2 an hour, so I am going to try to pick them up while...
Thanks. I did check the kitten over, and he seems to be fine. I'll try handling the kittens a bit today and see how Cleo reacts. She had never been worried or stressed about me handling them, so hopefully she'll be ok with it. Can you believe they're already a week old today?! Time goes by...
I forgot to ask, should I still be handling the kittens? I have been picking them up and holding them a few times a day, and Cleo never seemed to mind me doing so. She'd even leave the room while I was holding one. I'm just wondering if maybe she moved them out of my room to get them away...
Thanks Hissy and Tania I have calmed down a tad...lol. She is back to being a good mom again, so I'm not worried about her hurting them anymore. She has been scouting out the new spot I set up for her in my room. Hopefully she's just waiting for me to go to bed to move them again. I knew...
There isn't really another room to put him in.. I am trying to get ahold of my friend in town, she might be willing to take Charlie for a couple weeks. I'm also concerned with them being out here in the living room because I have a 3 year old boy. I've told him he can't touch the babies, but...
Cleo is in the process of moving her babies out into the living room, behind the end table by the couch. She tried bringing one out earlier, and I put the baby back into the bed in my room where they've been living. She then went into my room, and it looked like she tried to kill the baby that...
Awww.....The kittens have started purring! Their little purrs are so cute! They are getting so big. I think they have atleast grown 4 or 5 times bigger than they were when they were born.
Well, I was finally able to sex the kittens last night. man they're getting big arlready! So, we have a very light orange/cream male, a grey and white male, a black/brown tabby male and a black/brown tabby female They are getting to be so cute! I've already singled out my favorite..of course...
Thanks I am a VERY proud grandma! She delivered all 5 kittens in less than 2 hours! And I didn't mind taking the sacs off their faces..lol. I may have been a bit over anxious in that regard. If she didn't turn around and clean off their faces immediately, I went in..lol. But, they're all...
Ok..she's not doing any of that. Thanks I was surprised at how much she was eating today..lol. She ate about 3/4 of a bowl of kitten chow in one sitting! She seems very happy and healthy, and actually has almost no discharge at all. Thanks Tania! Like always, you put my mind at ease!
I felt her belly again today, and I felt that "thing" in there again. Maybe it's her stomach, who knows. Do any of you know of any smptoms she would show if he did retain a kitten? All the placentas were delivered still attatched to the kittens, so it's not a retained placenta. I just really...
Thanks I am watching her. I can't feel anything in there anymore, so I think it was something else I was feeling, and not a kitten. She is eating and drinking and using the litter box. Everything seems to be great. She isn't having any abnormal discharge or anything.
I think it must have been her stomach or something I was feeling yesterday. She still has 4 babies, and I don't feel anything in there anymore. After eating all that stuff she ate, it could have been her stomach..lol. It was just a big round lump that I felt. But, that's ok. We've got 4...
Well, #6 still hasn't come out, but since it's "normal" to have up to a 24 break in between, I'm not freaking out yet Mom and the 4 healthy babes are doing great. And the stillborn must have died just prior to, or during delivery. It was fully develloped, and the same size as the rest of...
Thanks I'm not worried though. They're all nursing and active. Poor Cleo's so pooped she can't even meow...lol. We're still only at 5, but I can still feel atleast one more..and that's only on the one side..lol. I don't want to miss it though, because I have had to take the sacs off their...
