    Frankie's pregnant..I've got a few questions

    Don't give up - and don't let her fool you. As I just posted in my post about our new arrivals our momma cat defied ALL the "signs" of labor -- her temp stayed regular and, like your cat, her appetite seemed fine (in fact she even ate a bit during labor between kittens!!)......not all cat's...

    Babies babies EVERYWHERE -- SEPTUPTLETS!!!

    Hissy -- oh, she is NOT getting out again, period...she is actually an indoor kitty and we were waiting for her to go OUT of heat so she could be fixed (our vet prefers not to do it while they are *in* due the the possible complications) when she made her escape. For the time being she is...

    Babies babies EVERYWHERE -- SEPTUPTLETS!!!

    I was going to post yesterday but since I was working on one hour of sleep I was feeling a bit punchy and thought it would be better to wait until I was a wee bit more functional.....Thursday night/Friday morning Daisy had SEVEN beautiful babies and mother and children are all doing fine. I...

    The countdown/waiting game begins.....

    So, the vet's "guesstimate" due date for Daisy came and went some two week's ago and after some real brain-wracking and date comparison to events that happened around the same time I am fairly certain I pinned down the timeframe of Daisy's big escape and subsequent breeding ( ) and it would...

    curious, last week of pregnancy?

    First of all, apologies -- it wasn't my intent to frighten you or to make it seem as though *all* singleton litters cause problems/dangers....only to put out the possibilities of what *can* happen in those cases. I am curious as to why your friend thinks more than 3 would kill your cat to...

    curious, last week of pregnancy?

    Actually, she would be more likely to have birthing issues if it were only one kitten as a lot of time singletons grow larger than "average" because they have the advantage of ALL the mother's resources and ALL the room to grow.... You are right not to be poking or prodding - palpation by...

    How accurate is papation dating?? rectal temp sign?

    Well, after much racking of my brain and comparing events around the time frame I *think* I have pinned it down to Daisy's escape happening during the dates I originally thought (around April 22) and since according to the vet's guess (by palpation) we are now at like day #68 and she is not at...

    How accurate is papation dating?? rectal temp sign?

    Pondwader -- sorry for the confusion - when I said what I said about spaying in season is that he does NOT like to spay females actively in heat......maybe I needed to have worded it differently. Thanks for all your input--you actually said much of what I had been thinking (the size of the...

    How accurate is papation dating?? rectal temp sign?

    Our 11 month old female, Daisy, recently managed to escape the house while in heat (we had planned to spay her but she went into heat and our vet prefers not to spay in season females so we were waiting it out). She is our breaking and entering expert (always opening and getting into various...
