Nipple, tail.. WHATEVER I'M HUNGRY!

Freddie is a very protective Momma! She barely tolerates my weighing the kittens each day, and, in fact, tries to snatch them back the second I move my hand away to get the weight...so it looks like I'll be doing group shots for a bit. The advice I got here was amazing! It really made the...

Btw is there a limit on kitten pictures I can post? I'm going to make digital scrapbooks for each kitten's future family...I thought you guys might enjoy kitten pics as much as I do, and I'd be happy to post the best of. Would you all like/am I allowed to post updates?

Apparently I miscounted, because Freddie just gave birth to 6 kittens. Finally! The first was, again, born in my lap, but thankfully I was able to get Freddie to move to the box for the rest. Three are light, like her, and three are calicoes. The four she's let me weigh this far came in at...

That site is great! Thanks!

Wanted to add a picture of the only non-furniture thing she's taken a liking to. Other than this she sticks to the backs of couches and chairs and has not shown an interest in her standard carpeted cat scratcher...aside from finding the treats I hide on it. ;) After reading the great info...

Thanks so much, these are great suggestions!

Every article I have read states that breech presentation occurs up to 40% of kitten births, and are not a cause for concern?

Thanks StephenZ! We are not considering declawing. From everything I've read, it seems highly undesirable...to the point of cruelty. In the articles on this site about training where to scratch, they mentioned also using a repellant spray. Does anyone have any experience using these detterent...

I generally move myself, not her, to try to clip. I wait until she's comfy and then try to do as many as can before she gets feisty. It's so weird, she is the most affectionate cat I have ever met, belly rubs, paw rubs ...anything makes her purr, but try to clip the tiniest bit of a nail and...

Re: de-clawing alternates. We have been working with Freddie, attempting to get her used to regular nail trimming and encouraging her to scratch in appropriate places... But we're having absolutely no luck, she loses her mind if we trim even the tiniest amount. Not really a huge issue, as my...

Nevermind! I just saw one move!!! :)

Thanks StephenZ! Air conditioner installed, and since she's not making any mess, just looking dirty, ill leave her be for now. I still haven't felt or seen kittens moving, though we must be at, or less, than two weeks away. Two weeks from now would be at least 65 days of her moving in. Forgive...

Two new questions: 1. Freddie has stopped cleaning the area around her anus well. There is a constant small smear of feces. I clean her box a couple times daily and have only found regular, well-formed poop, and she is still actively engaged in self cleaning... I think she's just having trouble...
