    Are natural parasite remedies safe for pregnant or nursing cats? (fleas & worms)

    My pregnant cat has worms and fleas. I know some natural remedies to treat them, but I'm not sure if they are safe for a very pregnant kitty. For her fleas, I plan to use a little ACV (apple cider vinegar) mixed into the cat's water. It has worked on my other cats.  For her worms, I was...

    Kittens have been moving inside her for over a week, still no labor symptoms..?

    My girl Venus should be ready to give birth to her babies, but I'm not sure when. I have been able to feel her kittens moving inside her for over a week now, and today they feel 3-5 inches long and are moving a whole lot (it makes her jump up.) This will be her first litter, and she is 1 year...
