I wanted to go ahead and update this thread....Amelia FINALLY had her babies this weekend!!! She had a black and white one on Saturday afternoon, and there was an orange and white one as well on Sunday morning. They are super cute! She does leave them any time someone comes into the room, but...

Sooooo cute! 128525

I wanted to give a final update on this thread. Sadly, every one of the orphan kittens passed away as of Wednesday. It was quite devastating, especially for the foster who was trying so hard to save them. You are very right about being thankful that they were able to have a merciful death. That...

Thank you all for the kind words! I am thrilled that things are going smoothly! I am especially happy for Rachel, that she is able to have a warm and safe place to raise some happy and healthy babies before she gets to retire to someone's lap for the rest of her years. :) I am also immensely...

Thank you for the reassurance! She no longer seems distressed at all, thankfully. A new question: how much is it ok for the kittens to gain each day? I know I've read it's supposed to be about 10g, but they have all been gaining more than that. One did only gain 8g the first day, but has more...

Thank you all! I have been busy all day just staring at the cuteness! Rachel is taking good care of her babies, and is eating a lot! Unfortunately, she does have really bad diarrhea, probably from all the afterbirths she ate. She also has been panting today....is that normal? I am worried that...

Rachel nursing her new babies 128512

There's babies!!!! Rachel seemed to alternate between restless and cuddly all night, so I finally went to my room and went to sleep around 2am. Then, I woke up at 6:30 to little squeaks! She has had 5 kittens! They all weigh between 105 and 127 grams, and all seem to be doing well. I'm not sure...

Can cats have false alarms for labor? She was panting and breathing heavily for over an hour, then she took a nap and went back to acting normal. She still hasn't eaten today, but she's just hanging out and cuddling on my lap like nothing happened. I'm confused!

Rachel is finally in labor! She started nesting yesterday, digging around in her box when she usually just naps in it. She also barely ate anything yesterday or today. Now she is grooming a lot, breathing heavy and fast, and panting every few minutes. Hoping to see some sweet, healthy babies soon!

I'm glad the vet was able to help out! How do you use an inhaler for a cat? Is it like a nebulizer treatment? I am going to switch litters and talk to my vet about an X-ray....even though my baby boy has lived so long, I hate to think he's been miserable and having trouble breathing all these...

Oh wow....this is such news to me! My cat coughs with his head stretched out and his body low ALL THE TIME. He's done it for years, though, and the vet has never said a thing, even though he goes in every 3-6 months. He's also had a problem with throwing up for most of his life, but I never...
