    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    It has been a DAY! I have her home in a borrowed crate on top of my washer/dryer right now. It's quite small, but I have someone coming to pick her up late tonight to watch her while she recovers. Then, it sounds like a small shelter in the city where my friend lives that focuses on FIV cats can...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    Well, I was wrong about the parasites! She was pregnant, but lost the kittens at some point and they're still inside her, along with a lot of fluid buildup. They're not sure why it happened, maybe the stress of being a feral kitty in a very hot climate. She's having surgery right now to remove...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    She has an appointment tomorrow morning, first thing! I'm super nervous about catching her. But I'm hoping I can give her a little bit of wet food as usual, when she usually shows up around 8-9pm, then pick her up while she's distracted and drop her in the carrier. (And I'm going to wear layers...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    The problem is that the only crates I have are just carriers for short trips, too small for a cat to really stand up fully and almost definitely too small for me to try to leave food/water in there with a panicking kitty.

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    I'm not waiting on purpose, but I have to find transportation and I have to catch her, preferably at the same time... neither of which are very easy. I'm sure I can grab her and get her in the bigger carrier I have, but she often only comes by at 8PM and it doesn't feel safe at all to keep her...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    This cat still hasn't had kittens, and it's been at least 80 days now unless she showed really early somehow. I'm starting to get worried- she's huge, so either there may be complications or she may have something else, like some terrible case of parasites. :( She's still eating and drinking...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    Somehow, this cat is still pregnant! I know I originally got the date wrong that I first saw her showing, but it was definitely between April 10th-15th, which puts her at 70ish days now.

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    It was from Saturday, I didn't get a chance for a pic last night. I can try again tonight. Good to know she was definitely still pregnant then, though!

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    Alley appeared for about 10 minutes last night (Wednesday) for the first time since Sunday to eat 2/3rd a small can of food, and she absolutely looked thinner to me, but she wasn't here long enough for me to really touch her or get a good look at her belly. When she left I followed her. She...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    I don't think she's super young, I think she's around 4-5. I know I saw her occasionally as an adult cat summer of 2016, so at the very youngest she's probably 2.5-3 years old. This could be her first litter though, she is BIG and I suspect it's a large litter. It's been over 48 hours since I...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    I was sort of shutting the door so she could still open it, which she's been doing and disappearing every morning. She didn't show up at all yesterday night and isn't here during here normal time tonight, so I think she may have had the kittens. I wonder if she didn't want to have them here...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    She came by tonight! I'm fairly certain she is still pregnant. She ate a bit more than she has been eating tonight, and is now hanging out in my outside closet. She was also around for about 4 hours by choice, and I feel like she wouldn't stay that long if she had kittens hiding somewhere. Not...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    Thanks for the replies!! She hasn't disappeared for quite 24 hours yet, after she stopped being here 24/7 she would appear for about an hour once it gets dark, and again once before it gets light. I read that too and tried playing kitten sounds last night. She quickly figured out it was my phone...

    How To Tell If A Cat Has Given Birth?

    I have a stray cat (Alley) who has been hanging around my apartment complex for nearly a year. She's become pretty friendly with people, but we haven't been able to trap her to get her TNRed. Well, then she showed up about 4 weeks ago showing pregnancy, so I started feeding her kitten food and...

    Maine Coon in Arizona

    I have a very fluffy/long haired Maine Coon mix and we live in Tucson, Arizona where it's supposed to start getting in the 110s next week outside. I'm worried about her handling the heat. She's an indoor cat, but my apartment tends to be pretty warm (75-80 degrees F,) and she also loves to go...

    Cat with bad litterbox aim

    I have a 16 year old male cat who has never quite understood that he has to get his whole butt in the litterbox, not just his paws, so he always ends up getting cat pee everywhere. Usually he manages to poop in the box, but only usually. He's done it his whole life and vets have never found...

    Cat Agility?

    Has anyone here trained their cat to do agility? I want to try with my 4yo Maine Coon rescue since she's a great jumper and loves running around the house, and so she'll hopefully get over the being bored/destroying the house/peeing in my bed stuff she's got going on if I tire her out. But I've...

    Ways to keep my Maine Coon entertained?

    I had a petco toy similar to da bird, but not actual da bird brand, and she couldn't care less about it :p I just bought a da bird refill online to put on the old toy I had though, so I'll definitely try it when it comes.  Thanks for the articles!! I've been keeping with the harness training...

    Is this aggression or play?

    I had two foster kittens who were siblings and would make the most awful noises when they played, and they did the neck biting too, but it was all play. Like Mani said, maybe Mikey just doesn't know his own strength? I think it's probably just play, and unless you start seeing any of the cats...
