Well, bit of a sad update, second kitten was stillborn. Things got touchy and I drove to emergency vet, which is an hour away. She delivered on the way, and I tried to revive it to no avail. It just was too far of a drive I suppose. Confirmed there are no more kittens inside, so she just has...
I think we might be back in action! I'm pretty sure I'm seeing contractions every few minutes now, for about 45 minutes so far. She's restless, can't decide where she wants to be- in her box, under a chair, on the bed, under the bed... it's about 20 til midnight now, wondering if we'll have a...
Mama has a bit of pink-tinged slimy looking discharge (idk how to describe it, not thick like a mucus plug, but looks stretchy? Lol like she had a thin "string" of it hanging down before she cleaned herself up). Not sure if it's just normal afterbirth discharge, or maybe bloody show signaling...
Apologies, I hit post before I'd typed anything!
Kitten is doing great, I was not able to reach under the couch yesterday to grab her, but I weighed her today at 123g. She has a great appetite and a nice full tummy!
I was able to lure mama out from the couch and put her and baby into her...
Hi all, I recently took in a pregnant stray. I wasn't sure how far along, but she was obviously very pregnant, and I could see movement in her belly when she would lay down. This was about a week ago.
Anyway, she gave birth to a single kitten under our couch yesterday morning. My son heard the...
Hi guys! Just wanted to update- Gotham and Harley are now grooming each other! Yay! Ivy is still leery of Gotham but still no more growling or hissing! I think we're making good progress!
Hi all! So, we got Gotham a little over two weeks ago. He has been living in our bedroom, the safe room, the whole time. We had the cats trade spaces many many times, smell each other through the door, eating near each other, seeing each other through the door, and finally have introduced them...
Ginny, the kids are 2, 5, 7, 8, and 11. I do not (and will not) leave them alone with Gotham. The 2yo sits in my lap when she's in my room with him, and I hold her hands while she has the toy to make sure she's not too rough. He is surprisingly not as afraid of the 2yo as he is the 8yo, I guess...
Thank you all for your responses and encouragement! Gotham is slowly seeming more comfortable the more I am in the room doing other things besides focusing on him. He actually came onto the bed early this morning (4am lol) for a quick cuddle (maybe 3 minutes) and I got a head butt! He is still...
Hello! I am concerned my new fur-baby does not care for me. We picked up Gotham two days ago, he is approximately 3 months old. He was found abandoned in a field on Halloween when he was approximately 1 month old, and has been hand raised since then. On our way home he was crying in his...
