I don't know if vets in the UK are willing to perform pediatric spaying/neutering..but if you can get the kittens spayed/neutered before they go to live in their new home, that would be best. That way, they wouldn't have to worry about any accidental escapes.

i know where i am the vets will not spay untill 51/2 months - 6 months old.
we are very behind in the uk.
but i do know you can set up a contract for them to sign before there homed. saying if they dont get them S/N by 6-7 months you have the right to take the cat back. i think you can get this done through a rescue, they will help you. and sometimes even give vouchers for the new owners to make it easier.

Still no babies

Here is a nice addition to her food. I gave to Skittles she had big babies LOL I mixed KMR with her food and then gave her 4oz also as milk she loved it. She had alot to feed in her so I figured it was best. SHe did great and was back to walk the catwalk 6 weeks later.

oooooooo, so we have to all be very patient and wait a little bit longer

keep us posted and heres some scritches for Bubbles

no babies yet poor bubbles. give her ear scratches from me. Is she nesting yet.

yes she is nesting i have now managed to get her to go into a cage and sleep so hoping that where she is going to have the babies she seems to be spending alot of time in there over the last couple of days but at nights she is very restless she spends hour just pacing up and down and can't seen to get comfortable you can now clear see the babies moving around when she is resting her poor little belly is going like a gooden i am so confused as to when she is actully due we worked it out the first time to be anytime now and then when we worked it out the second time she is due between 10th and 14th march is there any signs to look out for that might tell be when she is due

many thanks

Trudi the kittens will work themselves into ' position' when she is really due to give
birth,the kittens will work their way down from the upper abdomen to the lower abdomen and you will see visible sgns that they have got into position because
if you look at mums belly when she's lay down you will see the bulge,and it will have
dropped to the groin area.
When that happens then she is close to birth.no exact time like but it's close

hi there just thought you might like to see some recent pic's of the expectant mum









this is the size of her belly today ( i think she has got a while yet ) but saying that she has got four teats with milk in and has pulled all hair away from them

Trudge...please if possible, resize your photos...photos that large can take a long time to load for someone who is using dial up.

Trudge I say maybe 2 weeks at most. Mom looks so cute in the basket.

she looks a lot closer then anne does , she has no milk atall yet and she has about 10 days to go, and she still has some hair around her nipples.
may i ask what is that on her side ? looks like a reaction to something? btw shes lovely.

looks like a pit rash hmmm.

she got herself court up in some barb wire a few monthes ago and kept on at it would not let it heal took her vet they get her tablets to take and it is final clearing up now ( it looks awful i know ) if only she had left it alone at the start it would of healed by now

aww bless her. it dosnt look awful i was just curious lol

hi all just to let you know i took bubbles to the vets this evening for a general checkup and the vet has said everything if fine and that she think bubbles has got about a week - ten days left she checked heartbeats and said they are all very strong and asked if i wanted to know how many she could here but i said no cos it will be a nice surprise

trudi

i would have said yes lol just so i know how many to expect and make sure she roughly has in case of any diffcultys. she is due about the same time as lilly she has about 9 days or so left.
btw my cousion lives in devon . hows the weather ?

it's typical devon weather rain rain and more rain lol

i don't mind not knowing cos i have the vets mobile numbers and have been told if i'm at all worried about her then ring day or night

aw thats ok then , besides he should have a rough guess so if you do need to phone him he can let you know roughly how many he could hear. i wasnt asked if i wanted to know but he did say he could only feel about 2.
i know the feeling with all the rain , done nothing else all day here in london

we are in a foot in 1/2 snow here so I am also stuck inside.

Cats carry babies on 2 sides and to be honest in my opinion I do not think vets can really tell how man because I was told Skittles had 4-5 at most. then it was 7 or 8 on ultrasound she had 13. I think anything over 3 or 4 the vet has a hard time feeling for. But that is just my opinion ok
