Hello All,
I have a pregnant girl-I am a cat breeder but still fairly new, I have had one litter-
this girl has gained not much weight at all during her pregnancy, she is on day 60 today but eats well today a lot-and I am wondering does little weight gain mean tiny litter or can little weight gain mean big litter too
She is already is expressing milk also-does anyone know how soon kittens may come once milk is apparent.

Thanks,

I would guess that a small ammount of weight gain would mean a small litter, not a large one.
My cat did not get milk untill after she had her fist baby, and boy after that the milk came rushing in. I think I've heard that after milk comes it could be up to a week before she delivers.

My queens usually delivered within 48 hrs when I could experss milk. As long as she's eating good and no other problem, she's probably fine. She may only be carrying less then 4 kittens and that's why she's not gained weight like a cat that would have over 4. You might even get one or two.

BTW what kind of cat is she? Pictures?

Yes I was also wondering what kind of cat you breed. It would beinteresting to see pictures of her and the male you bred her too. So we can imagine the outcome.

Oh interesting combo in colors. Pictures? What lines are they out of? Have they been shown? If so, to what level? Do you have a website?
