I don't know how many of you remember me from the summer. We had Murphy who ended up having 4 healthy kits... we found great homes for all of the kits, unfortunately Murphy had to have a few surgeries for a prolapsed rectum. The vet seems to think it was from kitten birth, as she was on quality cat foot. It ended up happening multiple times, and she had to be put to sleep. =O( SOOOOOOOO... then I had my 3 boys.. one of the kits from the litter, the Siamese and the Tuxedo cat. With the money that was put out in the surgeries for Murphy we were short on fundage for the boys to be neutered, but then again.. we had no females in the house, so it was not a huge hurry.
Here's where the turn happened. My son brought home this kitten. It is a female, and it was COLD outside so I felt bad. I took her to vet.. and they guesstimated her to be 3 months old or so. They said she would not need to be spayed just yet... so ok. They told me to wait 2 months and then schedule it. So, needless to say.. They guessed her age wrong, and she is now heavily pregnant. AND YES, before anyone jumps down my throat.. the boys are being neutered this next week. I am not really sure when she mated... so I am kind of new to this guessing thing. I pretty much knew wen Murphy had mated, so guessing the due date was fairly easy.
The past week to week and a half the babies have been MOVING all over the place... I can't notice any milk in, but her nipples are crusty... which is new. She has been VERY affectionate towards me the past 2 days, which is a bit new for her... She is meowing more... and she does the kneading thing ALOT.. along with purring. Any guesses on when she would be ready? I'm guessing within the next few days....
I never even saw her in heat or anything... it just blows my mind. BUT I have had her now for a while, so I know she had to have gotten pregnant here, and not outside before she was brought in. She is a beautiful tabby, named Ali, as she was found in an alley!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much girls. It was such an exciting time with Murphy, and I'm back in this same place.. but the waiting is OH so hard to do.
