Another expected delivery Friday

Well, I hadn't wanted to share this event with TCS only because I fear being flamed for my decision. My Oreo, Devon Rex, was bred by my Sphynx and is due Friday. I know in the past I've had comments made to me about crossing the two breeds, but this practice is still allowed in TICA. Oreo has Sphynx in her from her mother who is a Devon Sphynx cross.

If you feel the need to bash me, please don't. I have had one of the worst days in a long while losing Zippy yesterday. I cried myself to sleep last night.

I just couldn't bear not speaking about the pregnancy any longer. I am excited about it, Oreo is healthy and has been blood-typed. She and Monty are both A. The vet said she is going to "have a few" and is doing really well through her pregnancy. I have three kittens already on hold for persons wanting one of her kittens from me.

I have some very good friends here and that's why I wanted to share. I love my cats to death, and if someone wants to purposely hurt me by telling me this is a wrong decision, please don't waste your time on me.

This birth is the only thing keeping me from sinking into a hole and never coming out. If I thought this was wrong to do, I wouldn't have allowed it.

Oreo is a sweet cat, one whom I delivered and raised from the very second she came out. Her siblings are all doing well and are in very loving homes. I keep contact with the new owners, as they're friends of ours.

Thanks for listening. Let's hope for a great delivery with no problems.

I hope Oreo does well and you have some wonderfully cute kitties when she's done. Do Devon/Sphynx mixes come with hair? What colors are you expecting, and any idea how many kittens she's going to have?

Sorry about the kitten.
He died on the Aniv of my Patches dying.
tamarae,
Sphynx can be outcrossed with Devon Rex,ASH and DSH in TICA.
In CFA Devon Rex is not allowed.
Kittens can be fully furred.
Some are as bare as my Cleo who is a outcross.
She has ASH in her.
I knew about Oreo being preg and why Susan did not post here about it.

Hi, firstly, so sorry for your loss of Zippy. I don't know anything about pure bred cats and breeding really. I just wanted to say I hope all goes well and pleeeaaasssseee post piccies of the kittens xx

tamarae, the kind of kittens will depend on what genes are expressed. Since both Devon Rex and Sphynx genes are both recessive, I really don't know what to expect. This will be my first time delving into the outcrossing of the two, and it will be interesting to see what happens. Oreo's mother is half n half so Oreo's genes were diluted even more when my Devon male bred Oreo's mom.

I don't know how many she will have, but Devons usually have 4 at the most in a litter. I have seen 5 on the net, but not personally. Bonnie just had the 4 born.

It is exciting just to know that there are babies coming without blood incompatibility issues. I am getting my other Sphynx female blood typed tomorrow as she is 3 weeks pregnant and I will need to definitely know.

Jacky, thank you for your condolences. I saw that about your Patches on facebook but I was so upset I didn't post to you. For that, I am sorry. I do know the pain, yes it was a long time ago, but you never forget those you have lost.

Ruthy, don't worry, I will be definitely posting pictures of the babies. Thanks to all who have posted thus far for not bashing me. It is appreciated.

Sending lots of vibes for the upcoming arrivals hun, and I'm another one who can't wait for pics!

Well, I think while we are waiting, we need to see pictures of Oreo and Monty!!!

Oh I suppose you may not have seen them.

Here are some pics, albeit they're a bit older.

Here is Monty. I love this pose, it captures his personality perfectly.


Here is Oreo. She is only 6 months here but she still looks exactly the same but bigger.

You know how I feel

The parents are beautiful

Thanks Sam! I have 8 cats and I love each one so much, sometimes TOO much. I don't think though that you can ever love anyone too much.

I am expecting for colors out of this litter to be black, black/white, grey, grey/white, brown mackeral tabby and possibly all white. Monty is brown mackeral tabby and white Van and oreo obviously black and white and a tuxedo. I was correct when I had predicted my Bonnie's litter of kittens and she had not one the same

Wow, with parents like those, the babies are going to be STUNNING!

Awww, thanks Kaille, it will be interesting to see what she does have. Only a couple days now!!! I am going to check later this morning if her milk is in yet. First, I must go back to bed. This MS fatigue is bad.

I don't know anything about breeding, but I do know you love your cats and would not do anything harmful or wrong to them.
I am wishing you all the best with the delivery and healthy kittens.

Wishing u and momma cat the best with delivery and healthy babies and momma I have a cat her name is Mya! She was seen last week at the vets office the vet said that she would have her kittens by tues. of this week and I am still waiting lol.. she recently broke her pelvis back in Dec. vet says she may have to have a c-section if she doesnt have a kitten with in the first 12 hours of labor so i have to watch for labor signs! I am so excited and just cant wait for her to go into labor..Im also so stressed and just want to get this over with so I know everything is ok! Hoping for the best for yours and mine

I'm sorry about your Zippy, he was a cute kitty.

I hope this goes better for you and that you have survivors this time.

I'm pretty confident that this birth and the litter will be just fine.

I just got my other Sphynx girl blood typed today and she is also incompatible with my stud. Aaaaarrrrrgh!!!

Now I'm on the hunt for a B blood type boy, not easy.

Any babies yet?

No, no babies yet but her milk is in so it should be soon. She is due tomorrow and her mom was right on time when she delivered her last year in December (08). She's gotten quite big, so it IS getting more exciting. I need babies to come soon, as I'm still in a funk from losing my Zippy.

Just got off the phone with Janice. She is a really great lady, very nice. I will be contacting her via email, as she emailed me after I gave her my email just now.

Don't worry guys, pics will be plentiful!! Just need a birth now, and i'll be all set!!
