Another expected delivery Friday

I did go to her site and absolutely love the kittens with black in them. I love the all black male too. Decisions, decisions. I am so confused as what the future holds. I need some time to do some serious thinking and brainstorming with hubby.

for a great birth tomorrow. xx

Thanks Ruthy, I am expecting all things to be perfectly normal.

I just can't wait for them. I just went into the cat room for the first time since baby passed, it was hard for me, but I knew it needed to be rearranged for Oreo and her newborns. Needed to make my bed in there etc. All is ready to go, whenever Oreo is

Oh wow I bet you are sooo excited, I am and its not my kitty, wish I lived closer, I want one It must be hard for you but something good is coming out of all of this.xx

I keep checking every time I sit down at the computer. Come on kittens, we want to meet you!

Tamrarae, trust me, I check Oreo's behind quite often too, almost as often as I check this site. LOL.

I am very very excited now, but no vaginal discharge yet. Molly had her mucus plug right almost out about 6 hrs before the birth...which was midnight when we went to bed. Oreo hasn't been licking her bottom either.

I am still believing it will be tomorrow night, she IS due tomorrow. Cats are notorious for giving birth at night. Her mom was only 4 hrs after midnight of her due date. I don't want to get cocky though and confident that she will definitely have them tomorrow, my cats have made me look like a fool before LOL just not often with due dates. Molly was day 65.

I will definitely be on here as soon as it happens. I have a laptop but I can't find the charger for it. Hubby thinks he doesn't have it (which I know he does somewhere in his desk). I need him to let me investigate!! I just hate touching his desk. If I find it, I will be able to announce the birth AS its happening.

I keep checking this thread too.

Good luck to you and momma!

Of course, it's after 1am here and I can't sleep. No babies yet guys....I will keep you all posted throughout the day tomorrow with any visible signs. She was more lovey tonight, but I made sure to pay more attention to her. I've been not myself all week and I think the cats have picked up on it and have left me to sort it out. They're so intuitive.

Molly showed more love to me later tonight in bed, which is an improvement since our baby died. She hasn't looked for him once, nor cried out. I believe she's grieving in her own way by not loving me up like she normally does. She always sleeps with me under the covers and she hasn't since he died. It makes my heart hurt that much worse. Soon though, I will be made to feel better once I have babies in the house to take care of.

I'm another one who keeps checking this thread for updates.

A big for Molly AND Oreo. Another one for YOU!

just checking

Nuttin! I am going shopping after lunch to pick up next week's supplies of cat food and cat litter. I'll only be gone an hour, I know she's not ready yet.

It will happen though, that much I know for sure LOL

Looking forward to hearing an update

Sam, there are no signs of anything immediate LOL. I have seen her bottom more often than any of my other cats LOL. I have checked her thoroughly quite often today. She's been sleeping and resting alot. Been very warm and sunny here, so she laid in the sunshine on the back of my loveseat in front of a large window in my front room most of the afternoon.

I wonder if I tell her to go into labour if she'd listen?? LOL I'm sure she wouldn't.

As soon as it happens, there WILL be an update with pics, I promise

So exciting! When it happen, don't forget to take pictures!! I hope it will happen soon, because anxiously!!
Did you find your laptop's charger so we can get the news live?!!

I'd let her be alone for a bit, the constant checking and supervision could be stressing her out and cause her to hold in the kittens. You'll know when she's giving birth and you'll be able to tell right away if she is in any kind of distress.

I've had cats lose their mucus plus over a week before delivery. And some lose it and you never know because they were so quick to clean things up. You just want to watch for any blood or green discharge, other than that, get some sleep and let her have some time to be alone and do what momma cats do best.

I often set up a web-cam so I can watch the momma cats without stressing them out with my presence. Even the sweetest pet can become stressed when giving bith, and the last thing you want to do is make her so anxious that she perceives you as a threat and destroys her kittens.

Good luck, and for a safe delivery.

Well, no babies but she slept with me all night. I keep my expecting moms in the spare room/cat room so they're not tempted to give birth somewhere I can't locate them. My house is 3800 sq ft with lots of nooks and crannies, storage spaces and a whole whack more nooks LOL

She didn't seem stressed or anything with me last night, but she's roaming the house now that I'm up.

This isn't my first time waiting for babies. She'll tell me when it's time

I don't find that the constant checking stresses them out. I know my cats are my babies and they are used to me fussing over them 24-7 anyway.

I know we're talking about Sphynx for this litter but Persians NEED you with them. We literally hold their paws.

Well, like I've said earlier this litter is a Devon Sphynx cross. I am ALWAYS with the moms as they deliver. I just HAVE to be there. There are so many things that can go wrong, and I'd not know what to do if I lost the mom due to a hemorhage issue. I am always on the lookout for adverse events during birth.

I know cats can have babies all on their own. But I know too much about what can go wrong when you're absent. I've heard horror stories. I just don't want to play any part in that scenario.

I am a mother hen when it comes to this.

Aaaah, but no babies yet!! I really need to have a heart to heart with Oreo. She needs to know that it's time LOL
