More than 6 or 7!
That would be a crazy bunch!!

You don't know how many times I've tried. She just gives me this look that says, "I'll have them when I want!"

New guess. Wednesday, and 8 kittens LOL.

Elsa had 8. And the night before she had them she had to start lying on her back; she couldn't even lie down any other way!

Wow, 19!!! That is ALOT of kittens! One of my fosters have 8, but 5 died within the first week, so I've never really have more than 5 at a time...
And, no, still no babies
I'm almost positive that it should be before friday since that will be 2 weeks since we got her, and I've felt them moving since then. Her cold isn't getting much better, so I think that we're might have to take her into the vet tomorrow

Yes, 420 kittens is not something to strive to (I am glad the Book of Records will no longer include things like that and weight to stop people abusing their animals)

The largest litter I can remember at the shelter is 9 and 2 did not survive, we had quite a few healthy litters of 7 though

did you see the oldest mom? She was 30 when she gave birth to her last litter. How is that even possible?

I have no idea...why would someone do that!? One litters bad enough...
Aaaaannnnnnnnddddd still NO babies!! The shelter just called, and they were really surprised she hadn't had them yet too! It's gotta be soon. I dunno how much longer I can wait for!!! Those babies have just been beating her up from the inside for well over a week now!

She is so precious. She's very affectionate. I bet she will a very nurturing mommy. I'm glad she has you to care for her during this time. I loved the video. I'm surprised she can still get up to get loving cuz --she's so big!!!

Poor girl--it doesn't look like she's able to sleep that comfortably at her current size. I haven't ever been around pregnant cats before, but her nipples certainly look like they're larger than normal (maybe a sign she's closer to delivery?).

They've been that big for 2 weeks, if you can beleive it!
I really hope she will have them soon! I can't wait for the itty-bitty-kitties!

Oh my goodness, look at those nipples sticking out!
Lovely fluffy belly she has. I'm sure her kittens will be very cosy as they suckle.
