I posted on another group but thought if introduce myself here. Excuse my laziness but I'll just repost my introduction here :)

I adopted an abandoned cat, the owners were kicked out of their house and just left her there! The landlord(my husband's friend) asked if we wanted her and for some wonderful reason my husband who is not a cat person at all said yes! Anyway, the landlord said he thinks she is about 4 months old. I noticed her belly was slightly swollen and my first thought well she's too young to go in heat(I thought that happened later) maybe she has parasites really badly. After trying to figure out why her kidneys were so low, the vet realized she is pregnant! she guessed 3-4 weeks. I personally disagree with that but what do I know?! I'm told she probably has 2 kittens in there. I was given the option to spay her now but I just couldn't do it. But I will definitely do it after she has her babies! She is a beautiful kitty, a gray american bobtail we are told but she is a rumpy, no tail at all! and her first night with us, she laid right on my husband's chest, and I do believe she is slowly turning him into a cat person, or she is at least trying her hardest to do so:)

I will here most likely asking a lot of kitty preggo questions and newborn kitty questions, look forward getting to know everyone!

Going by the picture, it sure looks like Penelope has already completed your husband's conversion! 
 Good for her, and you, and your great husband for taking her in.
