Waiting Game

Hi guys. I have a very pregnant Siamese mix and she is due any time now. Anyone else playing the exciting waiting game? I'm making myself nuts. Lol

We do have some others waiting for kittens too. Feel free to post a picture of your little mama. I hope everything goes well with the birth.

Thank you[emoji]128522[/emoji]

Anything yet? If not, lots of luck and I hope everything will go well!! I have 4 more weeks to wait 

Still nothing. Shes around 63 days pregnant today. I'm trying to stay busy so I will stop following her around lol

The time will go by fast. The end of pregnancy is the hardest for me because I don't want to miss it and the excitement kicks in

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.

Thank you. I've experienced a few births. Some traumatic unfortunately. But every time I still read all the info.thanks again[emoji]128522[/emoji]

Here's the new mommy Charlotte with her 4 new babies born this morning.

Oh, very cute, I love the piano effect of the dark and light colours. She looks content.

Congratulations! I hope all is well with mom and babies

Thank you both. So far everything is going great. They have been eating all day

Now to find them a vet for vaccines and spay/neuter. I know it'll be a about 12 weeks til then but I want to be prepared.

It is always good to get to know a vet before you actually need one, just in case of emergencies. So you are wise to start looking and talking to possible vets now. Try to find one who is experienced with kittens - not all are.

Splendid!  Congrats!

The white ones are almost surely points to be.  The dark are tabbies?

The father was thus a tabby and also carrier of the point gene.  That gene pair was one gene tabby -which is dominant, and the other gene point, which is recessive.

And his children got one each, but of two different sorts, precisely as the statistics hints should be.

The mom is of course, a double point carrier.

That's what I told my husband. Those white boys will look like mommy. Thank you for that info. Do you know what mix the mommy might be? She sheds a lot and has very soft hair and of course has those gorgeous colors and blue eyes. The grey babies are tabbies. They have stripes showing already [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I'm sure it'll be hard to say what mix a cat is. Sorry if my question is silly. How did you learn about the genes? That is awesome.

he is so tired from all that nursing [emoji]128525[/emoji]
