Hey! The big cat rescue near me uses Royal Cain as one of their formulas, so if they approve, go for it if you can find it!

been to my local vets they couldn't give me flea treatment as they were sold out of frontline and advantage is done by weight so they wanted her to come in to be weighed before having it, sadly getting her in a crate would mean manhandling her, she is afraid of being outside so add on stress from that and she is also afraid of strangers so even more stress she would just be running away trying to find a place to hide and shes so heavily pregnant I don't want to do that to her, I weighed her myself and shes 3.9kg so I will go back with that weight and if they dont like me doing it myself they said they will have more frontline in on monday.

they were selling kitten milk there and there was also beaphar in the local petshop too so I know where to get the formula if I need it

You've done your homework on the formula! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I don't think you can give frontline to a pregnant cat.  I'll double check and get back to you.

Never mind.  Frontline is fine for pregnant and lactating cats.

yeah vet said frontline was fine, I just personally prefer advantage, I find it works better, but of course wasn't allowed that without her coming in and they were sold out of frontline, I have a friend checking if she has a spare dose that I can use

just adding this picture cos she looks a bit like a bowling ball and I found it amusing :')


she has a real thing for searching for items of clothing around the house to lay on :')

Yes, yes. Bowling ball comparison confirmed. You may be having a litter of pins.

Evening!

so today Shia has been a bit more active than usual, shes been coming downstairs eating a shed tonne, not sure how shes fitting it in there, shes very cuddly today and has been coming for proper cuddles, she wants to be on my lap and to be held, mainly wants her front to be held up a little bit, I assume it may takes a bit of pressure off of her belly, kittens are a bit more quiet today, still some movement but a lot less than usual can only assume they are running out of space, she got a nice old belly rub from me today, didn't have my phone on my to take a photo though, she has cleared the fur from her last for nipples and left the others, 3 of the nipples are still bent and the other one is really short, so still hoping and watching for them to fill out a bit, I'll see if I can get a photo at some point tonight.

daily photo time

Cuddles-


daily top view-


daily side view-


note how in these photos shes finally left my bedroom haha

this is the best I could get as if I stop rubbing she rolls back over again and its hard to rub her belly and take a decent photo at same time, but hopefully can see what I mean in this

The kittens will be able to latch onto those nipples - nothing to worry over! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

thank you  

I'm probably worrying over nothing, I mean I'm even confused to why they haven't turned pink, like her nipples haven't figured out shes pregnant yet, I'm sure she'll be fine, I hope

When is the due date for the litter?

Yeah, they are fine. They'll fill out more too. She's got time.

It may not be good taking this from a worrywart like me, but sometimes a little worry helps you prepare for the worst, just in case it happens. [emoji]128523[/emoji]

momma is a beautiful girl, l can't wait to see the little ones

better to bathe her with Dawn dishwashing liquid tice in a weeks period and should take care of aNY FLEAS OR FLEA EGGS

my son and wife had a cat door and those special collars for their cats and a strange cat came in behind one of theirs one time. Found out of he came in right behind one he could get a free meal and water.

I'm not sure she'd be too happy with that haha, I'm not even sure if she has them, Mylo still isn't scratching, she has been sometimes but I haven't seen any on her, just getting some flea stuff just in case

thats something Mylo would take advantage of! I'm in a rented place though so can't install cat doors, instead theres a tiny window in the tumble dryer room that I leave open for Mylo to come and go, after the trouble with the random stray though I've changed it so now he has to wait for me to let him in and out, until I can get Shia spayed anyway.

Any pre labour signs yet? One day away.
