My cat moo is preggo and I dunno how far along she is. I can visibly see her kittens moving and she has been VERY affectionate and cannot sit still. :lol3: She seems to be lazy and eats a lot. She is always wanting to be around me and chooses the floor over my bed. Moo also sits and lays in the weirdest positions. I rlly hope she is gonna have them soon. Can someone tell me how long I have left?:D

It's usually about 2-3 weeks after you started feeling kitten movement.

Now is a good time to set up some nest areas for mom. Think dark, quiet places like a closet with the door ajar.

You will also want to get some kitten supplies - a small scale to weigh them daily, and kitten milk replacer and a needleless syringe in case they aren't gaining enough. For the kmr, look for powdered, and we always recommend PetAg as a brand.

Can you keep mom 100% inside and away from intact males until her kittens are weaned? She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery, and without going into heat.

Yes she is gonna be inside. She started nesting a few weeks ago and I'm not exactly sure if I have seen discharge or not. I'm watching her babies move right now. How many weeks do you think I have left to wait?

It's hard to say. When did you first notice movement?

She likely has a couple of weeks left. She also needs to eat as much wet food and kitten chow as she wants to support the pregnancy.

This is moo. I'm assuming she is only having four or less. Last time she had three and two died of a dieses and one lived. He is a male named burrito and right now he is living outside because we want him away from moo. Moo kicked burrito outta the garage for a few weeks and he finally came back the other day. Since then moo has been living inside. She is being fed wet food. I have also been feeding her hamburger and chicken. I'm super exited to see what the kitties turn out to be. I will post pictures when they are born. :clap:

Do you plan to spay her after this litter? Continual breeding is really hard on mom!

Poor Burrito! Can you get him neutered and let him back in the house? How old is he? Do you feed him every day?

I can locate a low-cost clinic in your area if you tell me your city and state.

Mom is very lovely looking!

I feed him and water him all the time. I give him tons of love. He is almost a year old. My sister brings him in to play everyonce in a while. We are planning on spaying her when my mom gets the money. I think he enjoys being outside. He is always chasing birds and stuff.:wavey:

I'm glad you are feeding and loving Burrito, but he needs to be neutered. If not, he will eventually start tom catting around, and he can get injured or even disappear.

I can locate a low-cost clinic for neutering him if you'd like.

That's great! When is the appointment? Is there a room inside you can keep him until the appointment? Cats have a way of disappearing before important appointments!!

Moo is acting really strange! She will jump on my bed then lay down then she will jump off and lay on the ground. When she comes up on the bed she lays by me and occasionally lick her admomen and legs. Her kittens are really moving! She will also fill from laying on one side to the other all the time. Whenever I leave my room when I come back up she is waiting at the door for me XO. When I look at her or when I get up she won't stop meowing at me!! Any thoughts?;)
