Good Morning.
So im Sammiie & my 17 month old Midnight is currently pregnant.
We took her to be spayed but she couldn't get booked in til the week later. My sister had her whilst we went away for a family emergency, and upon returning she had bought a male cat. As you can imagine, the inevitable happened and she ended up pregnant but to us it was unknown. We took her to be spayed and the nurse said she couldn't take her in because she was too far pregnant. They never indicated how far, nor did they check over Mum to be.
So upon returning home two weeks ago we worked out the dates and roughly she should be due in the next two days. Obviously we don't know how many kitties are in there as we can't tell and I don't want to prod around too much but they are wriggling around and kicking and playing games. She hasn't nested as I'm a little worried she's finding my sofa footstool rather comfy. I have managed to entice her into the hallway to a box where she used to lay on the floor by the front door. She seems to be using it and today she's been in there a lot.
I wanted to introduce me and Midnight and say hey! I do also have the following questions being my first time with a pregnancy in an animal.
• when will she start to milk? She has tiny white dots at the moment not sure if it's milk.
• how long after kittens are born can we touch them?
• if in a property with no garden or green area and a kitten is stillborn what should I do?
• if a kitten isn't lactating or is rejected but still alive how do we hand rear?
These are just some of the questions I have as no vet will help they said only time they get involved is if mum is in distress after struggling to push. As kittens are not priority only Mum is. Also her temperature has been at 37.3 the past three days. When would we be expecting labour?
Lovely to meet you all! Hope to hear from you all soon xx
