They said weight gain and her nipples... I am just not seeing that her nipples are very prominent but she has a VERY fluffy tummy. I also think her fluff is what is hiding the roundness of her belly too... when I touch her it feels round and its firm- the firmness could be a sign of pregnancy? I guess time will tell! She is a cutie, I was excited for kittens- but with the crazy kitten season we have had I will be happy with no kittens as well!

And going on the assumption that she is certainly won't hurt anything at all!

Franklin is doing great and acting like a normal kitten now.. The last two days I have worked a lot and my boyfriend has been doing the litter boxes so I haven't noticed if his poops are solid or anything like that... but it seems like he is constipated? I need to ask my boyfriend if he has noticed less poop in his box. Franklin has a pretty big pot belly on him now, I am wondering if that's from not pooping? I am afraid to add a bit of oil to his food from all of the poop problems that we have had. But I think that all of the medicines could constipate him? Am I right? Oh who knows... I am also wondering when it would be safe to have him be with his siblings again! I hate keeping them apart!

I think you can and should put Franklin back with his litter mates now.

Oh, I think because of some of her coloring, & such a sweet, pretty girl, I'd name her Honey. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

How about just a tiny bit of pure pumpkin for Franklin?

Ok guys, meet Hazel (same potentially pregnant mom- she just now has a name) ! She is so pretty! The fur near and on her tail isn't as fluffy and full as the rest of her, I am treating ehr for fleas so I am hoping it is just that!

Also I let Franklin out with his sibling yesterday- they are doing great! Andy is still congested. Yesterday I packed up the four black babies (Franklin, Felix, Flynn, and Francesca) and we went to a club meeting at WVU to talk about our rescue and some of our fosters and previous fosters. Everyone loved the kittens obviously  an they are going to do fundraisers for us in January! I am excited to get some word out about our little rescue!

She hasn't yet, we haven't been back to the vet with her yet. We are trying the lysine for now, she seems a little better. If she stays the same we will take her in, our resources are just currently a little low because of Franklin :/

I love her ear hair! She doesn't want to do a whole lot, which makes me think pregnant as well. She lays on the bed all day. I actually had to move her food to the bed because I noticed she wasn't eating much and when I moved it up there she ate a bunch. I moved her litter box up there as well- she peed on the bed but I am not sure she is litter trained yet.

Has she been to a vet at all? I wonder if she is well.

She hasn't yet. We only got her a few days ago, and as I stated a bit ago with Andy, I don't currently have extra to take them to the vet since I had to take Franklin to the emergency vet three times. She acts fine, she is so sweet she runs under my hand for me to pet her lol. She just isn't very active- which I thought was normal for pregnant cats? She could be older too, I don't really know! We definitely are keeping a close eye on her!

Well, you don't know if she's pregnant. It could be pyometria or another infection, etc. I do think she should go in. Would your vet not give you antibiotics for Andy? They saw franklin.
