Place your bets...how many kittens is she carrying?

What a beauty! I'll say 4

Four days and counting til Lola's estimated due date and the poor girl just keeps getting bigger. I've included another two photos that I JUST took in case anyone would like to modify their guesses. I was feeling pretty confident in my 4 kitten guess but as the days go by I start wondering if I'm lowballing it. Only time will tell!




It seems the photos aren't really able to capture her truth girth and for some reason she looks incredibly angry every time I take a picture but at least it allows everyone to make a slightly more educated guess

I'm sticking with 4..She does look annoyed doesn't she?

My sister is due to have her 3rd baby any day now and she gets the same look on her face when we take a picture of her!

i am guessing four also

I would say she is having 4 aswell, Elsa was about the same size or maybe bigger and she had 4 last year. This is her.

I'm going to say two or three. I don't have any experience with pregnant cats but she is so tiny I never would have thought her pregnant.

I think she has 4

Now I'm starting to doubt whether she's even going to have four, but I'm sticking with my guess.. Keep us posted!

Well tomorrow is Lola's estimated due date (not really a precise thing, more of a wild guess) so I'm sharing another two photos of her making the most of one of the scratching posts. I have yet to see any signs of labor and after enduring this process with Charity I've learned to become much more patient. It will happen, when it happens. Until then, here are some updates:

I'm gonna go with four as well. My cousin's cat didn't get very big either and she had four.

I vote for 3

Well...
Lola is almost a week past her anticipated due date and the kittens have yet to appear. I've been impatiently looking for any sign of labor and I've found none. She hangs out in the nursery all day napping, eating, cleaning and wondering why I keep walking up and staring at her. To burn time while I'm waiting for the babies to be born I've tallied up everyone's votes and put it into chart form for easy viewing. If anyone else would like to take a guess I'd be more than happy to add that to my excel file. The offer stands as well for anyone that wants to change their vote. The longer she grows the higher I think I should make my guess



Heidi

I guess 6.. bellies are decieving.. PLEASE HAVE PICS!! I love little kitties!!

I am going to say 5

Good luck with the birth!! our thoughts are with you

She's waiting to have them tomorrow on Earth day, which is also the birthday of my babies!

I'd say 4 maybe? Although I'm no pro!! That's for sure. I think I'll scan some pics of Softie from a few days ago and post them on here as well. I wonder how many you think she'll have? She's MUCH bigger that Lola!! And I can feel 3 if I gently feel her belly. But that's just the side ones...

I really hope you're right! hehe I can't tolerate this waiting much longer It's like Christmas Eve...the presents are all under the tree, and I can shake the boxes but I can't tell what's inside. Lucky for Lola I am unable to recreate the December in which I unwrapped all of my presents, checked them out, rewrapped them, and returned them to their original location. That Christmas morning was probably the most miserable and disappointing holiday I've ever experienced.

Oh what sweet anticipation!

Here are two updated photos of my girl taken today (4/21/04)

I'm still sticking with my original vote of 6-8....

Spotz
