Is this considered behavior??
My cat was checked by a vet yesterday. She is lactating, nesting, super lovey, won't leave my sight, and cleaning herself all the time. The vet however didn't feel any kittens. No xrays, or ultrasounds were done because she is a mobile vet. She can do them though, and also does surgeries. She has an agreement with a local vet, so she can use his building for certain proceedures. She felt MyRage's tummy about 3 or 4 times. She said she felt no babies. (I said that already, didn't I?)
Well, I checked her over last night, like usual, and it seemed like she might be trying to dialate. Her little (forgot the name of it again) thingy, seemed like it was more open than before. There wasn't any discharge. Is it common for cats who have a false pregnancy, to try to deliver? My vet said to call her if she does try.
I felt so bad for her when the vet was feeling her tummy. MyRage is a usually loving, friendly cat. While she was being felt, she tried everything to get away, she wiggled, pushed, pulled, clawed my shoulder, trying to get away from the vet. SHe never held still long enough for her to really get a good feel. She never hissed, scratched, or bit the vet though.
So another question, if anyone knows. What actually causes a false pregnancy? Do they actually get mated? She said it wasn't very common for false pregnancies because cats get pregnant so easy. Is there anything to do to promote her to stop thinking she's having babies? In my dream last night, she had three babies. A little tortie like herself, A little tabby like one of the males that were chasing her. And a little grey, like the other male that was chasing her. They were all so cute, and she was so proud of herself. Then the alarm went off and woke me up. So then, since the vet felt no babies, I am assuming that if she did actually deliver one, it would be too small to survive? I was so back and fourth on the matter, I am glad to finally have the vets opinion. I'm really happy that was the diagnosis, for her. I don't want to loose her. She's the sweetest.
she's still acting like she is going to have babies.
I feel so bad for her. Will she be sad when she doesn't?
Well thanks for reading. Even links to prior posts, or websites with info would be appreciated. I've been looking up the subject, but haven't had much luck.
