Hello all, I am so fortunate to have found this site, especially at this time. I have adopted a pregnant kitty and am trying to figure out her due date! She was a feral I had been feeding for a while, and turned up pregnant. I took her to the vet on March 15, and, after an x-ray, the vet seemed pretty sure that she would be due on March 25. I was thinking "more around April 1", but the vet said that was pretty much on the outside of the range.
So...here it is, almost April 6 and no kittens. She has been eating kitten food since before she got pregnant, and is negative for FIV. (In other words, sleek and healthy.) Also, not showing ANY sign of delivering soon. No milk can be expressed from her nipples. Oh, and I definitely feel babies moving in there!
All in all, if she's showing no signs of distress, babies are moving, she's eating (lots), what would the vet do if I took her in? She seems like a perfectly normal (pregnant) cat. And...she's even getting along quite well with the resident 2 cats, dog, kids and adults! Thanks for reading this long post - just trying to figure out where to go from here -
