A little background first:
My husband was given a pregnant cat. At one of the jobs he was working at he overheard the people talking about dumping this cat because she is pregnant.
The cat Saffy, is 2 years old, has never had a litter before and is the sweetest thing you would ever want to meet. Afraid that they would dump her, my husband asked if he could have her and they said yes. The people said that it would be her first litter and she had been living outside for the past 3 months, so no idea when she got pregnant.
When my husband brought her home, her belly was a little rounded and her nipples were showing and pink. That was 5 almost 6 weeks ago. For the last week, I have been able to see the kittens rolling around in her belly from across the room. We have put her in an interior room of the house all set up with everything she needs. We will be keeping her and one of the kittens and getting them "fixed" as soon as it is healthy. (We are also planning on spaying/nuetering all the other kittens before giving them to new owners also.)
I suppose my question is, does anyone have any guesstimates of how much longer we have? I am a stay at home mom, but I want to make sure I am right here when she delivers in case of any problems. We already love her so much, it would break my heart for anything to happen to her.
Thank you all so much! And what a great site!
