Kittens are moving!

Im so excited! I can finally feel the kittens moving and even see them alittle (she has long hair so it's harder to see movement.) I can't wait too much longer. I'm not exactly sure when she mated, but i'm pretty sure she should have them by 4/4/06. I have every thing ready, her nesting box, which she loves to sleep in but who knows if she will have them in it though I have krm, scales, well I have a lot of stuff prepared, I wont list it all!

So... If I can feel the kittens moving am I pretty acurate as to the date being april 4th? I have felt them for a couple days or so, and she is starting to "bag up" with milk i haven't seen any leaking or any thing. she is so big I have to clean her, she hasn't really beenable to herself lately.

Do you have some pictures of her ??

Meeka is due April 7th. I've been able to feel/see kittens moving for about a week now (probably easier with shorthairs). The other night she came in at 4am wanting attention and she laid down on me. Wouldn't you know the kittens (or maybe just one!) was kicking like crazy!! I couldn't sleep it was just so cool to feel a kicking kittne on my stomach. No wonder mama was up at 4am bugging me, she coudln't sleep either!!! That one is going to be a handful, I can tell already . Her milk also came in about a week ago.

So just a frame of reference .

That is so cool! I had my three year old come and feel it too. she kind of gets it, she knows babies are comming but has no concept of time really yet.
here are some pics of her, and the sire as well.

(sorry about the big pix, but I think I got the links figured out so the page wont take forever to upload)

Oooh they are adorable!!!!!! I love dads mask.

I chose him for his mask, of coarse his breeding and size was the biggest factor but I couldn't refuse that face! I think she may have longer to go then you do, so the 4th may not be right. When did she go to the breeder? (I remember your post that meeka went to breeders, but I can't remember now.)
She is within two weeks i'm pretty sure of that!

The first day of breeding was February 3rd which is the day I'm going by for her duedate. However she bred with him for about 5 days. We also ended up keeping the stud at our place for a couple months. When she went to the breeders it was unsuccessful as she stressed out and stopped eating and had to come home soon after. She might be harder to send out than bringing the boys to her (which is unusual from what I've heard).

I finally got the links so they all work and there is no big pix in the post to make the page load so slow!!!!!

I had my wisdom teeth removed on the feb, 7th. She came into heat around that time a week before or a week after or so, my first estimate I think was before then, but i'm pretty sure that it was acually after that, so I bet it will be at least a week after the 4th? I will never know untill it's time I guess, oh well.

I hope to get a new camera before the big day, I will appologize in advance, I will flood the forum with pictures, just so you know.

The pictures of Ice and Dante' are adorable. I can't wait to hear about delivery, and then of course the week long wait to see the colors and patterns!!
Keep the pictures coming!!

I am just about to disown the little tramp! I live with a house full of idiots that can't keep a door shut. I have just spent 1/2 an hour chaseing Icey, out side! Since she is always trying to get out and I have a couple males I have been trying to get her used to a cage so she can have kittens in that, but, I don't leave her in it all the time. while I was cleaning it she got out. She is pretty slow being a little fatty right now, but she will still out run me! I almost had her but the neighbors dog started barking at her and chasing her. I hate that dog, I have never seen a dumber dog in all my life! He chases my horses and has bitten me once and my daughter twice and they still wont tie the little puke up. Are all blue healers (austrialian cattle dogs) stupid, or did they just get blessed? Well I had to crawl under the shed through the mud, and dead animal carcasses. I almost lost her, she started to attack the dog, I was so scared she was going to get hurt (mind you she is due soon, a week mabey two) I just managed to grab her tail, I got her though, and a face full of mud. I'm all mud, and she is all mud, since I had to squirm out back wards draging her out too. She needs a bath, and I need a shower! First im going to dig out my out side cages and get them all out side for a while before I go crazy

Well, three of my cats are out side in nice little cages getting fresh air. Ice is all squeky clean! she has had a bath and I have had a shower and we are all calmed down now. She is still in her cage though, but being freshly bathed I was afraid to put her out side it is nice out but don't want her to get a chill. I hope that she goes to her delivery with no more issues, lol. She never tries to get out when her kittens are little, if she does I just meow like a kitten and she comes right back. She has got milk now, so hopefully she is close to having them?

I've always love feeling and watching kittens in the womb. (Farm cats.) But I've never wanted to feel human babies! Weird ol' me, huh...

I would've loved to have seen you chasing Icey!

It was quite a sight im sure!
I'm sure I've cofirmed the neighbors theory of me being a crazy cat lady
Crawling under sheds, draging a muddy cat home with mud on my face. Next time i,m leaving her, she can go have her babies under some ones porch like most cats! (no, i'm lying, I would never do that, last time I was out lying on a cold ground coaxing her out for over two hours.)
