winter's temp.

no labor yet. I just got home from the vet and they ran several test and did and x-ray and they told me she will be having at least six possible kittens maybe 7 or 8 kittens. he said she should be having them with in 7 days and if not I am not to let her go more than 10 days. they will induce after 10 days. She is doing a little better today. she is umcomfortable but it is almost over. she must have got out and no one told me. I also asked about her nesting for almost two weeks now and he said some cats nest the whole time. I was aked if I wanted to terminate the pregnancy by getting her spayed and I opted not to do that as I am not comfortable with this. I will be getting this done after she has weaned her babies. possibly our other cat smokey might be pregnant and she will be getting spayed after she has weaned her kitttens also. I only have suspisions of her right now. I hope this answers everyones questions.

If you are correct about the gestation time frame, I can't think of any reason the vet won't do a c-section now. I would find another vet immediately. An x-ray can't show the viability of the babies.

I am going to give her a few more days as she still seems alright. I live in a small town and not a lot of vets in the area.

I hope she goes into labor soon. Good Luck with her.

Did the babies look ok. Is she ok and more relaxed now.

she seems to be doing alright. the vet believes she at least 60 days along.

he said give her a few so she is on track now

It's been a few days now, I was wondering how Winter is doing?

she is doing allright. she is pretty uncomfortable right now. she is in her nesting place unless she comes out to eat and gets pet a little and she then goes right back to her nesting area. She comes out about three times a day. I feel that she will have them towards the end of the week or this coming weekend. I think if she has not had any babies by tuesday I will take her rectal temp. so I can see if there has been any change in that. When she was at the vet last thursday it was 99.1 and that about where it has been for the last week. The vet feel that she should be having them by thursday. I think we all know how acurate the vets are. LOL I will keep you all updated as changes happen. Feel free to ask any question you may have.

I hope she is doing well and gives birth soon

Any news to share?

I think she is sleeping because she has been exhausted waiting for winter to poop. I know I am and I am not her mom LOL.....

I really wish I did had news to share but nothing yet. I am hoping the vet wa right about the time frame of when to expect babies. she is very uncomfortable she rolls around on the floor and when she is not doing that she is in hiding sleeping. I am thinking this week and so does the vet but who knows when. all she does is eat asks to be pet rolls around on the floor for a couple of minutes and then back to hiding in her nesting areas. I think I will try to check and see if she has any milk in today if she will let me. She does not like anyone coming close to her belly. It is so funny watching her. she always been a cat that does not come around very much and if she does she will let you pet her about 5 times and then she runs off. My friend came over this weekend as she awaiting the babies arival. she was laying on the floor watching a movie with my girls and winter would not leave her alone she kept rubbing on her until she pet her and she ended up petting her for about a 30 minutes before winter went back to her nesting area.

yes I am very tired but not sleeping. I have been sick lately and have come off the depo birth control after 2 1/2 years and it is taking a toll on my body and I have two very active children. I was relaxing on the couch.

It is ok. I hope things are ok. Fingers are crossed for smokey.

I am hoping today is the day. she has not come out from hiding. She has been hiding since last night. I don't want to bother her if she is in labor as she is a very private when she has her kittens. unfortuntely I think she is under my bed. she was acting very strange yesterday. she was running all around and even attacked the entry door. there was nothing there. my husband was changing our daughters diaper and she ran up to her really fast like she was gonna pounce on her and turned really fast and ran away. it was really funny to watch. I have been listening to see if I can hear baby kittens and i have not yet. thought maybe I could entice her out with some kmr though. to hopefully get her somewhere else in the house. like her nesting area in the spare room.

I think now you just need to sit and wait. After 2 weeks she is obviously not going to listen and stay in the better spot. Might just have to let her be and et nature take over , but in the end I think things will go ok

i hope so. i guess I never blocked off under my bed as she had been taking a liking to that area i had set up for her in the spare room, and had been in it for the last two weeks. so I guess once again she keeps me guessing.

Skittles is also under my Bed. When she comes out am going to take the wheels off makes it to small for her to get under. If that dont work I will take the fram off till the kittens are 12 weeks old. Wont bother me am short

i read that some people put cardboard there to block it off.
