LOL It is ok I just figured I would ask

Yes I am 14 hour differeance.

SKITTLE UPDATE
She is laying on the top of the couch with the AC beating on her. She will not go to sleep. She just goes potty and comes right back. SHe has had the poos I think. Weird thing is she smells of the litter which is a first. She is covering her droppings really well which she does but right now she is making sure it is super covered no clue why. Same cat litter we have always used and we change the whole thing daily. I go thru 60 lbs litter a month. SO I know I change it enought.

awww the baby owl is sooo precious.
its like a little "FEED ME" machine!

I read that sometimes first time Momma cats have their first kitten in the litterbox. Maybe this is a sign that she will have them?
Good luck with the chick. My dd kept baby birds alive, so it is possible.

I think I will go sift the box just in case. I doubt she would do that but with her you never know

No, I don't think she will have a kitten in the litterbox and bury it!! But if she is pooing more, you might be surprised by her popping out baby #1 in the litterbox! Good thing you keep it clean!

I think her pooing is a good sign...need to clear that out of the way to make room for the babies!

I think the bird is either a Robin or (shoot can't think of the name of it), but not an owl. My daughter found a bunch of them like that last year. And a couple years ago she found an older Robin that she raised for just over a week till we could get it to a rescue person. And not quite a fledgling yet since all the feathers aren't in. Oh or a sparrow..............

Make sure to find out from mom what kind it is. my bet is on Robin.



sounds like Skittles is emptying herself out....... have heard that can happen too.............

Jada pooped a LOT just 12 hours before having her kittens. It wasn't diarrhea, just lose stools and very often. Could be a good sign that baby's are on the way!

I will not get my hopes up since she likes to knock them down. Also I did feel her teets and they are really full the last 4 the middle are soso the front nipples are nothing they are pink and are very visible and do have a little squish but the bottom ones are really full. I touch and she mad a sound like I hurt her I know they are sore. She was grooming all darn night. Her box was clean but was a lot of poop no runs.. I did take the box out and put the blanket and sheet down now to see if she will use it. She is still following me to the point I had to pee and she decided she was going to join me and she jumped in the tub to meow for having to get pee. She was sleeping and She is like glue to me..

Was Skittles always stuck to you like glue or is this a new behavior? Jada was always a very independant cat and then the last couple of days of her pregnancy she got really friendly and wanting my attention and then 24 hours before having the kittens she was hiding behind the bed, behind the couch..... in places she usually didn't hide. If you recall, I wrote up a little post when she was hiding from me or "nesting" and everytime I would find her she would meow at me (which was odd as she's a quiet cat) and get aggrivated and find somewhere else to hide. Is Skittle showing any of these characteristics yet?

March 22 I tried to get her inside because I noticed her neck was dirty and there was a few cats all under my house with her... I got her inside the next day and she wanted back out but I said no.. SHe never liked me she was hubbies cat from 2 weeks old. She always growled at me and kissed him... Well a few days later March 24 and 25 She started to warm up to me. A few days after that she begin to let everyone pet her and brush her. She begin to sleep at the foot of my bed... But the last few days she has been like glue. She will follow me everywhere I go. Even in the kitchen in the morning.. SHe has to be right with me. Like now she is on the arm of the couch.... This is new...

Awww! I know you are loving that! I loved it when Jada got friendly for that few days.

How long before. The vet said big litters come early and she isnt early she is 60 days tommorrow acording to him If I go by the xray skeletons she is 58 days I hear they go 58- 62 days.. If I go by the last day outside she is 57 days so see it dont matter LOL She has to pop soon Doesnt she..

Lets just hope when she does pop it goes smoothly

I think it will time will tell fingers

need to go find Skittles she disappered. SHe was stuck like glue to me know she left...

c'mon Skittles you can do it!! We'll just set up a cheering section for skittles!
