at the moment missy has access to most of the house but prefers my room which is ok until she starts crying to get out of the door ( we have french doors that lead on to a balcony) its the constant scratching that keeps us awake for the last week ive been up at around 4 am as i couldnt take any more as soon as i get up she is fine lol :-)

Well, I have felt the kittens move for about 1 1/2 weeks now. I didn't pick her up much before that, or hold her for long because she wanted to be left alone, so they may have been moving before I felt them...she is actually looking around the house this morning, totally ignoring the fact that we have a box all set up for her!
Since she is up and looking maybe it will be sometime soon....
...then again, maybe not....LOL!

i have made 2 boxes after reading so many words of advice i thought id give her the choice.we have a big box that is closed on top and has the side cut out, we have an open box with the side cut shorter and we have the bottom of a double closet all have bedding, food, water and litter trays and are in different areas of the house but she is just not intrested she likes the hard cold tiles at the moment
but then it has been really hot. we dont have a/c and she can get out of the windows etc so everything is closed up

I'm waiting too...But more along the lines of waiting for time to pass, or a good wait. I know when she is due and don't want any action until that date comes! Oooh last time was way to scary. At the same time I can't wait for next week to come!

It is hot here too though we have a swamp cooler...it is not working that great because of humidity. She lays on the tiles in the hall alot too, but has pretty much been on an old plastic chair or just stretched out in the middle of the floor.
When I really watched her this morning, there is quite alot going on in there! The kitties seem pretty active! Her belly was moving every which way!
She was grooming herself and actually couldn't reach far enough to lick her bottom. Her belly got in the way.

Well, if she is anything like Kitty, then there is no confining her
i dont confine Kitty in one room but i close doors to rooms that i dont want her to give birth in. during her last pregnancy i used to put her in a cage in my room at night and she would throw a fit, like if i walked near the cage to turn off my alarm, she would stick her arm out and claw the
out of me if she could reach me....


so if she will let you confine her, then i say do it but if she wont then just close off all acsess to rooms you dont want her in.

Unfortunately it hasn't gone so well for me. I adore bengals but breeding was a whole other issue. I might get back into it when I retire but... There are many aspects of breeding it turns out I don't like. I won't get into it on here. I need to find some other way to contribute to the bengal breed without breeding though. Not to mention the heartbreak... I lost a whole litter last time, all were born alive and to watch each one die was horrible. It was 8 days to early (day 55). So far we are on day 58 and doing very well. She is due on Wednesday.

my house is open plan with very few doors on the ground floor there is just the front and back door so the bedroom was my only other option. she was good last night and settled straight away but she woke me up at 5 crying so i got up with her. she had been sleeping in my room but she just wants constant cuddles lol and will cry until you pet her i think perhaps we over did the affection if thats at all possible but you just want to give them love and attention, although weve had her for only a month she was a regular visitor at nights we sleep with our balcony door open when its hot and she just walked in and jumped on my bed curled up and went to sleep. the nights our door was closed she would scratch and cry to get in. she never had a coller so i put one on with a note for her owner to let them know what she was doing at night, but the next night she was back no collar again and she never went home again after that.
sorry i waffle on:-)
should i put her in the room during the day or just at night

i would be putting her in the room you want her to give birth in 24/7. she may not like it, but at least she wont be able to give birth in a dangerous place. i confined Icis to my large bathroom. she wasent happy, but didnt cause a problem either. now that she gave birth in there, she loves it,lol

My Missy is not happy about being confined to one room but she doesn't try to get out when I go in anymore. I had her out last night for a few minutes and managed to get a few pictures of her belly
she is so swollen. I got up this morning to check on her and the room stinks,she has loose BMs again. Could it be that I have added some kitten food to her other food(mixed it all up)? I tried a different brand then she has had before. Maybe I should go get the other kind. Or should I wait till after delivery???

For all our AND our cats sakes, I hope this is the weekend!
Mine was in my room awhile ago, in/under a sleeping bag on the floor. She was cratching at it so I assume that she is looking for someplace to have them. She hasn't gone into the box I set up for her. She is closed out of all the rooms except the living room at this point. I had planned on her having the empty bedroom to herself but her timing is way off and the bedroom is not empty anymore!
I have read about shredded newspaper in pillow cases--maybe she might like that in her box, but how do you close the end of the pillowcase so it doesn't fall out?
