Hi everybody! My girl, Penelope, is at day 64 of her 1st and probably only litter. I am 100% sure of the date, she was only bred once and it was a planned breeding. I am so nervous and mostly just need some reassurance. I work at a vet and the veterinarian is taking one of the kittens so this is probably one of the most vet monitored pregnancies ever. She has been physically examined and palpated, she's had multiple ultrasounds and has been x-rayed. She has been pretty constipated so we can't get much of a view of the kittens, all we can tell for sure is that there's definitely one live kitten, we don't know if there's more but her belly stayed pretty small and she's a petite cat so I can't imagine many more kittens could be in there. She's really fluffy but you definitely wouldn't know she was pregnant just by looking at her. So day 64 of a very small litter, is that normal? She is a Himalayan but she's a doll face so she doesn't have that smushed in face. She's otherwise very healthy and extremely attached to me. Since I work at a vet I feel like I should be more prepared but this cat is like my child (I do actually have a human child as well) and I'm so nervous. Do 1st litters tend to come earlier or later or it the same for a more experienced cat? I have her separated from the other 2 cats and the dog, she's pretty happy being on her own in my bedroom, she seems to prefer it. I have set up multiple nesting boxes and she seems really happy and relaxed. Does anyone have any advice or stories that can help me relax?
