Approximate delivery day for this mama kitty?

It must feel good. She's probably in some pain. Maybe it will help to move things along anyway.

Okay, this might be a dumb question but polka LOVES catnip. She has a bowl of it that she dumps and rolls in throughout the day. Can catnip get her stoned and stop labor?

This is why I ask. She really adores her catnip. She sleeps like this.

 

[Sarthur2]

I have no clue! That's an interesting question. I have always had to ration cat nip because my cats in the past have gotten kind of hyper and crazy on the stuff and start salivating - some more so than others.

I guess if you take it away she'll have to concentrate on her situation more.

 

[handsome kitty]

Hey, she got her tongue back in her mouth.

 

[sweetlynn86]

I think I'm going to try removing it. She might be pretty upset but we'll see what happens. She doesn't get hyper. She sticks her paw in, rolls around a minute and goes to sleep. I'm off to try and sleep so we shall see how she handles having her catnip taken away.

 

[Sarthur2]

All bets are off at midnight!

 

[sweetlynn86]

Yaaaay! We all lost! Lol. Polka is giving me the stink eye for curtailing her catnip endeavors.

 

[handsome kitty]

Now the betting can start all over again.

Poor Polka, losing her sleep aid.

 

[Sarthur2]

Any news?

 

[sweetlynn86]

No news yet. She was up pooping most of the night. My house smells like a port a potty now.

 

[handsome kitty]

I love your imagery.  Sounds like today might actually be the day!  Her body is preparing to give birth.

 

[Sarthur2]

Whew! Cats will frequently have diarrhea before giving birth to clean their systems out.

 

[sweetlynn86]

She was definitely all flushed out but now she's replenishing her bowels with a few bowls of kitten chow. She is staring longingly at her catnip now. She may need to go to rehab.

 

[Sarthur2]

Eh, give her back her 'nip. Probably harmless anyway. Poor Polka.

 

[Sarthur2]

Good news! WebMD says catnip is not only perfectly safe, but it is non-addictive, so Polka can nip to her heart's content. It says it makes some cats blissful and others playful. Thought you'd appreciate knowing.

 

[sweetlynn86]

Lol! I had already given in to her. She was pawing at the lid trying to open her jar, so I let her have it. I've never known a cat to enjoy it quite as much as she does.

 

[Sarthur2]

She's got a good thing going and she's also got you trained - lol.

 

[sweetlynn86]

Yea. She might be spoiled but just a smidgen.

Any progress on the labor situation? Or is everything just cruising for now? Just checking!
