Hi everyone! My cat, Eevee, is roughly 63 days pregnant (the beginning of her last heat cycle was June 11th). We have a male cat, Onix, and we assumed we still had a few weeks left before needing to spay/neuter them as he is younger than her, but here we are. Before getting into anything else, my most important question would be how soon after birth am I able to book her in to be spayed? And, will the kittens need to be transported with her? Vets are all still curbside due to lockdown restrictions. Onix will be neutered as well. They're fully indoor cats, and they will be separated during and after the birth until she's spayed.
So, now to the other things: I am getting very nervous and excited about the possibility of kittens coming! Eevee has been on royal canin kitten food since we found out, and has only eaten wet food (Wellness brand) since I got her. Nesting box set up, yesterday we started giving her small amounts of goat's milk at morning feed and night feed. She has been loving belly rubs. I have been able to feel kicks for 3 weeks and 2 days, and there have been no signs of impending labor. She still has a big appetite, no pacing, no panting, no discharge. I feel so impatient! I thought I'd share her progress here, and post a few photos of them. I'm curious to see any guesses for what their kittens will look like, and I'll share my own!
Since they're both colour point I know that the kittens will be too. However, Onix is such a strange cat. He has lynx-point markings, but I've never seen one as dark as him? Eevee is pedigree without papers, but Onix is not. He was a rescue at 4 weeks old (came with whiskers either cut off, or nibbled off by litter mates, hence why they're short in the photo, they only recently started growing back in). I'm going to guess they'll be 50/50 seal point solid and lynx-point?
