I meant going forward with these two gaining weight and growing properly. Yes, you went through quite a lot.

I know, onwards and upwards for these two :) meg booked in for 8 weeks time to be spayed, and their first injections :) meg also having the injections as she was found as a very young stray so we dont know if she ever had them. Better to start again to be sure :) xx

Absolutely! And she probably had no vaccines whatsoever anyway, as you said.

She will have to go soon! In the meantime, add several drops of olive or vegetable oil to her wet food. This will help. She probably cleaned herself out well before giving birth.

Mittens is likely a boy, but not necessarily. You'll be able to tell in a few weeks. Either way, the more weight gain the better for both at this stage! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Can cats become incontinent? Meg just climbed up on the bed for a quick cuddle and left a trail of urine behind her :/ she didnt seem to know she was doing it. She has been using her litterbox aswell though. Now changing all the bedding after getting comfy [emoji]128549[/emoji] Xx

She's probably leaking because her muscles are loose right now. They'll tighten back up. Also, she may have had a full bladder. I doubt it will continue to happen on a regular basis.
