I wanted to introduce myself and my mama cat. I'm Whit and this beautiful little girl:
is Coco!
I also have 3 male cats who stay outside, Ninja, Wally, and Paul.
I assume that Coco is a tortoise shell calico, but I don't know all of the terms for their coloring and patterns.
Anyways, CoCo is all set to make me a fur-granny as she mated with one of our male cats when she was outside. She is now an indoor cat. I'm almost as nervous for her as I was when I was pregnant with my own babe! This is her first pregnancy and my first to witness day in and day out. I've done a good bit of research on what to do to help her with her pregnancy and delivery, but I find there aren't very many resources available. I've done what my research has suggested, making birthing boxes available to her, even going so far as to sew her a nice little pillow. She's not having any of it. She doesn't like the boxes. She just wants to stick with me all day or lay in my bed. I'm afraid that's where she'll decide to have her kittens. Thank Heavens we have a mattress protector as everything else can be washed. We're looking at a delivery date of around or on the 20th of this month, based on a due date calculator I found online. Someone please offer me some comfort, support, words of wisdom, or advice on how to make her first delivery as smooth as possible without worrying myself or her to death!
