Hey all!
My cat Kitt is almost 1 and due to have her first litter any day now, I've read and read about pregancies in cats and I have a room set aside for her with a birthing box and plenty of blankets and peace and quiet should she want it, theres also a litter tray and her food bowls in there.
Now shes absolutely huge, her nipples are very large and she's finding it difficult to lick herself shes that big! I also felt the kittens move around today, does that mean they're not ready yet?
Anyway, back to her room, she will stay in there for a time and eat and do her business but then she wants to get out to where Dad is (Spike, my other cat) and seems to prefer hanging around wherever I am (I work from home and she spends a lot of time in my office on the spare bed). She also seems to like sleeping on my bed when she can get there and also likes to hang around with Spike and my dog Logan, Logan is extremely gentle considering he's only 6 months old, and I have no problem with him sittin near the cats, in fact Spike and Logan are best buds, always chasing each other around!
So back to Kitt, I'm confused by her behaviour, shes trying to get into cupboards but has been doing that for a while now, I can't believe how big she actually is, she must be due to have them soon, I just fed her and she scoffed the lot... I have no idea... Heeeelp!
Also, can someone tell me about cats as partners, the 2 of them are always close, Spike is the father (we hope) and whenever she is shut in her room he goes and lays by the door and waits for her to be let out. They follow each other everywhere and often Spike will go up to Kitt and start to wash her ears or her nose, very cute but I thought cats weren't like that.....
Anyway, I'll post some pix of my guys and the kitties when they get here.... Can anyone help me?
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
