Is My Cat Pregnant?

[Courtyeliza]

I think we are getting close she’s being extra clingy today. She can’t seem to get comfortable she’ll lay on her side then get up and walk around a little bit then try laying down again. She’s still eating but much less than before. I can’t feel the kitten moving as much so I think they may be moving down!

Gypsy is now laying in her nesting box!

And you didn't think she'd like it. She adores you, you know.

You might make her a couple more. Some get restless once the kits are born and like to move them from box to box. It'll also let you change the sheets.

She’s been moving around and laying seems to be a little more comfortable so we shall see! I’ll be sure to keep you updated! I actually did put another nesting box in so she does have two but thank you for the advice(:

[Courtyeliza]

Thank you so glad all is going well! I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated! Thanks to everyone for the advice! This was definitely a new experience for me!

Everyone is doing great we have two boys and two girls! They are now 5 days old and all weigh between 6 and 7 ounces! Gypsy is doing wonderful and is the best mom!

Just a little update gypsy is doing great and she’s a wonderful mom! The babies are 4 weeks old today and are all growing great! They all have homes once they are old enough! We had 3 boys Beau, Reuben and Milo and one girl Luna!

So cute! Will you be able to get the kittens fixed before they are rehomed? They should stay with mom until 10-12 weeks at least, but longer is better!

I'd actually say that 12 weeks is absolute minimum, but agree that the longer, the better. Courtyeliza otherwise the risk of behavioral issues like biting legs/feet is increased.
Delayed weaning reduces behavioural problems in cats
I'd also advocate for spaying/neutering before adoption, or at least signing a written contract with the future owner in which he/she commits to neutering/spaying.

Congratulations Courtyeliza! I'm a little confused, Has Gypsy had 2 boys and 2 girls (post N°32) or 3 boys and 1 girl (post N°33)?

Also, I understand Zamm also has a queen, named Luna, who also had 4 kittens? Is that right?

Gypsy had 3 males and one female. I originally thought 2 males and 2 females but was wrong.

They will not be fixed before going to their homes but my mother is taking beau, my husbands aunt is taking Reuben and Luna and Milo will be going home with a friend of mine. All of which are very responsible pet owners who will be having them spayed and neutered.
