Hi there. I'm new here but have been reading for a while now and decided to make a post as my heavily pregnant cat is confusing me. She will be 2 years old in January and is a standard english tabby we took her in after she befriended my 3 year old daughter in the back garden. She came around everyday to sit on the trampoline with her (she was either very lonely or was lost) we did take her to the vets but she wasn't chipped and said she was around 5 months old. instead of her going to a shelter we took her in. She never not once in the year we have had her had a season not that I know of anyway she has never called or meowed or gone frisky! She basically just hung around my daughter all day everyday. Now here comes the dilemma! On the 17th of May she began calling and rubbing allover everything in the house. I new she was in season so I kept her in the house with a litter tray and she was doing great! Loved every minute of being in and then on the 22nd I had to work a long shift so my partner had to pick up my daughter from school and basically she got out! He rang me in a panic and said she was going mental in the hallway and knocked over plants and lamps! He said he literally fought her and she clawed him and ran out the door before he could shut it, I will give him points for searching the street and the field at the bottom of our road but no luck. I came home around 7pm and called her and looked still no sign then I was putting some rubbish out and seen her in the road with a big ginger fluffy Tom on top of her! I ran over screaming and shouting and he ran off! I grabbed her and brought her back in! I couldn't believe it I was in shock from all the drama. After trying so hard to prevent it still happend and thought OK we have a large family and after telling a few they said they would have a kitten so after 2 weeks we had 4 homes lined up for these kittens and we would keep the rest if she had any more. At 5 weeks I thought hmm she isn't showing and her nips seem normal so I thought she maybe just missed the breeding and everything will be fine. Booked an appointment to get her spayed the week after and he refused. She was pregnant after all. So now we are exactly 9 weeks today since that crazy mating day and she is huge! Kittens are moving and can see them very clear. She had nesting behaviour yesterday evening but it didn't continue. Today she is just sleeping and mopin around. She is cuddled up to our frenchie as we speak. She isn't loosing any fluids and is scoffing food still. Her nips are pink but not purple or swollen and definitely not leaking milk. What is going on! Also her tail is cocked up at the base sorry for the massive ramble but I thought I'd share her story to you guys. She is the most loving cat I've ever seen. She absolutely dotes on my little girl and is amazing with other animals. We are blessed to own her. I have some pics of her but I can't upload them for some reason.
