My cat is pregnant and I'm new to this

[Sarthur2]

Nice report - it's great you are already finding homes. Please do not let them go before 8-10 weeks.

Are the kittens all black

 

[catluvr101]

yes, all the kittens are black and we won't give any of them away before their 8th week. I used to have cat that we got last fall and they said she was 10 weeks. She was so small and sick, we thought she would die. Turns out she was 4 weeks... She survived, but went missing a little over a month ago.

I hope your missing kitty returns. Was she spayed yet?

 

[catluvr101]

Yeah... We tried to get her spayed twice and plans got in the way. I think she ran away b/c she was in heat. We haven't found any clues and my mom think she's a goner. We've put up flyers a few days after she went missing. Our neighbor Cat lovers have helped us look, but no luck.

 

[Sarthur2]

That is my thought. She was in heat and is now pregnant. She may be lost, or someone may have taken her in.

 

[catluvr101]

Yeah, no clue sadly. Ive went on walks asked many people, looked on Craigslist. I'm still crossing my fingers though.

So kittens are doing great today. And actually I've started to notice stripes on few of them( I still have no clue who daddy kitty is) hopefully I can put pics on here soon of them. Happy Monday!

It's fun to watch their markings and colors develop. Glad all is going well.

Okay so this is going to be a long story(you have been warned) so today we got our younger kitten spayed today and figure out he was a she, and when we got her spayed, we found one of her litter mates! Both kittens are orange and white, polydactyls. We thought the surgery would calm her but she's been crazier then ever.

So after that, on the way home, me and my family were talking about who the father of the kittens could be, still no clue then. All the kittens are black and our other female cat (we were told it was a female)ran away almost 2 months ago, she was all black.

She was 10 months old and never went into heat and was very curious. We dismissed this. All of a sudden a flip switched and we realized our runaway girl kitty was a "he"

We've been trying to figure out the father of the kittens and it was right under our noses! (Face palm) haha. [emoji]128517[/emoji]

Mystery solved! Is the cat still missing?

 

[catluvr101]

yeah. It's been almost two months. We're hoping to keep one of the kittens to remember him by. Haha, not sure that makes sense

 

[lilbritxtimp1]

I was hoping my mom in laws cat was pregnant bc she s the baby of my cat who passed away last month and that would of been her grandbaby.

 

[catluvr101]

Aww, I hope she has kittens! It feels so bad to lose a pet. From death or just gone missing. But the worst is when thier stolen.

 

[catluvr101]

Kittens are doing great! I haven't been on in so LONG cause I've been pretty busy. This summer is going to fast! We've found holes for ALL the kittens and we plan on keeping one. My mothers friend(the one who had her cat run over) is taking two and my brothers friend. So glad we found homes because there are free ones on Craigslist ALL the time.

 

[Sarthur2]

That's good news!
