I just had gotten a kitten 2 wks ago, who is now 10 wks old. I've always had a stray come to the back porch for as long as I can remember. I feed her when I see her, but she seems to belong to someone. Who is the question, and I have tried everything to find out who the owner is, with no luck....
Anyways, today it was cold outside, so I let her in for a while, and instantly, her and my kitten became inseperable. Within a half hour of her being in my house, the kitten was latched on to her nipple. And I let it continue only out of amazement. But the kitten stayed on there for quiet a while like he was getting something, although everytime I came near and tried to break it up, they both werent very happy.
So my question is...She is noticable rounder, which I am almost 95% positive she is pregnant. And with the kitten latching onto her like that I just wondered, does this mean she is due SOON. Or not necessarily????
If she is due over the weekend, I would feel better keeping her here, incase of an emergency etc, and I dont want her to have the kittens outside in the cold.
Does anyone know if actual lactation means like today?? or could it still be weeks away?
