Hello!!! I picked up a pregnant mama from our local shelter on Friday. They told me she is due in 2 weeks which would put her at Thanksgiving weekend. Are the estimates usually accurate?
she’s eating and I’m giving her lots of food. The girl can EAT! She eats like 5 cups of dry a day and I’ve been giving her fancy feast kitten and Royal Canin mama and babycat food.
she’s in our spare bedroom and keeps trying to open the closet and I don’t want her to get any ideas about giving birth in there LOL. I have 3 boxes with blankets set up and a cat bed and this morning she just started hiding in the boxes.
I’m not an expert. I have had plenty of nursing mama cats but this is my first pregnant mama and I’m not sure what to expect! She’s very affectionate and purrs constantly when I’m in the room but doesn’t like her belly touched. I can’t really feel kittens moving but I don’t know what to look for. I thought I felt movement once but I try not to touch her belly.
is there anything else I should be doing / feeding / etc? Can she have goat milk or is that not necessary?
I will keep you updated on her progress. Here’s some pics.
