Re-Homing Most Of My Babies

[crazy-cat-lover]

I have to re-home most of my kitties! I just found out that I am 5 1/2 months pregnant. Having 10 cats, and a new baby isn't good! I am so devastated, I feel like it is all my fault that they have to go! Here's who I need to re-home, and who I'm keeping.

Twinkles - She has been with my family for 10 years. She is going to stay with us.

Peppurr - He has been with us for 2 years, he is also staying.

Majesty - She has lived here as an outdoor cat for a year. She is staying.

Zues - He has been here for 8 weeks, I am going to keep him because he is Rascal and Mimi's baby. That way, I'll have a part of both of them when they leave.

Chaos - He has been here for 8 weeks and is also staying.

Mimi - She has been with us for 1 1/2 years. She does'nt like living with 9 other cats, so we're going to find her a really good home.

Hercules - He has been with us for 10 months. He is going to live with a close friend.

Vader - He might stay. He has lived here for 1 1/2 years, and he is my brothers cat.

Rascal - He will be going to an adoption center soon.

Isis - She is 8 weeks old and is going to a new home next Monday.

Felix, Xena, Mischief and Hercules are ALL going to live with a friend of mine! I am so happy that most of my cats will live so close to me. I am going to miss my babies so much, but I have a much bigger responsibility on the way. Please don't be mad at me. I love my cats with ALL my heart. This is going to be so hard.

Oh Tasha, good news and bad news all at once! I am so glad you are able to keep some of your babies and most of the others will be nearby. I think I can safely speak for everyone here when I say that there's no way we'd be mad at you! We know how much you love your babies and I think you've done exactly the right thing.

How are you feeling? Did you have any symtoms that you were pregnant? Have you been TTC?

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

Don't beat yourself up on having to do this...Your kitties will still be close to you, but having a human baby of your own is even more enjoyable! Congrats to you and your new addition!!!!

I missed my cycles, but other than that, I had NO symptoms. I am only 18 and I have'nt been TTC. I went to the doctor thinking I had a cyst, but to my surprise, there was a babies heartbeat. It was exciting and scary at the same time. My family is very supportive. I had the option of giving the baby up for adoption or keeping it, I decided to keep it.

My waist was 23" before, now it's only 26"! My belly does'nt show! My mom did'nt show during her pregnancies either. I am feeling great now that everyone in my family knows. My mom and dad are excited, so am I! It is due on September 25th, the day after my moms birthday. I am going in for my US today, so I am going to find out the babies gender.

I have a name picked out if it's a girl. I am going to name her Cassidy Iris. I need help on boys names! If you have any suggestions PLEASE post them! I want a unique name. His middle name will be Scott, the same as my dads and little brothers!

 

[princess purr]

that is kinda cool that you don't have to wait long to meet the baby! I can't wait to see pics. Good luck with your ultra sound!

 

[crazy-cat-lover]

I am leaving for my Ultra Sound! I hope the baby is alright, I was doing lot's of heavy lifting and working out. I'll let you guys know when I get home!

 

[sockiesmom]

Congrats! Sorry about your kitties, but it sounds like they are going to really good homes.

 

[princess purr]

can't wait to find out what you are having!!!

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

I hope everything went ok with your US......Let us know!

 

[crazy-cat-lover]

The baby was so shy they could'nt tell the gender. It was curled up into a little ball!

 

[princess purr]

awwww! i can't beleave you are preggers. that is just amazing!

 

[rock&fluff'smom]

Oh man! well, it will be very exciting at the end when you see her/him for the first time...My middle daughter Amber was shy and we didn't know what she was until she came out..I was so certain she was a boy and my doctor's first words were when she first came out was "Your son is now a girl!" It was funny!! I am very happy for you!!!

Congrats on being pregnant! I'm sorry you have to give up your kitties, but a baby really is a lot of work, and your kitties will probably get more attention this way, since you'll be so busy once the baby is born!

All I can say is lucky you that you didn't even know you were pregnant yet! My mom had awful pregnancies, and I'm afraid I will, too, when I get pregnant.

Tasha, it's sad some of your cats have to be rehomed, but I think you are making the right decision. Since the rehomed cats will be living nearby, maybe you will still be able to see them occasionally.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!!!

I think some women have a uterus that is positioned farther back (or something) and so they really don't show much when they are pregnant. You can ask your doctor about this.

Picking a boy's name: When my brother was born he was given the first name of each of his grandfathers since the names fit together well. Or maybe there is a male relative or ancestor in your family whose name you like.

Cons, on the baby!! How about Hunter Scott ?

I'm the same way...lots of girl names that I love, but not many boy names. Here are a few that I love (even though they aren't all unique or exotic):
Logan
Elijah (my fave!)
Cameron
Riley
Noah
Blake
Jayden (love this one too since it can be used for either sex)

 

[crazy-cat-lover]

Great names! Thanks for understanding! It makes me so much happier to have all these great friends!

 

[jenng]

Just wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy Tasha.

I hope the rest of your term goes as easily as the first half!

 

[adymarie]

If I ever have a boy I will probably name him Andrew Kenneth (hubby and dad's middle names).

I also like Gabriel
Aaron
Adam
Geraint
Philip


Hubby likes Angus.
