Hello,
Me and my partner recently rehomed 2 cats, a mother who we were told was 4 or 5 and a son who they think was about 2. The son has been neutered, but they said that she hadn't been done. So, I took them to the vet to be checked and to see if they had microchips, which they didn't! So I got them both chipped. I also booked the mum into be fixed (they weren't doing it at the time because they were only doing emergencies because of covid). So, we never let them out. We wanted to wait until she was done. Then she started getting fat!
So now, we have had them for 63 days exactly - she looks like she has swallowed a bowling ball and still no sign of kittens. I have read everything possible and guess the case must be that she got pregnant literally before we got them. The people we got them from seem a bit careless.
I'm just wondering at what point I should be worried? She seems happy but uncomfortable with how big she is! Still eating, but only wants meat and even then - just licks the jelly off for the most part! She has lots of nests around and occasionally looks at them. But never goes in them. Although the son thinks they are great! She is still fairly playful too!
Any advice would be appreciated, I've found this site fab! Thanks.
