KateyBate (66.227.233.47) -

We have a pregnant female cat, and I am wondering just when she is going to give birth? Are there any particular signs I can look for when she's getting ready? I'd kind of like to put her and the kittens in a safe place, even if it means caging the mom before she gives birth.

Comment #1 shabs (220.226.28.9) -

Katey, when my cat gives birth it start looking for corners and try to climb almiras and all. ANd they start meowing in a particular tone. But I think the signs may differ for diiferent cats, so keep an eye on your cat. And don't worry about keeping the cat in a safe place. They are smart creatures and can take care of themselves. And never cage a cat.

Comment #2 endora (24.45.126.104) -

The tummy also drops and hangs really low or my cat did. She also had a nice secure place picked out. I also noticed the day she was to give birth she was acting slightly different. She kind of was looking around lol. Hard to explain but you can sense something is going on when its time.

Comment #3 endora (24.45.126.104) -

Hey you still around? Did the cat have the babies yet? Id love to hear a follow up.

Comment #4 Courtney (1) from The South -

Our cats would usually try to go into a dark closet and then they start clawing the ground to get the area comfortable. Dogs do the same thing. Our cats started meowing and panting a lot too. Usually you will notice they will act out of the ordinary for a few days prior to giving birth as well.

Comment #5 tokay from tokay village -

When your cat starts going into seclusion that might be a clear sign. If she feels threatened she can stop the birthing process which can be dangerous to your cat's life as well as her kittens.

Comment #6 Odie from the dog house -

Seclusion is a good sign. Also if you see mucus coming out of the back area, that is a good sign that in about 2 to 4 hours your cat should be giving birth to kittens! If it is longer than that, I would call the vet.

Comment #7 snowy from Wisconsin -

KateyBate- did your cat have its kittens? If it did, I hope everything went well. I found a stray once that was already pregnant, it was just a kitten itself and was too small to give birth. The first one came out stillborn and the second is the one I have today. I took the her to the emergency vet and they had to terminate that others :(

i think my cats about to have her kittys but not quite sure, she keeps hiding in a dark cupboard under our stairs and wanders aimlessley around sometimes sitting right behind me if im busy in the kitchen.could you give me some advice please.

Comment #11 Leslie Spiers (74.14.101.193) -

I knew my Gloria was about to give birth, because she couldn't get comfortable, and she became overly affectionate. when I tried to take a bath, she keep meowing and coming to the tub and than going back and forth to my room, she even tried bitting my hand and pulling me out of the tub. I knew it wouldn't be long, and sure enough at 1 am in the morning she gave birth to two kittens. Both are perfectly healthy and doing fine. We named them Tupac and Little John. The whole family is doing great.

Comment #12 Danny Ross (24.222.109.68) -

what do i do when my cat gets ready to give birth and how do i know when this is going to happen (what kind of noises and what do they do when they are about to give birth?)

Comment #13 Animalluver from stanton, ca -

I also have cat who I believe is 4-5 weeks pregnant. I am not sure but I put up a picture of her on here. Her name is Ms. Mooie because she looks like a cow. She is gaining lots of weight and her nipples are swelling so big that you can see them through her fur. Is there any advice on what to do for her or signs of giving birth?

Comment #14 paula (75.132.211.115) -

There are obvious signs that my cat is going to have kittens. I am a little confused though..I do not know when she mated, so therefore I do not know when the kittens will be born. My question is--The hair has fallen out around her nipples but they are not filled to where it is noticeable. I can feel the kittens moving. Are her nipples supposed to be swollen or something?? She also makes a growling noise when we go near her but doesn't all the time. Her belly is huge but I am still concerned about the nipple aspect. Please help. thanks

Comment #15 Animalluver from stanton, ca -

IS she outdoor or indoor? From what my vet set, technically female cats are always in heat. Its just up to the male. My cat is pregnant but she loves to snuggle with us still, i think even more so now. She does hide most of the day though. I think a cat has a 6-8 week gestation period right?

Comment #16 loe (195.93.21.72) -

mine went by the boiler alot and started sleeping curled up ina ball , miowing alot , and looking tired , with a bulgie tummy , they sleep alot in the armest place , mostly in the living room .

Comment #17 Amburr (141.152.68.117) -

Some tips that I have acquired as to my cat giving birth last night are:

1)Have a spot picked out for them that they can get to. We took a box and placed a towel in it.

*Normally my cat would never get into a box or anything but when she got in it and we knew she was ready.

2)Meowing abnormally/Panting.

*My cat hardly ever meows so that was helpful.

3)Milk coming from nipples.

*We noticed this the night before she had them.

4)When they start giving birth they need quiet and don't need other animals around.

*We turned the tv off and shooed the dogs out of the room.

5)It's okay to be next to them while they are in labor.

*She stared and meowed at us while she was first having contractions(i guess?) and wanted us to pet her head so we did.

6)But pretty much animals have instinct so they'll be okay. =]

And I am pleased to say im a owner of 5 new kittens =p


Comment #18 samantha (4.234.132.45) -

I noticed when my cat was pregnt because her nipples started producing milk and her belly started to get big hard and round. And she would also start to sleep a lot in odd places like in the corner of the closit and living room.She would also start to eat alot and drink olot of milk

Comment #20 Animalluver from stanton, ca -

My cat is just now a year old and she got pregnant about six weeks ago. We had our male fixed probably a week after she got pregnant. The other Tuesday night I noticed she had a mucus hanging from her well you know what I am talking about and 4 hours later she was giving birth. The kittens were so small. I mean I had a friend of mine who is a vet assistant here and she said she never saw kittens so small. The first three delivered where alive. The last one came 1 hour after the first 3 who had come in about 20 minute intervals and it was still born. That was the hardest thing to deal with. so i thought. THen she rejected all of the kittens. wouldnt feed them clean them or anything. So i got newborn kitten formula fed them, and they all still died about 3-4 hours apart. My friend said they had come way to early. THen last night, she delivered yet another one stillborn. I feel so bad for her but my friend said she rejected them because she knew they werent going to make it. I so badly wanted them to live because I wanted my kids to be able to see them grow and now the whole family is sad because of what happened. So i hope this doesnt happen to anyone else.

Our cat seems to be having some signs of having her kittens. we think for sure theyre coming tonight. for one she's humongously huge in the belly. for #2 she's meowing like crazy. #3 she's being all lovey all the sudden. #4 she had a big ball of mucus/puss or whatever it was down there, i think you know what im talking about. we think she'll deliver around 1 o'clock a.m. b/c she started to have contractions around nine p.m. any advise? if so please e-mail us. thank you for your time and help.

sincerely,

tcegm


Comment #29 Sabryna (207.200.116.137) -

should i put my cat in a big box with some blankets so she

would be comfortable and not try to hide and have her kittens?

and how do i know when she feels threatened so i can back off i

wouldn't want her to stop the birthing process?


Comment #30 Casey (70.104.113.127) -

I am cat sitting (for a few months) a very sweet cat named Sunami and she is very very very pregnant. We've had her for about 2 weeks now and she is used to us and very friendly. Will the move to a new home cause any stress?? I have my own cats and they have had kittens before but never inside, so I'm really not sure what to look for. She has been overly affectionate today and meowing a little more than usual. Is that a good sign? I am on vacation from work right now and really hoping she will have them before I return on Wednesday!! Keep your fingures crossed for me! :)

Comment #31 Casey (70.104.113.127) -

I was right! Sunami delivered 5 kittens last night! She started having contractions while she was lying in bed with me and when the first kitten really started to come she sort of freaked out and was flopping all over the bed. I have scratches all over my hands where i was trying to calm her. But then she jumped off the bed and went to the closet where i had made a basket for her. I stayed up with her while she delivered the first three and then I went to bed because i thought she was done. Wrong! But we have 5 brand new beautiful, healthy babies! :)

Comment #32 MARY (64.122.45.82) -

My cat is pregnant. Her belly is hanging down and it feels like milk is in it...is that a sign she will have her kittens/ She also sleeps non stop and follows me every where always wanting to cuddle. also she pushes her paws in a motion like she is shapring them but i know she isn't...when is she gona have her kittens? any help at all?

Comment #34 Boom-kat from Ireland -

Hi everyone! I have a little female cat and the reason that im here is because i was just looking 4 some clues about how do i know when its the time.... and 4 whet ive read i dont think she's long to go.... She's almost a year, Jessie its her name, she's very loving, and she's even more loving now, she doesn't want to go out anymore, she stays home and sleeps most of the time, eats like mad, and meows a lot too.She has her box in the uttility room, i think she has enough room there... Its the first time that we have a pet in the house and the kids are just as anxious as i am i hope everything goes fine for my baby.

I'll let u know in a few days! Thanks. :p

Comment #37 Laura (67.177.163.177) -

Hello everyone. The questions and answers posted here have been very helpful.

I too have a cat who is very pregnant. This is the first time I have ever witnessed anything like this. I believe she is ready to have her kittens very soon.

I had a problem with her getting stolen since she became pregnant and then found out who took her. They brought her back and she seems fine. I can still feel the kittens when I rub her belly. She is VERY effectionate, and as everyone else has said, somewhat overly effectionate. As a matter of fact, I had to stop typing because she jumped in my lap. HA HA !!

I think I'm ready for this, a lady told me yesterday that my cat will take care of everything. All I have to do is feed her and make sure she has plenty of water to drink. So, I'm looking forward to this experience. God bless each of you pet owners, and your cat. :)

Comment #42 rain from florida -

My cat Love (she has a heart shaped spot on her back) had 3 kittens back in oct. 06. Her belly wasnt very big and she didnt change her normal habits to much. She went two weeks overdue and gave no signs of going into labor. I woke up one morning and had kittens under the table next to my bed. She was a great mom and knew just what to do. One kitten died at three weeks old because of a birth defect. I kept the other two. The vet told me i couldnt spay Love until she stoped nursing so I waited. She nursed her kittens regularly for almost five months, so I thought she was never going to stop. Then it happened, she ran out the door sceaming down the road, she was in heat. I knew at that point I was getting more kittens. Here we are 8 weeks later and she is huge and can hardly move. She's three times the size she was last time. She spends most of her time sleeping on the floor of the hallway or sleeping on the kitchen table. I made her a box and put it in my room. She got in it a few times, but didn't stay in it more than a few seconds. I just hope she doesn't have them on the kitchen table.

Comment #43 chrissie baldwin (217.43.28.7) -

Comment #44 jameswhite (82.32.224.85) -

how do i know if my cat is pregnant? and can you tell me any signs i should look out for, and how long does it take for the cat to give birth.

Comment #45 Pam Marek (68.96.23.7) -

My family and I found a stray cat in November. She was really small, and scared, but over the months she has become more friendly. She used be with us a lot. But now is somewhere. We noticed she was really fat and resting more. This morning we all noticed she was really skinny! Either she has a really serious workout routine or she had kittens! If she did have kittens where are they? Since she is so young do you think she can take care of them? We were wondering if we could find them, but would that affect them growing? Should we give her extra treatment and extra food, since she has to feed herself and kittens? Please help us take good care of Pepper.


Comment #46 vikki (64.12.116.76) -

Comment #47 Cuka (66.26.39.223) -

My cat Isebella is about a year and a half old well shes pregnate. Belly round , nippels enlarged all the sighns that I looked up on the internet... Well today I was scratching her back (most cats love this and usually raise their butts 4 some reason) Well then I noticed not alot but enough to tell that she had a little blood down there if u know what I mean not any comeing out but just enough that I could tell it was near the surface. Dose that mean shes having a misscarage or is she about to have kittens soon??????? Is this normal or something I should be worried about????? someone read this message and answer back soon.

Comment #59 Stephenie (12.207.140.46) -

Hello everyone! I have a really urgent question. My cat was about 50-60 days pregnant a couple days ago. And We keep her outside. I am really worried because we haven't seen her in about 3-4 days. She always comes over to the door for food every morning and numberous times throughout the day. But we haven't seen her anywhere. Is it possible she is hiding somewhere with her kittens? Or did she run away? I am really really worried. How long do they stay away when they have their kittens? If anyone knows anything that may help me. Please let me know ASAP. I am going to call the animal shelters today to see if they maybe found her. But hopefully she is okay!

Stephenie

Comment #67 melissaL from clearwater B.C. -

HI

i have a 1 yr old cat named ginger and shes giving birth to her 2nd little for kittens , her first little went just fine.

she gave birth to 2 kittens about 24 hrs ago , and i can feel more kittens inside of her, there all still alive inside.

only 1 kitten survived but shes not being a very good mother to it , not wanting to stay with it for a very long time,

she doesnt seem to be in pain or distress, shes eating and drinking and has gone outside.

what im wondering is if shes going to give birth to the rest of the kittens today ?.....HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE, WERE THE REST OF THE KITTENS WERE BORN AT A LATER DATE?

Comment #74 Jesse (142.167.92.27) -

my cat has been making weird noises lately. the vet said that she is 6-7 weeks pregnant. for some reson she loves it when people rub her belly. i though she would get "less friendly", being close to her due date. is there any sings i can look for to help me get an idea about when she'll have her kittens?

Hi can you help our cat is 18 months old and very very pregnant. She has always been an outside cat but has been shut in for 4 week because she kept going missing for a week at a time. She happy inside but each morning we expect to get up to kittens but nothing. She really cannot get any fatter. Her niples are visable through her fur but no milk yet. We have a fish tank and she started to hide in cupboard underneath so we put a blanket down now she not interested. She has a big box with a duvet in and wont go anywhere near the only place we find her is under the table on cold wooden floor. any ideas when we might have kittens?

hiya all my cat is pregnant shes been acting strange for the last 2 days how do i know when shes ready

Comment #77 Stephanie (209.146.133.72) -

Hey,

my cat, buffy, she's an indoor cat, went lost for 10 days and i think she came home pregnant. (this was in the middle to the end of june.) She's my sister's cat, wich means buffy and i are enemies but ever since she got pregnant, her and i were like best friends. I don't know what happen but i'm very confuse. i don't know if she's meowing cause she's going to give birth or if she's in heat? I know she's pregnant cause her belly is big and hard (and she WAS very small) we can totally see her nibbles and she's laying down a way she never before. What's going on with her?

Comment #80 Monya - Kitty Katz (220.245.178.141) -

Umm my cat is pregnant for the third time, first time she gave birth too 4 kittens, then 5, and now I don't know, i'd say she's got 5 days until she gives birth again, the thing is, is this normal? she's gonna have more than 12 kittens in less than 10 months? Also, we can't keep her inside she hates it, so we watch out for her non stop.

me again.im guessing my cat has about a week till babies. this is the 2nd time shes had babies i think. we dont know how many she has had excacly cause she is a stray. last year was the first year she had babies at our house. we wern't there when she had them probally because we were all asleep. the next day i found her under my bed. i patted her but relized her fur dosen't feel the same. then i herd a sortof 'squeek'. i tried to pull her out from under the bed. instead i pulled out 2 baby kittens! she had 4 that year and when we found them they were all fine. We first sold the 2 black ones to some other people but there kids [about 1 and 2 year olds] killed them. when we herd what happened we didn't sell the others, we kept them. One got put down a while ago because of a badly injured leg. I still don't fully understand why the vet coudn't fix her leg but they said they don't cope well with plasters around their feet and legs. we still have the other. So we are excited about the new kittens. but we are going to try and sell all of the kittens this year [to people who won't strangle them!]

Comment #84 Jakob (71.227.24.208) -

i think my 3 month old cat is pregnant... what should i do? She has big sides. Way bigger than any other part of her body. I've had about 4 cats that have gotten pregnant before but they were all mostly older. one had 8 litters, another had 7 litters, another had 2 litters, and another had 2 litters. but this cat was a stray and we found her as a kitten under a house. Ever since then shes been an indoor cat with a family of 2 male cats , about two years old and 3 years old. I'm kind of exited for her if shes pregnant, because my 8 year old cat sylvester just died. Also she has been drinking every last bit of water around the house and eating her food and all the other animals food and water. Shes the littlest cat in the house so it's kind of funny.

i think my cat going to birth to kittens.and shes looking all around my house.and her tummy is so so big.i am so exsited

Comment #88 Squee from California -

it can be hard to tell but I had a stray too so Ive seen some signs

my stray started to get REALLY affectionate the day before it was crazy she was drooling she was so happy but later on she started trying to hide under things and get comfy, she could not get comfy

thats another thing give her a place where she can be by herself without a lot of noise and somewhere thats maybe a little dark.

my stray didnt chose the place I made for her but somehow pried open a closet and gave birth in the corner.

anywho good luck, hope all goes well!! remember cat birthing is a LOT easier than we think.

Lately shes been meowing alot and shaking the screen door to get in. I dont know how long shes been pregnant for but shes huge. Im guessing shes close coz her nipples are swollen. But I was wondering If anyone could help me out because I want to knnow when I should start keeping her inside?

Comment #106 Connie (170.215.213.142) -

Signs your cat is about to pop:

1) Waddles around looking as if she has swallowed a bowling ball.

2) Meows CONSTANTLY.

3) Licks herself all over.

4) Seeks out a dark secluded place.

5) The ever-mentioned discharge.

6) My loco-en-la-cabeza (Spanish for INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE) Russian Blue usually has a temperament that is WORSE than Satan and Godzilla combined, well as I type that has changed to better than Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa combined. VERY vocal now too.

I hope its soon now because she is HUGE.

Comment #112 Jai & Ang (70.59.218.86) -

If your cat is acking different around the house and don't know were they are, they might be under the bed or can be in the closet.If you are worried about your cat, don't be worried beacuse they can take care of them self.When i had my fat cat i was so worried that she might have her kittens outside or in the backyard.We made a box big enough to fit alot of kittens.Our little fat cat was huge and i thought she was going to have her kittens at 5:00 in the moring.But i made a mistake, my mom and i went to work and school the next day.Then we came inside and i saw 4 little kittens in the box that we all made.So if you looked at the advice that we gave you, SO don't be worried and make a box for your cat and also look out for her or him. age 10

Comment #113 Jennifer (66.61.14.185) -

Hello. After reading all of the posts here my question is still not fully answered. Someone please lend me a little advice. I mated my cat about the first week of Feb. 2008 and figure shes due about the first week of April. However I am thinking that I should be able to feel the kitten(s) by now and I can't, I took her to the vet yesterday and he says that he feels liquid in the abdomin but no kittens ... if she is pregnant its not many ... She is showing all the signs of extra lovingness and she just started meowing like crazy today. I'm not sure if she is showing heat again or if she is really pregnant and finally feels something. I cannot tell if shes nesting or not with 2 little kids running around destroying the house and anything she may have made herself but she loves us all and sleeps with each of us on different nights. I hope she is but I'm thinking shes not. Please help. jberlovan@yahoo.com Thanks. !!

Comment #114 sam (86.10.220.112) -

i have 2 cats who are both nearly 1 year old, they are male and female. we only got our male cat castrated about a month ago, and before that he was always trying to mate with our female.

im not sure if they ever did male fully, but he always tried.

now shes really fat, and im not sure if shes pregnant or just big cos she eats LOADS.

she's a small cat anyway, apart from her big belly.

the mate cat is quite skinny even though he eats plently too, so she just looks even bigger compared to him.

is she probably pregnant?

please help mycat is in labbor ans there is a bubble of white stuff coming out of her and im not sure how long this will last and im home with my sister and a friend and im only 13 what do i do?

Comment #122 Chris (96.227.4.114) -

My cat, Deja, is on her third litter. When I notice she doesn't want to go outside anymore I go to the store and find the biggest box they have and put a soft towel or blanket in it. She lies in it sometimes, it mostly is for after she has her kittens so they don't get lost. I noticed that she also gets very loving and wants me to pet her constantly, especially when she has contractions. It also soothes her to tell her what a good job she's doing and to tell her that I love her. You can also see in there eyes when they are in labor.She let me and my children be in the room with her while giving birth. She had 4 and by the 3rd one she was so tired and couldn't eat the sac so I took a clean wash rag and gently rub it away from the face and help stimulate the kitten until she could eat all of it. A cat is pregnant for 9 weeks and between 6-7 weeks you should be able to see the kittens moving.So my Deja's time should be within the next week or so. I keep her in my bedroom where it is quiet and secluded.If you are crazy like me, lol, I call myself a grandma when she has them.So, goodluck to all you grandma's and grandpa's out there!


Comment #123 chris (96.227.4.114) -

Briana roberts... The first thing is to be calm. Most animals can do this on their own and you don't have to do a thing. I would try to watch her just incase she does have trouble delivering.Make sure that after the kitten is born that she licks the yucky stuff off the kitten and that she chews the cord off between her and the kitten.Labor really depends on her, if she feels threatened she will stop labor and start again tomorrow. Also depends on how many kittens she's gonna have.My cat had four, she started at 2:30 pm and was done around 7-8 pm that night. Good luck Briana and keep me informed!

My cat is definitly pregnant. But i don't know when she got pregnant. She dosnt seem comfortable anywhere. And she wont sit on your lap at all anymore. But shes still playing all the time. Should i be concerned at how much she runs around?

I have a cat named nyson and she has been preg. for awhile. I keep seeing her liking her vaigina is that a sign that she is ready to give birth? And I did not know that she can't give birth under a bed.oh all the cats stay alive. I think she might give birth today or tomorrow morning. Here is a tip the cat will seem more stressed out and won't let you touch her. she might think you will churt her babies

Comment #154 David (87.244.66.178) - Tue May 13 07:02:25 2008

Hi all! My Cat Donut gave birth last night, it was her first time and mine! It took her about 4 hours and i've ended up with 4 awesome little kitties :)

I knew my cat was going to give birth because she was lying in bed with me and all of a sudden started breathing very quickly, and then she started trying to hide under my duvet, I put her in her prepped box and she did the rest but kept me up the whole time!

Good luck to all of you :)

okay a few questions... I have a cat well maybe a kitten I can´t be sure of her age because we found her outside a laundry mat scrounging for scraps... needless to say we brung her home and she has been a great addition to the family.... If I had to guess I would say she is about 8 months old.. maybe 9... after everything I have read I know she is pregnant.... I am trying to get everything ready for her big day... I believe she still has a few weeks left..... her belly isn´t huge but it is getting bigger and she is eating like a horse....Here is my PROBLEM... I also am pregnant I know I am not allowed to clean the litter box (BOO HOO) but is there any risk in helping her if she needs it??? I don´t want to do anything to jeapordize the health of my unborn child... I can get my husband to help, in fact he is looking forward to it... I just wanted to be there and help out if she needed me.. Please let me know asap as I really don´t know how much longer she has.... thanks Diana

Comment #157 Purdon (206.80.249.29) - Sat May 17 16:27:45 2008

If anyone could help me out, this would mean so much to me.

I found a stray cat like last summer, 07 , & she goes to the barn over across from our house and comes back like everyday or maybe every second day. But i'v noticed in the past 4-5 weeks shes been getting very big, and my mother knows shes pregnant and we've made a place for her to deliver where she always sleeps, under our porch (shes not aloud inside, cause of my brothers allgeric.) and she loves it under there in the window sill, so we made her a bed in there with alot of baby nursery blankets and blocked out some of the wind and everything, and we've put out food for her and water, but she wont drink or eat. And shes very big, but she has a tiny frame. If anyone could tell me when or how i could tell when shes ready ? that would mean so much to me.

thanks,

Purdon.

Okay, thank you for answering my question.

But today she is acting normal, like sweet, calm, and purring all the time.

i sure hope not. CROSS MY FINGERS.


Comment #164 Purdon (206.80.246.39) - Sun May 18 14:00:30 2008

I think my cat got prego around, March 24th or something like that. its an estimation tho, i`m guessing by the size of her. she is very big and she couldnt possibly get anymore bigger. I cant wait until she has them, i love animals, im usually with all the cats over across the barn if im not in school or on the internet. I hope everything goes well. and I hope she decides to have them in her bed where shes lying right now outside, under the deck. This will be my 3rd time having a cat whose gonna give birth, but i was also younger when we had Sammi and Mignight. and I didnt hardly know what was going on, i was only lke 6-9 . and now im old enough to know what goes on. I have seen my mom give birth to my baby brother last year. and i found it neat how everything worked. When I grow up I am going through as a Vet, because im absulutely inlove with every animal i see.

Thanks for the information, and if anything happens soon, i will keep all of you updated.

Purdon.

ALL OF YOU PEOPLE SHOULD SPAY YOUR CATS

i am on this site because of a stray that is pregnant and it's making me very sad that y'all think it's so great to proliferate this problem when thousands and thousands of cats are put to death every day.


Comment #169 Caroline (68.34.215.143) - Tue May 27 16:52:31 2008

gees!! get a life "rescue worker". maybe if people didn't take pets away from people to "rescue" them from their "horrible" lives then they wouldn't be put to sleep so much.

Comment #170 Rob (58.168.251.241) - Tue Jun 3 03:12:54 2008

Resuce worker

are u stupid?

every single person wants everyone to spay there cats and if every single person spays there cats

cats would die out?

have u every thought of that?

its not like its against the law to not spay them

we can do what ever we want to our cats

your not the owner of it!


Comment #171 Ceed (70.49.133.72) - Tue Jun 3 19:44:06 2008

I agree with rescue worker, we should all spay our cats. There is a problem with overpopulation and it just causes more unfortunate deaths at the hand of humans or otherwise. Once the shelters run out of cats then it is time to stop spaying, but I do not see that happening any time soon.

Also a note to people asking questions; try reading the first 20 posts, all the answers to your questions are there.


Comment #172 Becky (142.166.244.192) - Mon Jun 9 21:03:39 2008

hi everyone. my cat is an indoor cat. she got out about a year ago, and had three gorgeous kittens.. but she got out around the twentieth of april. it takes 2 months for the kittens come, that is, if my research is correct. they should be here soon. she's a very loving cat, and i remember last time she had her cats on my bed (yes, i did get a new bed). im going away this weekend, and since im the only one who takes care of my cat, im worried about the fact that her kittens could come a little earlier than expected. lately, she's been meowing alot, and cannot get comfortable. her nipples are swollen like crazy, and i think shes been searching the house for a place to settle down in. how can i tell how much longer it will be, so the people in my house can take care of her if im not around ?

so u need to look for the signs to when they will give birth b/c there is a chance they will have a complication and will need ur help


Comment #176 kitty alert (70.126.75.36) - Sun Jun 15 03:07:00 2008

We have strays that are about 7-8 months old. The runt just gave birth to 5 kittens 3 weeks ago and another is getting ready to give birth.

Because she was so young she did need our help a bit. The first just came out and she left it. After several min. and it wasn, t breathing, we removed the sac gave it a lil cpr and rubbed it. It started breathing. Another was 1/2 out and we had to help because she was tired. We had to cut the umbilical chord.

The first 3 came within an hour or so, the other 2 were hours later. Just be there, give them a soft places, pet them...We let them in the house to give birth and take care of them for now until we find them homes.

Try to keep an eye out so you can help them as sometimes the need it.

They seem to meow ALOT and follow you more when they are ready to give birth. The babies start moving alot, belly is low and their rear end kind of changes, almost like they are bow legged and walking funny.


Comment #177 Justwondering (69.31.252.85) - Wed Jun 18 22:53:02 2008

My just got fat and we nkow she will have kittens soon but we don't know when because we never knew she was pregnant until 2 weeks ago. I am always wanting to keep her inside so she will be safe when she has her kittens. Please let me know when i van tell she will have babies. Last time our other cat had kittens I said she would and i was right even though know one thought she would.

Comment #178 Angela (71.229.83.95) - Fri Jun 20 10:34:11 2008

There are so many messages from confused pet owners on here. It makes sense because when us people have babies its a huge ordeal. Not to lessen the exciting arrival of your new kitty babies but "they do it every day in the wild". My cat Charlie (Charlotte) had her first litter last winter. We didn't really know she was pregnant till the very end and when she had them she would not let me leave her side. She went so far as to follow me down the hallway with a little kitten leg in its sac hanging out of her rear end! She got pregnant again before she weened the 1st litter so we didn't have a chance to get her fixed. She had the second litter under our bed, we didnt know she had them until after two days of searching the house we heard the little squeaks of the babies from under our bed. The second litter is about 13 weeks old and she is almost due with her third litter, We have her crated right now to keep her alone, and a blanket over the crate. She seems to feel safe, she's not trying to escape the little home we made her. She has a litter box and blankets and food and water. She seems to enjoy it, she just lays all spread out and seems really relaxed. She did a great job with her last two litters, the first bunch had 5 kittens, the second bunch there were only three. We have been able to find homes for most of them. two of the kittens from the second litter are still with us and up until last week when she started to nest she was still nursing them. This is just a note to let everyone know that there's nothing to worry about, as long as she's not crying out in extreme pain, bleeding abnormally, or remains pregnant for unusually long, everything will probably be ok. Some cats make better mothers than others, some will ditch the kittens, some will eat the kittens, some will bite the crap outta you for getting close to the kittens, but most of the time everything will be just fine. Give your momma cat some privacy (crates are great if you have other animals). Make sure she has plenty of food and water and your new momma will handle the rest.

Hopefully we can keep her and the babies crated and then we will ween them at 6-8 weeks so we can get her fixed before she gets knocked up again. As a side note, she has had the same 'baby daddy' for the last two litters and probably this one as well. She is all gray with white on her chest and so is he so all the babies look exactly alike!


Comment #179 Jessica (76.25.137.138) - Tue Jun 24 22:13:04 2008

Hi!

I picked up a pregnant stray about a week ago. She is huge! I can see the babies kicking in her stomach. It looks painful. My question is how far along is a cat when you can actually SEE the babies moving? They are very strong and I think there are a lot. I just want to make sure i am there when they are born becuase she is so young and so small. The vet says around 9 months old and only 6 pounds even pregnant. They did seem to want to tell me much about how far along she is becuase they wanted me to pay for an xray that wouldnt be able to tell them anyway.

She had a big belly

She eats all the time

She can't seem to get comfy

She is really affectionate (but she was a stray so I dont know her normal affection level)

She will whine at me till i pet her, but then if I leave my hand (even softly) on her belly she swats at me.

I dont know when she will pop!

Stargzr87@aol.com

Help please!
