Were you the one with the sally mae issues? if so how did that turn out?

Just an FYI..my cat is almost 30 lbs. he gained when I got him neutered, I put him on a diet because he got kitty diabeties.. now he just lays spread eagle on the floor. People think he's a dog.

I wish I had kittens....can you mail me one?

The other night I woke my mother up at 2:30 a.m. cause my cat was lying (on my bed) dead face up, mouth open, and paws up! I moved her, called her name...nothing. So, my Mom flipped out and we ran back to my room where we found her yawning and barley opening her eyes!

I have 5 kids and the cat is exhausted all of the time, so that happens to me too!! he just lays there on his back. I thought it might be kitty coma, but I really think he's just that tired.

FTR, he weighs more than my 3 youngest kids...ha ha

We just lost our 21 year old cat last month, I still miss her horribly. The DD (aged 12½) and the remaining cat needed companionship so we adopted a 2 year old who is about 4 pounds last week.

Fortunately, the new one has been fixed, so no litters are in our future.

Hope you have a small litter and many willing friends who will adopt the little needle-clawed darlings.

Thought I'd warn you to make sure the cat doesn't go hide in your bed to do her business with the labor. Might want to put her in a bathroom with a blanket, or something.

I had a cat that had clawed open the bottom of the couch (under) and climbed inside and had her babies there...yummy cleaning that up...

I had to tip the couch over and pull them out...lovely time, really.

Congratulations!!

I have 3, hence the username, all of which have been fixed from the age of 7 months. So no baby kitties for me except the ones I have now.

Each one has a distinct "purr-sonality" (sorry, I know, bad joke)

Love them all-they are my children.

Good luck.

This isn't the first time we've rescued a pregnant Momma... the first one, we rescued before Xmas & was pregnant... she had her litter on Xmas day, on my daughter's bed (top bunk). Grody.

One was all white and developed light grey ear & tails from 3-8wks of age, so now we know the Momma cat had some siam/burmese background. of course, we kept that kitten, she was gorgeous. And we named her Christmas!

This one is curled up under my dresser... I got a towel underneath her. We got her a birthing box but she had no interest in it; why would she when she could ruin our white carpet instead! NOT keeping any kittens from this litter, and I think we're over the rescuing/spaying/neutering/rehoming kick, too!

I have 2 spayed and neutered. both of which i used a credit card to pay for. Here's a great web site for all you animal lovers. Just go on each day and click the food button (it's free) and you will help many abused and homeless kitties and other animals. You can also purchase some great items. www.theanimalrescuesite.com. Great off the beat thread!!!!!

Pretty much every cat that has turned up at our door, no matter how young and/or skinny, was pregnant. The most recent one was so affectionate that she did her labor on the desk where I was working (back when I worked at home.) Got her into her little den in the closet just as kitten #1 started to crown. I guess I was her doula or something...

Can we name them?

I am thinking along the lines of FICO, Experian, Transunion, Equifax

or maybe PIF, DOLA, Goodwill

Currently catless, and dog is not going with me (not mine)....if you were in Northern California would take a couple of your hands.

Hauling,

So far - five. She's still going strong. Two black, three black w/ white chins/bellies/feet. She's a black momma, so not suprising her kits are black

Good heavens, she was busy 8 weeks ago, wasn't she?

Our cat had three kittens that were all variations on long-haired black and tortoiseshell, and one short-haired orange and white tabby. Complicated love life there, apparently.

I know what you mean...

The first one we rescued, had five that were all long-haired & grey, one w/ white underbelly (like momma) and then this random gorgeous white w/ blue sealpoint & ice blue eyes. She has some 'splainin' to do !

I remember when I was around 10 or so, my dad brought home a cat (in a knotted pillow case) from a golfcourse. Apparently he'd seen her there and she was friendly but a little spastic and tore the heck out of him when he caught her to bring her home - hence the knot to keep her in there and not on his face while driving.

Well, she was gorgeous, all black, and tiny.

Shortly there after she started to put on the pounds, and popped out 8 blue point siamese kittens. We were in shock. We ended up giving them all away and never brought in another stray haha. They were so cute though!

Good luck with yours Ivy
