Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Meet Sonya
Rob wasn't too pleased, but I told him that the power of the purr is bigger than he is. We picked up Sonya about an hour and a half ago. Sonya is a gray and white tuxedo and ready to give birth at any moment. Rob said that he'd rather not deal with a pregnant mum, but we are needed for her and she is a little darling. She's very nervous, needless to say, but has been placed in Mandy's bedroom. Mandy has been given instructions and information on the care and feeding of a cat who needs to be eating for five. I keep wanting to say seven, so do you think I'm right and she'll have six kits? Poll here. Anyway, Sonya is being fed kitten food. We have a warm bed ready for her, and we know that the odds are that she'll reject the bed. We have KMR and baby bottles ready for the kits, and are hoping that everything goes like clockwork and we don't need them. So, kitten poll. How many kits do you think Sonya is going to have and when do you think she'll have them.

I know you know, but find a dark spot (maybe the closet?) in Mandy's room for her to birth the babies and get ready to pace the floor like a worried meowmie. Rob will be pacing too, I just know it.

And Mandy will have a fit if she sleeps through it. Try to keep her bedroom door closed so Mamma cat doesn't have too many choices of where to drop the kittens. Might be a good idea to put the box inside her closet with the door mostly closed. Jo > Rob wasn't too pleased, but I told him that the power of the purr is > bigger than he is.

There is no room in Mandy's closet for anything. Cat is kept in Mandy's room 24/7, poor cat. Sonya has taken possession of the underbed and has come out only to use her litter box, so far. We're hoping that she relaxes before the big event. I'm saying Sunday and 6 kittens. Pam S. > My bet is four kittens and sometime between midnight and dawn Monday > morning. > > And Mandy will have a fit if she sleeps through it. I'll never forget when I was around ten and our cat Thompson had kittens in my bed in the middle of the night. I was awake, and I rushed in to my parents' bedroom after each kitten, excitedly telling them what colour this latest one was and rushing back in my room. Finally, Mum told me to just go back to sleep. Of course, I couldn't. I just sat and watched Thompson and her kittens.

You're in trouble now, lady. lol I could never take in pregnant moms- to-be when I was fostering. I just didn't have the time if sometime went wrong. Purrs for you too, and have loads of fun with the lil wons when they are born. SignatureCheryl Pam, we will be purring and praying that Sonya's babies are all healthy and that she doesn't have a hard time during birthing. You and Rob are kind souls.

I would be a nervous wreck!! and not to mention I would want to keep all of them. I am guessing 6 kittens, by Tuesday. BTW, how is the rest of your animal menagerie reacting to this?

Pine Cone is pouting because Mike reminded him that Penny thought he was a bad influence on kittens and would attack him any time he even looked in their direction, but would let the rest of the cats hang out with her four. Since Mandy's door is being kept closed, PC couldn't be in there anyway. Speedy has been whining at the door off and on since this afternoon. He knows the cat is in there, he can smell her, but no one will let him in to play with her. She is terrified of him and bristles up whenever she hears him whining at the door. We keep re-assuring her that we won't let the d-thing get her. The rest of the cats could care less. She's here and so what. Pam S. Tanada <tanada@nospamearthlink.net> had some very interesting things to say about Meet Sonya: >So, kitten poll. How many kits do you think Sonya is going to have and >when do you think she'll have them. Five kittens, Sunday night. Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL Four kittens, late Monday night. Be on the watch, I've seen many mamacats lose the firstborn of the first litter, because it takes them a little too long to figure out what to do (tear off the sack and make it breathe) especially with kitten #2 on the way out at the same time. > Four kittens, late Monday night.

Yes, you have to be prepared to do that for her if she get distracted by delivering the next one. Just tear it away from their face and rub them gently from head to tail. Sometimes gently blowing in their face will get them to breathe. Then again it can be enough to just put the ignored kitten by her face so she sees and smells it. Jo > Rob wasn't too pleased, but I told him that the power of the purr is > bigger than he is. We picked up Sonya about an hour and a half ago. > Sonya is a gray and white tuxedo and ready to give birth at any moment. Aww, you got a pregnant one. I'm jealous of all that kitten cuteness you will get to enjoy (reminds me I haven't visited my niece in some time). I'm bad at guessing this kind of thing, but knowing that cat mamas can hold their kittens in if they think it might not be safe to give birth, I'd say she's going to delay them for some days, let's say until Tuesday. 5 kittens.

I don't think she was really feral, I suspect she was an abandoned pet, turned out of house and home when she got pregnant. She'd hang around, loved skritches, and ate the food and water we left outside for her. One night she just stood outside our door and meowed till we let her in. We put her in a towel-lined box in the kitchen and she had her litter that night. We got to see the babies in the morning, and I'm not sure that wasn't for the best -- I'd have worried too much seeing them born. We were asking people if they wanted kittens and not having much luck. Fortunately, our mailman was looking for a family of cats. He took the whole bunch! It sure made us feel good to have homed the mama and all her kittens. Regards and Purrs, O J > Rob wasn't too pleased, but I told him that the power of the purr is > bigger than he is.
