Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Ping Tanada: Sonya's Status?
Kittens or not yet? Gotta be the longest pregnancy and labor in history! Soothing purrs and birdie chirps continue. Jill  SignatureI used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. > Kittens or not yet?

MLB >Kittens or not yet? Gotta be the longest pregnancy and labor in history! Yeah, we're all on pins and needles. I've been checking out RPCA every hour on the hour since 7:00 a.m.!! Sure hope all is going/went well. Jeanne > >Kittens or not yet? Gotta be the longest pregnancy and labor in history! > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jeanne Yeah, what ^she^ said. I wanna hear about babies... Please? Smokie Darling (Annie) - who's got purrs from the masters and grunts from the d+g, going full steam. > Kittens or not yet?

Purrs continue from us as well - hope everything has gone smoothly and Sonya is resting comfortably with her brand new litter of kittens to spoil ;-) Kerrie >> Kittens or not yet?

It's finally happening? Where the heck is Pam? Maybe she fainted during the labor?? > Kittens or not yet?

I hope all is well with Pam and Sonya. I am a bit concerned. I still think it will be four kittens. Crossing my fingers. > I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. I always assumed false pregnancy was a psychological thing, but that doesn't seem likely with a cat ... was I wrong in my assumption?

I don't know about cats, but some dogs - or rather bitches - certainly get it. After the appropriate length of time after they've been in season, they get moody, usually attach themselves to an object such as a slipper or cuddly toy, scratch up everywhere making a bed for their surrogate puppy, place it in the bed and produce milk for it. They will guard it, too. What they *don't* do is get so fat and uncomfortable that they have to walk straddle-legged. I don't know what to make of Sonya at all. The gestation period for cats is the same as dogs, nine weeks. Pam has had her how long. nearly 7 weeks?? Certainly not long enough for a true pregnancy to show when she first had her, I wouldn't have thought. In a bitch, after about four weeks after mating, if you lift her front legs up so she's standing just on her hind legs and look down, her abdomen will look just a bit rounded if there are puppies in there. At that stage they do not expand outwards. Ah, I don't know if cats are the same! It's a puzzle. I wish Pam would tell us what's happening. She's so cruel to tell us that Sonya's in labour (the day before yesterday for me) and then not post an update. ;-) even if it isn't good news. I'm waiting here with bated breath, as I'm sure all you lot are too. Tweed >>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >> [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Tweed Do you suppose she really is waiting for an April's Fools' Day surprise? I keep saying to myself "Yes, Virginia, there really is a Sonya." Old saying" With Faith, all things can happen>" I also keep thinking maybe the worst has happened and she doesn't want to tell us. See! We are all really worried. MLB >>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>> [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > the worst has happened and she doesn't want to tell us. See!

MLB That's what I am worried about. >>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>> [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > the worst has happened and she doesn't want to tell us. See! We are all > really worried. MLB I'm also worried that the worst might have happened, but then again, if I don't know what's happening, I worry anyway. I would rather hear the worst than not know. Sonya\ tell us. Tweed >>>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>> [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > > Tweed I'm with you on that. In checking past posts, I count about 8 from Pam since she said Sonya was in labor. She is caught up in that Toad thing. Is that more important than Sonya? Or us? MLB >>>>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] > since she said Sonya was in labor. She is caught up in that Toad thing. > Is that more important than Sonya? Or us? MLB Pam sent 10 posts in reply to various others all at more or less the same time as she said Sonya was in labour. I don't agree that the Toad Suck thing is more important to Pam, I guess we'll soon know (and it can't come soon enough for me) what the reason is. Maybe her computer has crashed. Maybe it's bad news, I don't know. Pam knows that we are all on tenterhooks, and I trust her to let us know as soon as she is able to. Please tell us soon, Pam, I can hardly bear the suspense. Tweed >>>>>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 74 lines] > > Tweed Being a worrier, I am now worrying that Pam has collapsed from anxiety too. MLNB >>>>>>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 87 lines] > Being a worrier, I am now worrying that Pam has collapsed from anxiety > too. MLNB I'm a terrible worrier too. Let's hold virtual hands for comfort while we wait to hear. <hands held> Tweed >>>>>>>>> I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 92 lines] > > Tweed Thanks for the hand holding. I keep telling myself "no news is good news" -- but! I wonder? MLB >>>>>>>>>I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. >>>>>>>> [quoted text clipped - 92 lines] > > Tweed I too am a bit concerned. Can't anyone contact Pam via phone or some other means? > > I'm inclined to put my money on a false pregnancy. > > I always assumed false pregnancy was a psychological thing, but that doesn't > seem likely with a cat ... was I wrong in my assumption? I've heard of cats and dogs having false pregnancies.

MLB What about false labor? Do cats have false labor? I know d*gs can and do, not sure about kitties though. Smokie Darling (Annie) Sending out purrs to Sonya, her kittens, and Tananda.
