Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Pam and family are all right
Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). Everyone is doing fine. What happened is that she was going to take Jim to work and he said Sonya was panting and purring at the same time. Pam posted she was in labor before she checked on her herself. Apparently she was purring, just not in labor. After the Holly situation she didn't want people thinking she was acting like "Holly" and I think with some of the conversation about Sonya not being pregnant, although the vet has confirmed that she's pregnant, Pam is reluctant to post until Sonya has had her kittens. Then there is of course RL which is busy at the moment so she really hasn't had a chance to come online. She says Sonya is huge and very uncomfortable. I told her Sonya was holding them in because she was afraid of being booted out after the kittens are born but Pam says they're adopting Sonya. Mandy was going to go into the bedroom and assure Sonya that she was staying in hopes that might get her to relax and poop the kittens. I'm leaving town in about 2 hours so I figure Sonya will have the kittens this weekend while I'm gone (since I've checked daily to see if the kittens are here yet, Murphy's Law in effect). Purrs coming to everyone who needs them. See you all on Monday. Julie > Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). > Everyone is doing fine.

If I remember correctly, Sonya is off to the Vet on Friday to make sure there are no complications. Waiting and waiting and waiting, Charleen Thank God for large favors. As long as everyone is OK, human and four-footed fuzzy people alike, that's all that matters. My one remaining concern is that Sonya might end up needing the vet to assist with the birth. I'm surprised at the person(s) at the shelter who originally predicted that Sonya was sure to give birth any minute, back in early February, or was it late January? How did they misjudge her condition that much? Or was she huge even then, I wonder? (Boy, if she appeared ready to give birth five weeks or so ago, she must be Garfield-esque in size now, poor kitty.) Here's to a healthy litter of kittens, ASAP so Sonya can get comfortable. And so Pam can stop pacing a hole in the floor ;o) and everyone knows how many homes need to be lined up for the new furballs. Donna, Captain, and Stanley Thank goodness eveyone's OK! I've had a rotten morning here but this news has to be the start of a good "rest of the day". > Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). > Everyone is doing fine.

Great news! Although most of us have known that for a while whether Pam admitted it or not... Do get pushing though, Sonya... > Sonya is still pregnant.

What happened is that she was going to take Jim [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Julie Thanks so much for setting our minds at ease. If we had never heard of something we, of course, would not worry.. But -- Sonya is now part of our lives too so what do worriers do? Worry. I hope she has an uncomplicated delivery. Best wishes to all. MLB First of all I can't believe Sonya is STILL pregnant!! Man, the poor thing must be so uncomfortable. But at least I'm glad that Pam and everyone is okay. I'm also heading out to San Luis Obispo for a swim meet tomorrow and won't be back until Saturday night, so I hope things will turn out alright. kristi > Sonya is still pregnant. Thank you for the update, Julie. Pam, we could never suspect you of anything like that. Please keep us updated on Sonya. So glad to hear you are adopting her. Purrs coming for kittens to make an appearance soon.

Pam, good luck! Sonya, MEGA good luck! (I think your foster Meowmie would LOVE it if you were to give birth nice and natural in the night....) I have a feeling Sonya may need some help with giving birth, but I hope I'm wrong. Melissa > Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). > Everyone is doing fine. Oh I'm so glad! I'm glad the hoomins aRE FINE - THAT WAS MY BIGGEST WORRY (Oops - cap lock - Peewee's helping). I think the people who said something about Sonya not being pg were just joking. I hope she goes soon, and without complications.... -L. [[ I think the people who said something about Sonya not being pg were just joking. I hope she goes soon, and without complications....]] Either that, or maybe they were wondering if Sonya was having a false pregnancy. I know that's something that can happen to d-pets. I'm guessing that felines can have symptoms like that, too (can't they?). But I don't think it crossed anyone's mind that another Holly-like situation was in the works. So I would hope Pam's not worried on that score. Still hoping that Sonya's little ones arrive safely, and soon, Donna and the kitties who wanna be uncles, Captain and Stanley >> Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > -L. Yes, I compared her to TuTu who always looks like she is carrying a couple of dozen babies. She was a starved stray and her goal in life now is to see it never happens again. Purrs for a safe delivery for Sonya. MLB Thank you Julie Pam and Rob and family, we love you guys and pray that that ordinary fun fill exhausting days continue for a very long time. Any of us that know you, know that the rescue group that placed Sonya with you, may have overstated how far along she was in her pregnancy just a tad. Sonya will poop out those kittens at just the proper time. Thing is, only Sonya will know when that is. Jo > Sonya is still pregnant.

No one hear thinks you're making this up - though I wonder if we should check into getting Sonya the world record for longest feline pregnancy on record ;-)) Let us hear from you when RL gives you time SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy and Little Bit stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html Phew...I haven't even been here long enough to get to know a lot of people, but I was getting concerned. I recall that Sonya needed to go back to the vet...today? yesterday? I hope all goes well. its not fun being overdue. Thak you Julie! I was genuinely concerned and did not suspect a "holly" situation. Pam has posted longer than I have(since 2000). I was worried about Rob because he had some problems. Last summer. I'm glad Sonya's found her Onetruehome. Purrs that the kittens are born asap. >Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). >Everyone is doing fine.

I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). >Everyone is doing fine. Whew!! This is a relief!! Our focus was changing from concern for Sonya to worry about the family and it's great to know they're OK. Poor Pam, she must really be tied up with RL - we know her well enough to know she wouldn't pull a "Holly" on us; Pam can be a prankster at times but she'd never do *that*, knowing we'd be hurt. Bottom line, many thanks for getting the good word to us, purrs for Sonya, and congrats to the family on their latest addition. (I'd bet that at least one kitten would be so cute it would find a home there too.) Jeanne >Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). >Everyone is doing fine.

Apparently >she was purring, just not in labor. Thank you so much for the update, Julie! That's what I thought at first. I'm 100% sure that Sonya is really pregnant, but when Pam said that Sonya was in "stage one" of labor according to a "home vet book", I didn't think that Sonya was really in labor yet. I mean, if you need a book to tell you that a cat is in labor, she probably isn't. :) Betty and I are sending lots and lots of purrs and kitten lovin headbutts to Sonya and Pam and kittens and family. I can't see the original message in this thread but it looks like the whole thing is reproduced below. I am wondering if Pam said why she didn't come back with a "false alarm" update for us. > >Sonya is still pregnant. I just got off the phone with Pam (and Rob). > >Everyone is doing fine.

Of course we wouldn't think Pam is pulling a "Holly".

Jill > Thank you for checking in with Pam for us! > > Jill I am glad everyone is doing ok...Bright Blessings for Sonya I don't know who Holly is but Pam, when I was born, I was almost 3 weeks late and my mom was in labor for 36 hours, so I am not one to talk smack about Sonya's kittens ;) --Fil >> Thank you for checking in with Pam for us! >> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > --Fil <snicker> my first son was also almost 3 weeks late and I hit the 100 hour mark for labor... yes, that's 4 days! I still remind him of it and he just turned 26... Sonya will have those kittens when she's good and ready. Katrina Katrina <worleyk@gmail.com> had some very interesting things to say about Re: Pam and family are all right: ><snicker> my first son was also almost 3 weeks late and I hit the 100 >hour mark for labor... yes, that's 4 days! I still remind him of it >and he just turned 26... Sonya will have those kittens when she's good >and ready. My mother claims 72 hours of labor, six weeks later than she thought I'd arrive (my grandfather [her father] is of the opinion her math was off. Since no one on that side of the family is any good at math, he might be right (grin)).

OK, I realise you didn't have the option of backing out of it when you realised it would take that long. :oP SignatureMarina, Frank, Nikki, and coming soon: Mere! marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki >> <snicker> my first son was also almost 3 weeks late and I hit the 100 >> hour mark for labor... yes, that's 4 days! I still remind him of it [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the option of backing out of it when you realised it would take that > long. :oP Yeah, I was pretty much committed at that point. The one thing I do remember is that after the first 24 hours the "don't eat while in labor" guideline went out the window (I baked a batch of chocolate cupcakes and ate about half of them... when we got home from one of our trips to the hospital, there were kitty toothprints in the rest). After 72 hours my Mom (a Labor and Delivery nurse) took me to her house and poured me a bottle of wine. Her theory was that the alcohol would: a) stop the labor, b) relax me and speed it up, or c) put me to sleep. As it turned out, it was both b) and c). I fell asleep and when I woke up things were starting to progress. Katrina >> Thank you for checking in with Pam for us! >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > I don't know who Holly is > --Fil Someone who managed to scam the group but good; convinced everyone she was a cat-lover who had a tumor... then that she was in the hospital having surgery and her "husband" was posting for her. Had people sending her cards, etc. Turned out she (and "he") was posting from her office email address and the address to send the cards to was also her office address. She had us going for a LONG time. When she was "found out", she got all indignant, but she was still posting from her office email address. Then she pretended someone ELSE was pretending to be her, but the "real" Holly was still posting from the same office email address. Jill > I am glad everyone is doing ok...Bright Blessings for Sonya > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > --Fil Thanks Fil, I was spoiled. My longest labor, the one where the bratling decided to deliver herself while everyone else in the delivery room was busy getting ready for her, was five hours. She was also a day early. Mike was my shortest labor, 45 minutes and two weeks early, and Jason was four hours and 2-3 weeks early. Pam S. an impatient type of mother Thank Julie - I feel better knowing that they are all alright. And I would never think ill of Pam! I know that we all have RL!

If she was posting that there was any need for purrs whatsoever, we'd all know they were genuine. She's been here far too long to be anything else. > She says Sonya is huge and very uncomfortable.
