my cat is pregnant, her nipples have clear liquid starting to come out of them, and she has been laying around the house but shes not screaming or seeming like shes trying to push, if shes not in labor when will she be im not exactly sure when she got pregnant, this is her first litter and probally her first heat to, i didnt think she was old enough to be in heat yet so this is her first and last she is getting fixed, i want to be there when she has the kittens in case she has complications being shes young and her first litter but i dont know when she is going to have them. now today she threw up yet still no kittens should i be concerned? > my cat is pregnant, her nipples have clear liquid starting to come out of > them, and she has been laying around the house but shes not screaming or [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > litter but i dont know when she is going to have them. > now today she threw up yet still no kittens should i be concerned?

I wouldn't do that either she'll have the babies on her own you have no reason to believe there should be any problems I don't understand why people run to the vet every little fart thats let YOU'RE CAT IS DOING THE MOST NATURAL THING ON EARTH IT DOES NOT REQUIRE A VET Buy good catfood with the money the vet would have gotten - thanks bit-o-honey i was starting to feel guilty for not taking her, i am feeding her iams kitten food the purple bag i read somewhere that was good for her. i hope she has them soon lol shes been wanting me to hold her non stop lol hard to do with 3 kids to >> im taking her to the vet if nothing happens by tommorrow. > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >Buy good catfood with the money the vet would have gotten >- > thanks bit-o-honey i was starting to feel guilty for not taking her, i am > feeding her iams kitten food the purple bag i read somewhere that was good > for her. i hope she has them soon lol shes been wanting me to hold her non > stop lol hard to do with 3 kids to mhmm I hope you keep at least one of the kittens Kittens are great! I took a pregnant cat in once, I made her a bed in the closet, she gave birth in there. After having the babies her bed was a little messy, I gave her a couple of days to recover as she was pretty tired... I changed her bedding and basically hit the whole box of cats with a big warm wash rag, wiped'em all down. so you may see a little mess just after, and maybe a little blood I put a little napkin of food down next to mommy so she could nibble without having to get out of bed, I think she liked that. I also secured her some water in there. kittens are so darn cute post back after she has them, or if you have any further concerns I would expect her to be out of sorts, change of eating habits, litter habits etc.. she's out of wack for the moment... you have 3 children so im sure you know how thangs change the funny thing is, they don't holler like human females, lol once she starts, it should take maybe a couple of hours... they are quiet about it... maybe your children can watch the babies being born, it can be a good experience > my cat is pregnant, her nipples have clear liquid starting to come out of > them, and she has been laying around the house but shes not screaming or [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > litter but i dont know when she is going to have them. > now today she threw up yet still no kittens should i be concerned? Is she acting normally otherwise? Vomiting can be a sign of labor. Cats will produce colustrum for a couple days before birth. You need to make her a soft bed in a quiet area in the dark (a closet works well) and show it to her. Durning labor she will get restless, may pant, howl and lick herself a lot, espcially in the vaginal area. She will look to nest - and may not choose the nest you have made for her. that's ok - you can move the kittens and clean up the mess later. . As she births, leave her alone! You only need to check her every 45 minutes to an hour. If you mess with her or the kittens too much, she may stop labor and/or reject the kittens. Just let her have them and take care of them. If she seems sickly, feverish, vomits profusely, won't eat or won't drink, or generally doesn't look well, take her in asap to the vet! -L. i called the vet they said give it a few days because she is acting normal playing with hr brother only threw up that one time not seeming to be in labor nothing except clear liquid out her nipples im not exactly sure when she is due? >> my cat is pregnant, her nipples have clear liquid starting to come out of >> them, and she has been laying around the house but shes not screaming or [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >-L. > Is she acting normally otherwise?

She had dem babies yet? she had them the fourth of july, she is solid gray and all 4 of her kittens are solid black go figure lol but all are alive and so far doing good they are sneezing just a little bit but i think it might because of my air conditioner she has moved them several times and will not keep them in her box so she is in my closet with them she had them under my bed of course lol while we were downtown watching fireworks if the girls would just stop wanting to hold them all the time but they are so cute, 3 boys and 1 girl the girl which i have now named Liberty >> my cat is pregnant > >So What up?!? > >She had dem babies yet? > she had them the fourth of july, she is solid gray and all 4 of her kittens > are solid black go figure lol but all are alive and so far doing good they [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > wanting to hold them all the time but they are so cute, 3 boys and 1 girl the > girl which i have now named Liberty That's really cool, i like the name Liberty Yes, I think the a/c might be a little chilly for her and babies... I think it's more the breeze than the temp, they can always snuggle up together I'm sure you're taking very good care of them satanist like black cats for some reason, be yareful when you give them away I take it you're keeping Liberty and maybe Mom? I know it may be a tough decision but that would leave you with 3 black males I wouldn't advertise them in the paper, you could get some freaks coming for a black cat i know so i have decided to keep all of them except one and she is going to my step daughters moms house so i know that one will be taken care of, i promised her one for her moms house so the rest i have decided to keep but this is going to be her only litter as soon as she is done nursing im going to have her spayed. im worried that we might be holding them to much though i cant wait to see them open their eyes and start walking around the house. i put extra sheets in the closet and being its upstairs it is a little bit warmer up there. she is so far a really good mom i still have her on iams kitten food but her brother now wants it instead of his regular cat food. i also started her on a can a day of can food now that seems to be all she wants to eat i have hfood upstairs and in the kitchen so she is close to her food and fresh water. someone told me to give her regular milk, do you think that is safe? email me back or either if you want email me at angelflight93@yahoo.com ok talk to you soon >> she had them the fourth of july, she is solid gray and all 4 of her kittens >> are solid black go figure lol but all are alive and so far doing good they [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >I wouldn't advertise them in the paper, you could get some freaks >coming for a black cat > someone told me to give her regular milk, do you > think that is safe? email me back or either if you want email me at > angelflight93@yahoo.com ok talk to you soon I don't really know about milk I used to give mine milk as a weekly treat and they don't always finish it but recently someone told me it would give them worms (that may not be true considering the source) I haven't given them any since, till I get educated on the subject I really like the name Liberty, now you gotta beat that name for the other 3 what is moms name... are you able to post pics at some point? I have a black cat too, she's so cute, and sweet as honey Today, I took a nap, I woke up from my nap, I was on one side of the bed my two cats were laying just like me, on their side facing the same way I was there we were 3 lazy bones sleeping the afternoon away you must have central a/c, I think for the room they are in, maybe just keep the draft off of mom... this will reduce the wind chill factor, lol > I don't really know about milk > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > true considering the source) I haven't given them any since, till I get > educated on the subject Giving them milk doesn't cause worms but it can cause diarrhoeae--many cats are lactose intolerant and milk can give them a severe case of the runs!! They sure do like it, though! Bonnie yeah i think i will hold off on the milk to and just keep her on the iams kitten food, shes in my closet so its warmer in there too. the moms name is Piper and her brother is Leo off my favorite show charmed so now i have Liberty, im thinking off one of the boys naming him freedom, the one going to my stepdaughters house has been named midnight by my step daughter so now 1 more name if i decide to go with freedom ill try to post some pics it was a sleepy day i took a nap too i need to vacumn my bedroom but im scared witht hem being in my closet if the noise will be to much on the babies >> someone told me to give her regular milk, do you >> think that is safe? email me back or either if you want email me at [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >you must have central a/c, I think for the room they are in, maybe just >keep the draft off of mom... this will reduce the wind chill factor, lol > i know so i have decided to keep all of them except one and she is going to > my step daughters moms house so i know that one will be taken care of, i > promised her one for her moms house so the rest i have decided to keep but > this is going to be her only litter as soon as she is done nursing im going > to have her spayed. im worried that we might be holding them to much though leave the kittens alone or the momma may abandon them. Children should not be holding kitten until they are at least 5 weeks old. > i cant wait to see them open their eyes and start walking around the house. i > put extra sheets in the closet and being its upstairs it is a little bit [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > her food and fresh water. someone told me to give her regular milk, do you > think that is safe? no. Feed her kitten food and high-protein good quality cat food. -L. |
