We have the most gorgeous little foster cat pregnant with 4/5 kittens. When she came on Friday I thought she was the most pregnant looking thing I'd ever seen in my life (and I work with pregnant women) and that she must be about to give birth but no sign yet.
She's very relaxed in our spare room and is still eating loads and using the litter tray, we got excited last night because she was licking herself but it appears that was just a bath. She is MASSIVE poor thing.

Let's have a pool. When do you think she'll give birth?

We've given her our entire spare room, we've got three boxes with towels and blankets, two futon cushions and lots of towels. She's not looked at any of them and seems determined to get into our blanket chest lol x

I'm not sure if we get to pick names no one has said, I think I'm going to just name than before anyone else can.

Are you absolutely certain it's only 4 or 5 kits?

Our farm cat growing up had nine kittens bless her, sadly they didn't all survive. She does look rather rotund.

Well to be honest I'm just going off what I was told by the cats protection coordinator who gave her to us. She had a scan last week to check her kittens were ok as she was so malnourished and so young, apparently the vet said then it was 4 or 5 kittens she could see but that's second had information.

4 or 5 'she could see'. Harrumph.

At that size, I wouldn't be surprised by 7 or 8.

I dunno she's still not showing any signs of queening. She is eating like a horse and is very irritated that we are keeping her on her own, she still desperate for hugs. She's irritable but gosh wouldn't you be.
