This Mabel, our pregnant foster cat. We’re not entirely sure when she’s due, but she’s doing A LOT of sleeping and we can see the babies moving around.

I’ll keep you updated!!

Aww she is gorgeous. But she doesn't look very big. My male cat has a bigger tummy than Mabel. Confused Bless her heart. Such cute photos. Looking forward to kitten photos Grin

Gorgeous!

Has the vet said how pregnant she is and when babies are likely to come? Agree she doesn't look very big- but that might be the was she's lying down!

Thanks all! She has been nesting today, and a bit grumpy, bless her! Hoping it won’t be too long for her.

OP - I now have an ear worm of 'Hello Mable' by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, and I've been singing it all day. Sad
(And yes, I know I'm showing my age).

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats I’m afraid I am 25 and had absolutely no idea what you were taking about, BUT we’ve just looked it up on YouTube and we are DEFINITELY going to sing it to her now! Grin

Being on lock down with a litter of kittens would be my idea of heaven. Are you allowed petting access to that silky belly OP, not sure I could resist.

Report
BurntOut1 · 08/04/2020 22:07

Current state of affairs - surrounded by her shredded paper she’s been using for nesting!!

Petting access to the belly is allowed for very short periods only!

You are very privileged to have belly access.
If I tried that I would lose a hand

Quite right too, she doesn’t want you getting any ideas.

She’s only known you 5 minutes.
