Who wants to wait whilst my kittens are born!

I believe it's called getting as good as you give.

Charming.

Thank you. The kittens are adorable

We've had a lot of cat but this one has hit the hardest. Its been 5 years and I still don't like going in the kitchen late at night when we've put the other cats to bed as that is where she used to sleep.

We have two cats now which we ended up with by accident but I won't have any more after this I really can't cope with the grief anymore

Perhaps if the microchipping system didn't charge such an exorbitant fee to just change a tiny bit of information then it would get updated. I'm not coughing up £11.00 to tell you that my beloved cat has passed away. 3 years after she had gone I still could not do it and just sat there staring at the screen sobbing. I'm crying now as I miss her so much.

Thank you x

Hi OP
Your kittens are GORGEOUS. And well-done to your mama cat.
I am most definitely not digging at you here, as you seem like a lovely owner. However I have just taken on a rescue cat (3 weeks ago!). She is one year old and has already had her first litter. Her growth is stunted because her stupid previous owner didn’t get her spayed. She is honestly tiny, like a kitten herself. Not only that, but she and her kittens were parasite ridden and full of diarrhoea. That’s why the owner gave them to the shelter, as she couldn’t cope.
I’m now in the difficult situation of owning a cat who still has the runs - the Giardia presumably having come back (stool sample sent away so awaiting results) - and because it’s pre existing, I am not covered with insurance and am being hit with veterinary bills from the off.
I could honestly cry, as I’m picking up the pieces of shit pet ownership.
If I could go back, I’d never have taken her. But she’s here now and I’m powerless 🥰😄 Again, OP, this has nothing to do with you 💕 I guess I’m just thinking about the importance of spaying.
Best of luck with being a cat gran! 😁

My comprehensive skills?! You don’t like what you are being told which is why you are unable to answer my questions.

I am asking these questions as someone who works in the microchipping of animals industry and can see from records spanning across multiples databases how many cats are out there either unregistered or have out of date details.

I know how many calls I take from people whose cats are missing and also how many chips are registered to rescue accounts and how many are registered to stray accounts which are from cats who have been trapped, neutered and microchipped but the rescues are unable to keep them in rescues because they are feral and can’t be rehomed so all they can do is release them again but at least they are registered.

Yes I think you're right! When we had our kittens, I seemed to spend most of my time lifting them down from curtains by the time they got five or six weeks old 😂 But even though two of them went together to a friend and my mum had one, I still really missed them when they left. We kept the runt of the litter, who lived to be 22.

My assumptions are based correctly by the looks of it?! Did you have a health test mum and dad.. no! Did you so desperately need a litter from your cat… no!

The microchipping law.. did you know about this being the LAW!!! and are you going to be a responsible breeder of these cats and have them microchipped.. probably not because you will assume the new keepers will organise it.

you have now become one of the reason rescues have so many kittens and cats in their care.. so well done you backyard breeder.. well done.

I see you did not answer the rest of my questions which shows exactly what type of backyard breeder you are?!

Your vet openly encouraged breeding without any research into the health and lineage of the cats.. god please tell me the name as I hope I have never have to come across their services or their practice.

Also to add if you are UK based, the law for microchipping cats came in place in 2023 so you as the breeder should really be responsible and have the cats microchipped before rehoming to new keepers.

The new keepers may not bother and then there will be more cats not microchipped and out there in the world.. waiting to be trapped, neutered and chipped and handed into a rescue.

Just a tiny hint for you because I bet you didn’t read this beforehand but the law says it has to be done by the time the kittens are 20 weeks old! I imagine you would not want to be sending kittens into the world without being responsible for them and making sure they are protected as the breeder so I assume you will be organising this?

So you thought it was really impressive breeding your non purebred domestic cat to another non purebred domestic cat and then having the homes prearranged? Because you what love your cat and wanted her to have one litter?

other posters are right.. there is nothing magical or positive about this?! I bet you had no health or DNA tests done for mum or dad and I bet you aren’t gifting these little “miracles” sorry I mean moggies to their new keepers I bet you are selling them.. which means a nice hefty little increase near Christmas time.

Oh my, how will you ever be able to part with them?!

Pretty floof, love the one with the white splodge on it's head

Got more photos?

Is mum still doing well?
