Hi all, I have a 7 month old kitten who’s due to give birth imminently. I have never been in this position before so am slightly shitting it! I think I have everything set up (as well as it could be given the circumstances). She’s been acting quite odd today, incredibly affectionate, needy and has been continuously scratching in her litter tray. She was ‘humping’ my jumper earlier and is now in a deep slumber on it. We don’t know when she was impregnated but we had an ultrasound at the vets 3 weeks on Thursday, where they said it would be 2 weeks max. I’m just incredibly worried because she is so tiny and baby belly is huge. I think I’m just looking for reassurance and possibly some uplifting cat pregnancy/birth stories. Thanks guys

Gorgeous mummy and babies!
Looks like mum is a ginger girl( we have had 2 over the years)
Well done you for looking after them.

Awww... just here for the pics.
So many Ginger queens on MN recently.

@lljkk They're quite rare as I believe? I've found bloody great homes for 4 of them so looking like there'll be two new permanent members of my he family! ❤️

I've always wanted a ginger.... had a fair few torties, tabbies and blacks but never managed to get a ginger - went to see one once, but it turned out to be another tortie - of course we took her anyway. All kittens are adorable.

Enjoy your time with them ❤️

MDParks · 13/05/2023 19:36

@90stalgia We thought there were two tortoiseshells initially but now think that one is a black/grey tabby and the other is a ginger/black torty 🤗

Was he delivered last - he seems to have taken the back nipple?

@MDParks

If you post on the Litter Tray topic you;ll get loads more Cat related posters rather than "Pets" which is more general IYSWIM.

Mum Cat and the kittens are gorgeous and the birth hopefully went smooth but she'll need loads of looking after as she'll be ver' ver' busy and important , and little more than a kitten herself .

Loads on posters on Litter Tray very knowledgable with rescues, kittens and their care .
Tip , if I was you , put the relevant details about her being a pg rescue when you got her in the OP , or you;ll get short shrift ,

MDParks · 13/05/2023 19:43

@90stalgia Both of the black ones were actually first! And then the 4 Gingers followed xx

They might have a different dad from the gingers - that can happen!

They're gorgeous 😍 ❤️
