Advice please! Cat close to birth?

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

Kitten update! We had a vet check today and their all thriving. Mumma cat is doing an amazing job. Their eyes are starting to open and they're just bloody gorgeous ❤️

I do love a ginger cat. They are all gorgeous though.

I can't even cope with how cute they are 😭

This thread is giving me all the joy, I get so excited when I get notified that there's an update OP!! 😹😻😽😺

Me either. I'm going to seriously struggle to let any of them go. I seem to spend half of my life just watching them at the moment so I'll need to take up a new hobby!

Aww I don't blame you! Are the ones being rehomed going to people you know? Hopefully, so you can stay in touch 🥰

RichardsGear · 22/05/2023 16:06

Aren't you going to keep at least one? 😉

lljkk · 22/05/2023 19:11

is that sex imbalance typical, 5 boys & 1 girl? Who knows.

They're all going to people I know, love and trust! Mostly because I'm going to need continuous updates and daily pictures 🤣

We've made a family decision to keep two but I'm now thinking possibly three 🤷‍♀️ I need reigning in 🤣

So, we made another trip to the vets today because I was slightly worried about the smallest one ( I'm an obsessive worrier ) and I thought it would be prudent to just get them all checked again 😬🤷‍♀️ Turns out there are 4 boys and 2 girls! All of the gingers are definitely boys and the torties are girls x

What a gorgeous gorgeous thread and thanks so much for the kittentastic gratuitous photos.
Your teenage mom is thriving in your care. She is a beauty.

Our ginger queen was a teen mom too before we adopted her and lost both her kittens we are told. She looks just like your beautiful girl.

EmotionalSupportWyrm · 23/05/2023 22:48

I've always wanted a ginger cat, had a fair few torties over the years but never managed to get a ginger...... very jealous!

She's done so well, I'm in awe of her! In the space of just under 6 weeks, she's been introduced to a totally new home and given birth to 6 insanely lovely babies. I've managed to do 5 babies over a 30 year period and that was a bloody stretch 🤣

We had a ginger when I was very little bit it was male. I've always been a black cat kind of person but it's safe to say I've been turned!

They are just lovely! Which ones are you keeping?

RichardsGear · 24/05/2023 19:06

In fact, can you even tell the ginger ones apart? 😆

All of them if I had my way 🤣 Honestly, I have no idea. We're a large household and are outnumbered by our teenagers so who bloody knows!
