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

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

Only in the last couple of days...sort of!

Update! I wish I could upload videos because they're adorable. They've more than doubled in size and are now starting to walk, attempting to climb and play fight with each other ❤️

Made my day. And loving how much you’ve enjoyed the experience.

It's been a truly enlightening and magical experience for us all, we've loved every second...with the only caveat being; I had no idea a nursing queen shat so much. It's like a never cycle of poo 🤣🤣

Wow what amazing kittens who I imagine will be gorgeous cats. I can see why you would struggle to let any go.
I have a big fluffy ginger boy who is delightful.

It'll be a real struggle but I fear my husband may move out if we have 7 cats 🤣

If you say "Well , this is difficult , and I'm sure the cats and I will miss you" you'll need to put an onion in your hankie for the tears Wink

I'm not sure if anyone is still remotely interested but I'm slightly obsessed so I'm going to share my obsession 🤣 Today marks a milestone...we have removed the birthing box because they were climbing out and trying to run wild! They've been relocated and seem to be loving it. Mumma cat was slightly hesitant about the big move but appears to be adjusting!

@70isaLimitNotaTarget I agree. I shouldn't have to chose between the love of my life...and my husband 🤣 In all honesty, he's been great and he's definitely not a cat person! This is a conversation I had with him earlier...he's definitely taking it in the chin!

He wasn't really a kid person either but we managed to raise 4 of them 🤣 He's great, he just goes with the flow (with a little grumble here and there) SmileSmile

Oh very much still remotely interested. More from crazy cat lady please ...

This thread reminds me of when my cat had kittens when I was a kid. She was a small
ginger (not as young mind) and also had 6 babies.

Absolute carnage! They used to climb the floor to ceiling curtains and then get stuck at the top! We used to spend ages unhooking them all 🤣.

Also,when they were really small Mumma car would pick them up one by one and put them in my parent’s bed in the night,they were so worried about squashing them

RichardsGear · 04/06/2023 00:55

They are just scrumptious.
What a lovely memory to have Babs.

Hi all! We are now nearly 5 weeks in and I can confidently say they are all monsters...but the cutest fucking monsters you'll ever see. They're terrorising me constantly and I'm paranoid about them hurting themselves because they're into everything!
