Ye gods, my cats gone and got herself knocked up

Confused

She's a beautiful pure breed birman. We've had her just over a year. We bought her off a family member who has bred birmans for years and she was from the last litter ever. She was the only girl and we had decided with them that we would keep her for breeding possibly one litter (family member shows cats all over the country). Hence why she hasn't been spayed.

She started calling in June and we kept her in for a week. She stopped calling and everything seemed fine, we let her back out again. Around this time I took her to the vet as she seemed off her food, vet gave me some overrid? to stop her ovulating as ideally we didn't want her having a littler until she was older.

Last week she seemed to suddenly explode, checked her nipples and yep pink and huge. She's bloody pregnant! I don't think she got pregnant in June as she would have had them by now. So no signs of calling and the overrid doesn't seem to have worked.

Except now I have no idea how far along she is! She's pretty big, very big pink nipples and I can feel the kittens moving around inside her so I don't think she's got very long to go.

Family friend is away for a month so is no help. What do I do?! Does she need to go to the vet? I've been reading up and it all seems straightforward but it's a pain not knowing when exactly she's due.

I've got her a nice box and old blankets for the birth, is there anything else I need to do?

Can puppy litters have 2 dads? Didn't know that I knew cats could not dogs

Vinorosso74 · 19/09/2016 13:10

Oh wow, I've been keeping up with this all morning. Well done mum!

GobblersKnob · 19/09/2016 13:11

Wow they are huge, maybe if she just has two you could keep them both? Wink

Absolute stop outsGrin

cozietoesie · 19/09/2016 13:18

Watch her like a hawk, Malody. No 'nipping out' for example. You don't need a second litter coming along unplanned. Wink

ThomasRichard · 19/09/2016 13:19

Gorgeous.

MalodyandJim · 19/09/2016 13:27

Ah I knew she wasn't finished!

Bet you this is the runt

cozietoesie · 19/09/2016 13:31

Three for a first litter would be quite normal, I think - even big as they are.

cinders15 · 19/09/2016 13:33

Aw! Absolutely beautiful!

FanSpamTastic · 19/09/2016 13:50
