A few weeks back a cat came to our house and didn't want to leave. We tried all the tricks to find an owner but nobody claimed her so we kept her. Little did we know, she was pregnant and is due in a week or maybe 2 according to the vet.
I forgot to ask about her going outside after the kittens are born. She's in full time at the moment as I don't want her giving birth outside. It's only been for the last week and she is already crying at the door to go out.

Obviously she isn't spayed so is it best to keep her in until the kittens are weaned?

Any other advice to newbies surrounding the whole birth and kittens thing?

I've been reading as much as possible but it's nice to hear from others who have actually experienced it.

Halo kittens. Have you names them yet?

I have 2 brothers from the same litter [from Cats Protection].
George and Albie.
Albie is the one that looks like your cat, OP.

Place marking for more pictures. Sorry! They're lovely. And I'm not a cat person.

My favourite thread of MN for a long while!

And I can tell DP that MN isn’t just a bunch of women hating on men (his opinion not mine).

Oh wow ! Only just spotted all recent activity in this thread !!! Reading has been a rollercoaster of emotions reading and seeing photos. They are all beautiful and you and you dh are stars.
I had a stray who gave birth to 5 in my home some time ago. This has brought back just how magical it all is !!!
Best thread - much needed.
Good luck op.

My phone is being weird and not letting me upload more. Just keeps freezing.
I will keep trying.
All babies are weaned now but still like a little of mum's milk occasionally.
Still waiting to take the mum to be neutered as the vets won't do it. She is doing fine as a house cat for now.

I'll take them all! COVID be damned. Logistics might be an issue.

EachandEveryone · 13/05/2020 20:38

How gorgeous. Did you say you are keeping them all?

GenghisCalm · 13/05/2020 20:59

Welcome back of warren, I hope you are feeling better. I have missed the pictures of the kittens.
