Cat just had kitten help

Please don't flame me I'm here for advice.

My 'house' cat has just given birth to 1 kitten, I did not know she was expecting, no real weight gain and she is a longhair so has disguised this well. The 1s

Oh look. There’s my kitten. And my kitten. And how about that, there’s my kitten too!

Teenagehorrorbag · 10/08/2023 21:03

So adorable.......(I'd add lots of heart emojis if I knew how). xx

BruceAndNosh · 10/08/2023 21:08

I'm confused. Are there 2 sets of kittens?

No? It’s one litter. It’s possible they could have two different fathers though. Cats can conceive different litters at the same time.

@Teenagehorrorbag , you can also use [ followed by a letter then pick from the selection

Smile oh yes I see! (Mumsnet used to show a list of emojis at the end so I knew [ smile ] and a couple of others, but it threw me when they stopped. Many thanks)!

You are more than welcome 🐱

I am impressed that any of you managed to live with unneutered female cats. One of mine came into heat before I could get her neutered (fucking COVID), the noise she used to make calling "all the boys to her yard" It drove me nuts!

Also, gorgeous kittens! I want them all. I am jealous, although the sensible boring 1% of me is tutting and saying that I have enough cats.

They’re very cute of course.

But poor cat, she’s already been got rid of by one owner and now this. I’d be giving my daughter a bollocking for not telling me and being completely irresponsible. How do you forget that an unspayed house cat got out? If you had known she could have been spayed after getting out and had an early abortion.

I hope you can find them forever homes that actually are forever. Everyone wants a kitten or a cat for a while, not so much an older cat, as this mum cat already found out.

Goodness me, that's a judgemental post. The OP is clearly reacting well. It was the vet who had said the spay can wait. It was OP's DD who accidentally let the cat out.
Poor cat?! Sounds to me like she has a very loving caring Human looking after her.

Can I have it??

Moriquendi · 14/08/2023 13:24

So cute!!!! Cats are just the best 🥰🥰🥰

Madcats · 14/08/2023 13:38

I'm late to this thread, but congratulations. Many years ago we agreed to look after a family member's cat between their house move and four kittens arrived about 4 weeks later!

Once they were mobile the kittens were crazily hyper! OP work on the basis that they will climb anything and everything (buy cheap curtains!).

IcakethereforeIam · 14/08/2023 13:41

While they're small they can climb anything, including wallpaper.

ludicrouslycapaciousbags · 15/08/2023 16:57

Look at those faces 😻

So much more alert the last couple of days and I'm sure they are responding to my voice 😂

The mother is very pretty. I'm tempted to let DCat have kittens but suspect I'd end up with 4 cats. One is enough.

SoCentralRain · 15/08/2023 19:07

Yes, Mum is very pretty no wonder the tiny ones are beautiful too. Wonder who the dad is?
