A watchful eye will not pay for all the things a mother cat and kittens needs. The vaccinations alone will run to £60 ($100) per kitten.Quote:

Nor will watching this mum cat bleed, help her heal. :(
Poor mum cat and kittens :(
well im gonna post this! I said I have no job, but my cats get fed very well.. My parents buy 2 kinds of dry food and 2 kinds of wet food for her.....she never goes hungry! Yes...I do have a car...my mom and dad pay the insurance, gas, payment, and repairs on it! One time my cat Roger Franklin was sick, we called the vet, he said bring him in, so we did! We have called the vet 3 or 4 times about Jolly and each time he said no dont bring her in, therefor I am going to take his advice! We have used him for MANY years with our animals, and he has done a wonderful job! Nothing is wrong with Jolly, it was completely normal for her to leak blood, my friend Amanda had a cat that had a litter of kittens, and she laughed at me when I said I was worried about my Jolly b/c she was leaking blood, I have asked around and apparently most cats leak blood after they have babys! My dad is a dr, but aside from his regular job, he breeds dogs, he said yes...all animals are gonna leak blood, just like humans! So no, dont call me ignorant or anything else, I have asked around and got everyones opinion! Jolly is fine! I dont care what anyone thinks about me! I am NOT spoiled, and im not ignorant! So say what ya want....I could really care less!:D
THERES NOTHING FREAKIN WRONG WITH MOM CAT OR THE KITTENS, I DONT HAVE A JOB, BUT MY PARENTS DO...MY DADS A DR, AND MY MOMS A NURSE.......WERE NOT STRESSED FOR FREAKIN MONEY, OK? CAN I SAY IT ANY LOUDER?
Not spoiled you say?
Mommy & daddy pay for everything & you are old enough for a job.
Sounds more than spoiled to me. I've been working since I was 13, paying for everything myself. I had to pay my parents rent to live in their house when I was still in high school, since age 15!
And a few posts back you said papow was on his way to the vet with the cat, now you didn't even go?
Me thinks something is rotten in some place! I thought money wasn't any sort of object? After all, your mom is a nurse, and your father is a doctor. I guess they don't live together, since according to your other thread, each of them are adopting a kitten of Jolly's, along with your fiance, right?Quote:

I could call a vet, but he would charge like 3 times extra 2 come in on the weekend...so im at least trying 2 wait till Monday
The problem with story telling is that unless you keep totally on top of the yarns you spin, you eventually get trapped in them.
If your father is a doctor, and your mother a nurse, seems to me either of them would have been the first ones to turn to about bleeding after delivery, not an internet site! You posted twice, in a pleading way....I guess your parents were busy, and never sat down with you and explained the birthing process. Surely, as medical professionals, they knew all this all along, and you didn't need to bother your 'pawpo' about all this. Right? Right?
Cataholic hit the nail right on the head.
She also mentione MULTIPLE times about the lack of money. Well now all of a sudden mommy & daddy pay for everything & money is not an issue. Well it was an issue just yesterday!!!!
let me refrase this....My MOM is a nurse...and my STEP dad is a Dr...sorry for not putting the step in there! My real dad is taking a kitten to! The reason I dont have a job, is NO TIME! I am a varsity cheerleader for my highschool & play softball! During Aug-Dec I go to school from 8-3, and then have practice from 3-6...and during Feb-May same......, not 2 mention I have the stress of being south Arkansas Vice President of FCCLA! I am 2 busy 2 have a job! So once again, get your nose, outta my business, quit making assumptions, and learn the facts 1st! Say im spoiled whatever, I just am lucky 2 have the kind of family I have.... My mom would rather me be a cheerleder and play sports than to send me out to work, when im in school anyways! She cares 2 much about me 2 do that! Now when I turn 18, I have a secured job at the hospital waiting on me, where my mom,dad...wait STEP dad, and brother all work! My brothers never had jobs in high school, they played sports, and also had vehicles mom and dad payed for! I asked a question about my cat, I didnt want u coming on here telling me im spoiled & all that kind of bullcrap!
if something is truly wrong with my cat, I will take it to the vet! I DONT HAVE A JOB, MY MOM AND DAD DO! THEY PAY FOR IT, NOT ME! Them making a car payment, insurance, giving me gas money....that totals up to about 700 a month.....I dont like to just ask and ask and keep asking, now if she was really sick, then we would take her, but not since shes doing fine! Get my point now? Its my moms money, not mine! She works, and earns it, I dont!...........I dont wanna just keep asking and asking and asking when its not necessary!
Good Grief this thread has turned into something I never imagined, firstly I just have to say a lot of comments were made to you out of pure concern from people who really do have a wealth of knowledge, way beyond my own, and that is something you should respect.
Secondly as this if your first experience with PT and not what I would call exactly welcoming one, you will indeed think it a bad place to be, but please listen to me when I say it is a wonderful place.
I don't think it was necessary for anyone to personally attack this young lady, I don't feel it is my place to judge her life and make comments, I do not know her at all.
I think her cat and kittens sound like they are in good hands, there are many who do not have the love and care that they obviously have, and one should keep that in mind, there is money to take care of them all, and I would imagine the new owners of each kitten will be responsible enough to have all their vaccinations etc done.
I think everyone has been way to hard on this young lady, and reading between the lines far too much, I am prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt, call me gullible if you like, but I believe she is a responsible girl who will make sure Jolly and her babies are well taken care of,that is merely my opinion., when i think of some of the situations some cats are in, I think they are blessed in comparison.
I don't agree with breeding either, and it would have been better just to have her spayed in the beginning, however the two main things are that she is now going to be spayed and the kittens all have homes according to our poster.
For those who think she is immature because she is so defensive, I tend to disagree, I have seen many a mature adult react the same way here when being personally attacked, it is just human nature if you ask me.
The only point you prove by shouting and using foul language is your total lack of respect for your elders and your complete lack of tact. I'd say more on that point but I think I'll keep the rest of my comments to myself because I'd be hypocrite if I didn't.
All I can say though is that you validate the epiphany I came to in high school about the majority of varsity cheerleaders.
I hope your momma cat and her kittens are healthy and happy although I think I speak for just about everyone when I say if don't want to face an answer you don't want to hear, don't ask the question. I know that there are some extremely knowledgeable people here in regards to proper kitten/momma cat care and I've noticed that the only people that have more knowledge are veterinary professionals. Realistically, if you genuinely want some good advice about the proper way to breed cats you have come to the right place. If all you want is to give good people a really bad attitude, then there’s the door.
Don't let it hit you on the way out.
And this isn't meant as a personal attack either. I gather the impression that all this poster wanted to do was cop an attitude even before other people got rude. It isnt right to get rude mind you but I understand why some people would get a little bit peeved.
And I apologise if I come off as a bit abrasive. I just don't like to see people get completely disrespected.
1. I have not used fowl language once.
2. Now your gonna judge me b/c I made the comment I was a cheerleader? Ok thats wrong!
I thank heavens that carole is at least on my side! You all have treated me like complete and total crap, and jumped on my case for anything and everything, made assumptions from the beginning been wrong about most, then made more to cover it up (i.e.. I dont have a car, which I do, and when I said I did, then that made me spoiled). Ok well I picked this cat up off the side of the road, I have given her the best home she could have had, I bought her a brand new bed that was $32, I bought her 2 collars, and purple one with a bow, and a pink fuzzy one, she has numerous outfits she can wear, I take such good care of this cat,....I love her more than anything in this world, in fact, my fiancee gets irritated b/c I pay her more attention than him sometimes! You all can sit here and call me whatever names u would lile, but if u stop and think about it....if it werent for me, she would not even be alive right now! Right now she is currently purring her little heart out b/c she is so happy, she has purred since the day I picked her up, thats why she is named Jolly! So make whatever assumptions u want, say im spoiled, but I have done my all for this cat, and will continue to, get off your high horse, and realize the facts! Sure I didnt go to a shelter and get her, but I saved her from a dog that was currently in the process of eating her, and brought her home and she has been my honey ever since!!!!
Is this really worth continuing fighting about?
If Jolly is ok, does any of this crap really matter now?
I agree, let us concentrate on hearing about Jolly and her babies, hopefully she will post some pics of the babies soon, now that I would like to see here.:)
I will put pictures up as soon as I can, I have to wait till I get the camera developed, so it will probibly be like next week sometime
I do agree that this is about Jolly and her babies. As I said before I didn't mean any disrespect.
I apologise, as I think you do deserve one because you do seem to care very much about your cat.
Just caring though isnt enough to ensure that the momma cat and kittens are healthy.
