Oreo's pregnant, for real this time. I figure she's due in about 4 weeks as I'm guessing she's 5 weeks along. I would really appreciate some websites on how to care for the kittens and Oreo during and after the pregnancy. I can't believe how big she's gotten in such a short amount of time. We are going to spay her after words... how long after the kittens are born can we spay her? We might keep a male kitten and nueter him. Advice would be appreciated... please don't criticize me, I had no control over spaying her earlier. I'm just a very worried momma.

Has Oreo been examined by a vet since becoming pregnant? If not, that should be number 1 on your to do list. It's just to make sure she and the babies are all okay and to minimize any risk of complications or problems. Your vet is your best source for information. Your vet will know where things are with Oreo, may be able to tell you around when the babies will be born, what to expect, and what to do (as well as what not to do) during and after the birth. There are also several experienced and knowledgeable folks here at PT that really know what they're talking about when it comes to cats. For right now, the very best thing you can do for sweet Oreo is get her to a vet ASAP if she hasn't been checked during her pregnancy. It will also be the perfect time to discuss spaying with your vet.

Thanks for the reply. I will ask my dad about bringing her to the vet. I doubt he'll say yes, although, I think I can confince (sp?) him.

Your Library should have several Good Books on Kitten Care.
Also you can check out catfancy.com.
Or Kirstens Excellent Site on Cats
Good Luck with The Momma Cat and Kittens.

Thanks for the website.

I was also wondering, do you think she will pick outside for her place to have the kittens? I really hope not. Now that it's warm out the chickens and ducks are mainly outside except at night when they are in the barn.
