Uppiedate - I'm STILL pregnant & Connor is hurt again

**Cataholic** · 03-03-2006, 09:00 AM

STILL pregnant?

Of course, I have no other labour to consider, but, Jonah was induced, and I didn't think I had much worse of a time than others that I know went naturally. AND, my epidural didn't really take. So, don't stress about the induction. I think the bun needs to come out of the oven, and get some photos taken.

As to Ally and Connor. Shoot. I can't add much. I can't say that I can see Ally going over the the baby and biting her, at least for now. When the baby is up and around? I guess, but now? No. I would investigate a crib tent, for everyone's welfare. The cats (well, the 'normal' ones, anyhow) stayed so far from Jonah. Monte and Allie wanted to sit next to him, but, all others stayed (and stay) their distance.

I know the pains of separating two cats, as I have that with Georgie and Monte. I would prefer to rehome Monte AND Gus (as they are friends), then go through the lengths of keeping Monte from Geo. You ship me one of yours, and I will send two of mine!

Julie, good luck with the birth!

Question - has Ally always been like this, or is it recent?

Julie,

Sick of people asking, "Are you still here???? Is that baby ever going to come out?" Well, don't fret. If they induce, say the "E" word VERY LOUDLY!!!

EPIDURAL!!

Remember, pharmaceuticals are your friends in times like that.

Oh, Julie, hang in there! "Due dates" are such guess work anyway ...
Perhaps if it comes down to it, you can find some lonely old person to take one of your cats. Poor Connor! What a big ouch!

Sound soooooooooo familiar to me! Hope all goes well with you and by the time I get back here on Tuesday we have a new PTer!!

Thanks for being here for me, my friends!

Catty1, to answer your question re Ally - she was an only cat for 3 years, and I only found out after I had adopted Connor that (1) Connor is deaf, which causes loads of communication issues between them and (2) Ally is very territorial and would be much happier as an only cat.

Johanna - In the short term I don't think it will be an issue - the baby and the kitties will have very little interaction until we start to spend time in the kitchen when the baby goes onto solids. I am very concered that sooner or later Ally will bite the baby - it's unfortunately just her nature.

Maybe I should look into getting some medicine to calm her down, and get it compounded and sent out from the states? (She is impossible to pill).

Donna - I am hoping for a natural birth, but the longer I wait the less brave I feel!!! I may opt for the Epidural if I am not handling the pain well!

Julie, I'm so sorry to hear about Connor

and I hope that he and Ally will be able to work out their problems and live in peace. I hope that your labor will be an easy one and that your little girl be healthy. Good luck.
