Underweight pregnant queen

[allmycats]

that is a wonderful you did. I wish I could do more, maybe soon.

maybe feliway will help her stay calm, a little ?
do you have home lined up for when the kittens are old enough?

you are a good person for taking in a mom-to-be!

Thanks for taking in this beautiful girl in need. I hope that everything will go well with the birth of her kittens. Please continue to keep us updated.

Well, Pretty Mama is still doing well She's still eating well, and is gaining weight; so are her babies Her tummy has already gone from a flat onion shape to a more rounded onion shape. She loves to be petted, but I think picking her up makes her uncomfortable. Oh, she is also an ankle twirler We think she might be mute. Can cats be mutes? She'll look at us, open her mouth, and all you hear is a small breath sound. She doesn't wheeze or cough, and her breathing is not labored. She looks like she's meowing, but no sound comes out. We'll keep you updated as things progress

I don't think she's mute. One way to find out is stand behind her and clap your hands. If she is startled,then she's not mute. Some cats have a very soft, quiet meow. So soft you can barely hear it.

I'm so glad you've taken her in. She needs a caring human being that will love her and take care of her when she needs you most.

What a gorgeous little thing she is! Thank you so much for taking care of her. I'm sure her little ones will be just as beautiful as she is.

Love, Columbine

That's a test for deafness, Donna, not whether or not they can meow.

Sorry Donna Medusa is right I have one that is completly deaf ( Precious) and one partcial (Lenny) both with blow your ear drums with thier meow. Chessie hears very well and has a meow that you have too be next too his mouth to hear.

Awee she is a beauty.. Yes you may feed her Kitten Replacement Milk for extra nutreints.. Only feed the kitten can milk ok.. God Bless you for getting her & taking care of her & the babies to come.. Just watch her close..

Well, all the kitten food and KMR are obviously doing the trick. Mama and babies are definately putting on weight. She's slowed down on her eating a little. She'll stop eating for a short moment, but only for pettins'

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

What a "big" tummy!! Lots of kittens in there, ready to be born!! Cannot wait to see the babypics

[freckledimple]

Well, Pretty Mama is still waiting for her babies to arrive Seems they like where they are for now I was giving her some good pettin's yesterday, and when she let me look at her tummy, I saw a couple of fleas skitter off into thicker fur She's not covered in them, but we don't want it to turn into a problem. We sprayed Raid carpet tretment outside the bathroom door when she first got here, but didn't bathe or flea treat her because we didn't see any fleas, then. What would be safe, and low stress, to treat her fleas with. We'd like to have this taken care of before she gives birth, so the babies don't get fleas as well. Thank you.
