Preggo kitty wandered onto my porch! *started a new thread*

Sophia is still pregnant. I've been trying to spend all the good quality time with her I can because I know she'll be constantly busy with the kittens for a good while.

Come on Miss Sophia, we are waiting to meet your little ones! I remember when my Annabelle was extremely pregnant (I rescued her in that condition) she was a mess. She would use her bed for a litter box and other strange things. I think this was her first (and last!) and she didn't know what was happening to her. I even took her back to the vet thinking there was something wrong with her. I helped her deliver each one and helped clean them up for her. She had 7 babies! Only 5 were live births. Each one was beautiful like their mama. One of the hardest things to do was to let them go to new homes when they were old enough! Annabelle is our show cat, not literally, but she is a raving beauty!
Can't wait to see Sophia's babies! Glad you're giving her extra lovins' She's a lucky girl!

I think she's going to take her sweet time with these kittens. LOL.

Miss Sophia is a bit like your Annabelle was. I have the litterbox in a dog kennel that is lined with puppy pads so I can just toss those out when she misses the litterbox. She does seem to understand the concept of using it pretty well, but most of the pregnant cats I've cleaned up after seem to have aiming issues, probably due to their drastically increased girth.

7 kittens... I really hope Soph's litter is much smaller! So sorry about the stillborns, that is a part I am dreading. But glad that you were able to find your beautiful litter of kittens homes, no matter how hard it was. That is also a part I am dreading!

And hey - Anabelle might just like being a "real" show cat... you never know 'til you try it! I am always trying to encourage people to enter their cats in shows as Household Pets because I love to demonstrate that there are beautiful, loving, unique cats on the street & in shelters, too.

No kittens, but some new Sophia pics!

Her ulcerated eye is much better. She keeps it open normally 90% of the time. The reason she's squinty in some of the pics is because of the flash. You can definitely see the ulcer in the photos though.

"Can I stop being pregnant now? Pretty please?"


A good shot of the ulcer


Belly shot


See - she's not always super squinty!


and I'm going to sneak in a Buddy pic from one of our recent walks. Isn't he handsome?

At first I thought that Sophia had her kittens. She sure is a pretty girl and will hopefully have them soon. Buddy is so handsome. As you probably already know, I'm a huge orangie fan.

Sorry to get your hopes up!! I know every time I wake up in the morning I get excited and want to go see if she had them during the night. I'm trying to be patient but it's hard.

Thank you. I love orangies as well. How could you not?

How can you not love an orangey? C'mon!
