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

[Malibu's Mom]

Ok - I think she might be close. She only ate a little of the wet food and really wants to get out of the room. She wanted to get into the cupboard so I set it up for her in case she wanted an alternative to the kennel, as the cupboard is more private. Could be another false alarm but I'm not sure.

Here she is in all her pregnant glory

Boy she is DEFINITELY pregnant. No way around that. I am a nervous wreck just checking in on this thread. I can't imagine what you are going through.

I just hope for a safe delivery and that all of them are healthy and you can find homes for them.

I hope that you're right and that when the time comes that everything will go smoothly. I'm sure you already this but here's a link that tells more about pregnancy in cats: http://www.best-cat-tips.com/cat_pregnancy.htm.

She looks as though she is going to explode! Wow. We should start a lottery. I think she's going to have them tomorrow.

Good luck. We are all like little worry warts here. I don't know if I could be so calm as you seem to be. I would be a mess.

Hugs to you for taking her in and caring for her. You are a sweetheart, for sure.

That she is.

The delayed birth giving her bonding time is good. Been an auntie for kits and pups and the mom changes personality when the babes are born. It's better if the mom knows you.

And sometimes the mom wants human help. I had to spend the night at my mom's when Molly had her second litter of pups because Molly wanted me to stay beside her the whole night. Crate Furniture Love Seats are NOT comfortable.

Anyway, make sure any small holes are covered so she can't hide them. That has been known to happen with felines.

And bless you for caring for her.

@Taz_Zoee - you should see her in RL. She looks like she swallowed a cantaloupe.

@krazyboutkatz - thank for for that link, I hadn't seen it yet I'll add it to my "pregnant cat" folder.

@sasvermont - too bad I'm broke or I'd seriously do that. Ok - I will put *username here* WAS RIGHT! in my signature to whoever guesses the closest date/hour. Deal?

And me, calm? Gee, I must come across totally different over the internet than I do in real life! I'm very worried about how things will go, but I have educated myself on what is and isn't normal and will do all I can to make sure everything goes alright.

@mrspunkysmom - yes, totally agree. I will respect her wishes if she doesn't want me to observe, but I'm hoping she'll be comfortable with me keeping an eye on her from afar, so I can make sure there aren't any difficulties.

I have had two kittens living in the bathroom before and they pretty much revealed the "weaknesses" in there. Cats can always outsmart you, but I'm pretty sure I covered my bases when I kitten proofed it. Thanks for the reminder

and THANK YOU to everyone! You guys are all too sweet.

I am sure she will have them soon, good luck with her and the little ones! I hope she has a smooth birth and all the babies are born healthy!

Okay, I'll take Tuesday morning! Just givin' her a little time, here. Since everyone else is naming an hour, 9:30 a.m.!
