Little Mama kitty had her babies. :( #11 post

the best time to spay is once the kittens weaned about 4 weeks

We had several days of rain, one of which was exceptionally bad and Mama Kitty hasn't been seen in days. I keep checking my shed and elsewhere but she just isn't around. She was quite heavy w/kittens so I'm fearful that she might not be in a safe place. She was so hungry when she appeared last time that as I was spooning out the food, she was catching it mid-air, poor girl. I pray that she and her kittens, if she's delivered, are safe and healthy.

Prayers that she is safe and she comes home to you to have her kittens, Mary.

God bless, and love ,
Pat and cats

Prayers that mama cat is just staying close to her babies now & comes back to you for
her next feeding.

I saw her a little while ago. She was probably looking for food and I was on my way out to fill the dishes but when she saw me, she ran, which isn't like her at all. She's super friendly and loves me. She ran so fast that I wasn't able to tell whether or not she's still pregnant.

At least you saw her! .. so she's not far away. Continuing prayers that she will come home to you and have her kittens, or if they're already born you'll find them shortly and bring them home too.

However, I have no idea where they are. I've looked everywhere. She just magically showed up as she always does, just sitting on my patio and looking in the sliding glass door. She's noticeably thinner but heavy w/milk again. I thought that I would follow her to see if she would lead me to her kittens but she outwaited me. Then as soon as I went indoors, she took off. She must belong to someone in the neighborhood who clearly does not care how often she gets pregnant. They must sell or give away the kittens b/c when she was pregnant last time, I never did see any of them. I want to have her spayed but she's nursing now. I know that, as Karen stated, she can be spayed a week after giving birth but on the chance that her kittens aren't being taken care of, I don't want to have her spayed b/c her kittens will starve. I have just GOT to break this cycle! She's too young and too tiny to keep having babies.
