The only time she's been out since was in the carrier to go to the vet. It's a busy street out there, so we're very careful not to let anyone slip out the door.

This might be a stupid question, but since I read it can take 24 to 48 hours after mating to catch, does that mean you count from catching or from mating? Say she mated on the 13th, but really didn't catch till the 15th, should we loosely calculate from the 15th? Obviously, we still don't know anything more, but I was a little curious in general.
