hope everything goes well, 7/8 months is very young for a kitten (which she is) to have babies, keep and extra eye on her as much as you can.

Glad to hear everything seems good. I have had an experience of a very young cat having kittens (younger than yours) and she was the perfect mother! So do let it worry you, just keep a close eye on her.

Is it possible you got the due date wrong hun?

Did the vet give you any clue if the kittens are alive? X-rays won't tell if the kittens are alive or not, just if they're there or not.

I'm glad she's doing well though and I hope everything turns out for the best.

Hi all. Didn't notice the new posts till just now. I don't think I got the due date wrong because we brought her in the house for good on June 7th and I'm sure she has not been out since. So, the day she got pregnant is actually before then, but I was using June 7 as a reference. Unless a cat can mate and it takes a while to "take"? I know that sounds stupid, but I really know nothing about this and you can only find so much info online.

As far as her age goes, I didn't mate her - I adopted her to help her. I thought the vet was crazy when he said she was 1 1/2 years - I knew she was much younger than that. Her age is a big reason why I'm so nervous. As for the xray at the vet yesterday, afterwards I was thinking the same thing - why an xray? After this whole experience, what I've learned is that I have to find a new vet office. I said ok to the xray because I wasn't thinking straight from worry - the vet shouldn't have taken advantage of that...

When I spoke to the vet yesterday, he said he didn't hear heartbeats but everything was okl. I'm expecting stillborn kittens. I know that sounds gruesome, but I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst. That way if things turn out ok, I'll be happily surprised. I want these babies really bad. I'm keeping them all and can't wait to hold them and love them. Hopefully tonight will be the night.....

Thanks again everybody for all the kind words.....

Goodluck I hope everything turns out well for you & the kitties.

Don't be tempted to handle them too much at first, incase the mother cat rejects them

I hope you don't have to wait too much longer - it's really exciting when kittens are due x

I know, I promise I won't touch them in the beginning. I'm just so excited. I've never even seen newborns before. I hope they're alive. I've already lost 2 cats to sudden death situations and those were the worst days of my life. If these babies are not alive, I don't know how I'll handle it. I just want happy, healthy babies to join our family. Me, my husband, and nine (maybe) ten kitties - the purrrrfect family!!!

Awww hunni so excited for you!
Please update us with the progress and when little ones arrive.

I just have to say thank you to all of you. You're a real great bunch. To be so supportive of someone you don't even know is so cool. I'm gonna stay with this site after my babies are born and even though I'm not a breeder, maybe by me going through this experience, I can help someone else someday. Just by answering my questions, you all put my mind to ease - which is huge to me right now. You all brought up issues I hadn't even thought of, which has also been a tremendous help. So, again, thank you!!!
