Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

Goodness!

Either she's got about 20 in there, or they're all lying sideways!

Jokes aside, it does look like there's going to be a big litter. Is this her first?

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

I keep saying she's got 36 in there lolol , it is her fist litter and i cant get over the size of her and its not that she is just fat its all kittens , when i stroke her i can feel each bulge along her side if you know what i mean , she started showing properly around 4 weeks and she is just getting bigger every day so much so that she's now getting clumsy when she's trying to jump up on things .
When we picked her up from the stud he had a queen that was due 5 days later and she had 4 kittens and was no where near as big as my girl is now so i dread to think how many she has in there .

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

I do know what you mean. It's quite something, isn't it?

I wouldn't dare to hazard a guess, but as there's no reference to go by that she might just be carrying big, I'd have everything and everyone on standby for birth and kitten rearing. I'm sure you must be watching her like a hawk at this point.

She looks absolutely lovely. What colour is she under the white, do you know? I can't see if her eyes are blue or green, but I'm assuming she's blue-eyed? And what colour was the stud? In other words, what kind of kittens will be making their appearance in the kitten army she's planning to have in 14-16 days?

Do you have a website?

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

she is blue eyed , and she is mated to a seal point .

her background is sire = choc point , dam = foreign white
her fathers parents are both choc points and their parents are seal point , choc point and caramel point .

The stud toms parents are as follows , sire = oriental red his parents are seal point and oriental lilac tortie
his mother is oriental havana and her parents are oriental black and choc point

further down the line my girl has mainly foreign whites and lilac point, choc point and seal point
Further down the studs line are all orientals including lilac , blue tortie , fawn , cream and black .

So im thinking we might get a dolly mixture of colours , im not great on genetics so im just guessing . What doi you think ?

I dont have a website , im a bit of a technophobe lol

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

I'll do a full 'work-up' shortly. Just as a matter of interest, what colours are your queen's mother's parents? Are those the whites and lilacs?

Wow she is huge! I can't wait to see how many she has, been following her story since you took her to the stud!

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

And last question, I promise. What colour was mom under the white, do you know? Was she chocolate or lilac? (ie: do you know what colour the other kittens in your queen's litter were?)

Re: Only 2 weeks to go :-)

On second thought, it won't help much if the chocolate point she was mated to wasn't carrying dilute, so I'll just give you both scenarios.
