Re: Is she in labour?
Hi Danielle
Unfortunately I can't see the pics. I'm blind, you see.
Have you given her cardboard boxes to nest in? I feel your pain, as I have a very needy pregnant girl at the moment who, if I'm out of her sight even for a minute, screams until she has no breath left in her. I've found it helpful to give her a cardboard box in each room and cut a hole in the front so that her access to and from it is easy, but she can still see me. I wouldn't let her be having kitten in a high place. Babies crawl, and will indeed fall off if you leave them there. Line the box with towels, then put her in and feed her some treats in there. Put the box close to you if she likes to be with you all the time, and make a huge fuss of her when she's in there.
I have two pens set up already, but my girl will only use the one in the bedroom at nicht because it's next to my bed and she knows that once I start snoring, i won't be going anywhere and she can relax. Still, the cardboard boxes are used during the day despite me coaxing her into the kittening pens on a regular basis. Really, you just need to go with what they want provided it won't pose a danger to the kittens.
I am indeed on FB, yes, and you'll be able to see pictures of my girl up there too. Carly Marno.., London. And for any spammers out there, firstly, I won't add you as a friend unless I know who you are, and secondly, London isn't really where I live. I'd not put where I live on FB.
Danielle, you can also call if you want more specific advice. If you do, drop me a message and I'll send you my number.
