hi there, i have a very heavily pregnant cat (izzy) she got pregnant around 10/04/2011 to 14/04/2011 so kitten's should be due round about now but there is no sign yet? should i be panicking i can still see kitten's moving about so should i just wait and let naturetake it's course or do i go to the vet's?

If she conceived on the 14th, they wouldn't be due until tomorrow anyway if she carries them exactly 65 days. Is the mum showing any signs of going into labour? I'd leave her to it another few days and just keep a close eye. She couldn't have gotten pregnnat at a later date, could she? Either way I wouldn't be worried at this point. As long as you can see movement and she isn't over 70 days everything should be fine.

izzy went missing with the local gigalo on the 10/04/2011 and i got her back on the 13/04/2011 then my male persian who i had planned to breed with izzy anyway got her so i have no idea who the daddy is but i know that my tom got her on the 14/04/2011 he was only 7 month's at the time izzy is just a little older at 12 month's so wasn't planning to breed till next year but, they had different plans i do know that my tom only got her the once because i definatley kept them apart after that,she is not showing any sign's of labour, no nesting no milk absolutely nothing she isn't off her food or even going to her whelping box, she just look's like she is going to explode

They often go over. She's due, yes, but not overdue yet. If she reaches 70 days then it's time to worry but not at this stage.

thanx liz your advise is well recieved i have so much to learn tahnx again mandy

are both parents registered on active and PKD tested? 11months isnt too young & the research should have been done before buying them.

if she 'escaped' then the litter could have 5dads, you will have no idea, so you cant register them or sell them as pedigrees, you can DNA test the entire litter & your boy. Before you let her mate your boy you will now have to have her tested for fiv/felv/herpes/chlamdiya/calci virus as she can catch all of these from the many cats she will have mated.

remember that owning a stud you will need about 4 + girls to keep him happy and he will start to spray / poop / call for girls, same as girls they do it to. you have had alot of time to be prepared so Id start now you dont have long!

milk doesnt come in un til after the birth most of the time and they normally eat up until they have the babies and during and after! so that dosent mean anything about signs that she is going to have them soon.
