original post Is my cat pregnant?

for the past week she has now been SCREAMING like crazy... started off with a few days of doing it at around 5 in the morning but not for long. it's now got to the point where it's pretty much all day every day and has been for a couple of days now

vet told us on 26th january she had 3 or less week to go... so on monday just past that would have been a full 3 weeks... she's got some signs of nearly being ready (if i've read up on this right) e.g. not really interested in her food anymore, one sachet plus biscuits seems to be all she will eat in a full day, drinking LOADS of water... extremely restless... she's got quite long hair so i can't see her nipples at all

obviously it's not her fault that she's screaming all through the day and night but it's causing a lot of tension in the house - i just wish i knew what was wrong with her. i've been up all night with her

think i might take her to the vet today?

yep, take her to the vets.

oh my!

just took her to the vet, it was a lady this time... she can't feel ANY kittens and says she's only put on 100 grams (excuse me if this is wrong, i think she said grams!) BUT she's barely been eating so to me that means there must be something

so they've kept her there and will do a scan some time before 1pm to confirm!

she must be pregnant though... otherwise why else would she stop eating her food, be drinking 3x the amount of water she usually does and be screaming all day and night and put on weight?

she's not pregnant!

which is a good thing for her as she's only young, still classed as a kitten herself

but i am fuming with the vet for telling me almost a month ago that she was pregnant and due in 3 weeks or less and would have a small litter!!

so she'll be getting booked in (elsewhere!!) to get spayed so that she can go outside and we don't have to worry about this happening again! so sounds like she's just calling then! and the weight thing will be the biscuits as we've been giving her loads recently because her adult teeth weren't developing

disappointed as got myself totally prepared for it, took her back off of adult food back onto only kitten food! for no reason!

what a pity and a refief - and good on you for getting her spayed now - silly vets! Did the first one do and ultrasound? I'd complain if I were you - unless she reaborbed them.

it was a lady vet that saw her today and she was baffled as the notes said that her colleague saw her 3 and a half weeks ago and said she had 3 or less weeks to go... but she couldn't feel a thing!

so she said she'd get her scanned... 30mins later get a call from the original vet telling me that she wasn't pregnant (he hadn't done a scan the first time round)

so i told them i wasn't paying for the appointment or scan and that i would be changing vets - fair enough if he had told me in the first place "she COULD be pregnant... or it could be this" but no he told me that she was and that it would be a small litter due in 3 or less weeks

in reality it's a good thing, just feels horrible after all the preparation! at least it's over with now though and we know not to look for kittens!

we also cancelled our trip to paris next week because i didn't want the kittens arriving when no one was home! i took this week off work for them coming
