Apologies Emily and Fiona - I shall go back and correct my post to give the right person credit and apologies to both of you. Must put my glasses on when I type replies ...

Hi SavannahKitten - have visited your Savannah website. What beautiful creatures. Wholeheartedly agree with your words about keeping our darlings as indoor pets. I especially agree with this (excerpt from your page)

"The 'free rein' idea is an old Victorian idea, relegating our domestic cats to the levels of rodent hunters, rather than dear and cherished friends"

Absolutely right. We should indeed cherish them as our own family members.

Thank you also for the information about the potential risk concerning potential double pregnancy. In this case, I am reasonably confident that this will not happen as I know the pattern of calling and my queen's behaviour after having been mated as opposed to merely having her ears tickled. I have learnt something from your post for which I thank you. I shall now take care not to go and mate her the first time she calls after an attempted visit to the stud. However, from my past experience with her, (last year) she was mated successfully last year and did not have any half hearted calls. This year she behaved totally differently and it was clear to me that this call was a full blown, foot stamping, carpet rolling, call which was fast reaching its crescendo. Kiki can do a very good impression of a liner's foghorn when she is up for it. This is the sort of call she was having. I doubt if she was made pregnant three weeks ago but I shall still take on board what you say, as this phenomenon was not known to me before.

Thank you for taking the trouble to advise me. I am willing to listen to advice and I had taken the advice of two other stud owner/breeders. Out of caution and in the interest of my queens, in future, I shall allow more time to elapse before taking this particular queen to stud again.

No, Emily, not yet. I have written a little letter to ask how she is - perhaps when she receives it, I may be contacted by her when she is ready. For the time being, I shall let it rest - otherwise she may feel harrassed.

Raa i wouldn't worry too much about a double pregnancy given that 3 wks elapsed in between matings and she had a full blown call,chances are slim to noneLove the foghorn description-unfortunately that sounds about rightD
