A Phantom Pregnancy

chestnut · #1 (**permalink**) 24-06-2008, 05:50 PM

Hi all,

After a visit to the vets with Kida, our thoughts have been confirmed. A Phantom Pregnancy. Does anyone know how long it normally takes to come back into season. It has now been about 8 weeks.

The vet said that medication can be given but it is probably best to let it happen naturally.

Oh, no, what a shame. I think it just depends on the cat to be honest. Being summer.....well supposedly, lol.....hopefully it won't be long, fingers crossed for you

Hi

as Wendy says it does depend on the cat but really should be no longer than the normal length of pregnancy so she should be almost to an end of it now!

Fingers crossed she'll soon be back to 'normal' & the next mating will be sucessful!

I'm really pleased I went to the vets rather than waiting. 2nd time lucky, lets hope so. I will have to look at a different stud as the previous one has been moved on now. Although i am in no hurry, we will just wait until we have worked out her pattern again

If you used stud services don't forget you should be able to go back for a repeat mating - albeit a different stud.

Goodluck.

Yes, i'm sure everything will be ok, i have e-mailed our mentor who provided the stud, just waiting to hear from her.

I had to tell the children tonight that there was no kittens, they were gutted. But didn't quite understand what had happened, they just think all the babies had died. I feel really bad

Ahhh, bless, they don't get it do they. How old are they ?

I'm not sure what to say, as my children that would notice are old enough to understand!

Perhaps try 'the kitten fairy didn't come this time - maybe next time'
