    Default kittens...LOL

    I got my kitten back in February,and when I adopted her from PetSmart, they told me she was spayed(thats a female--spayed--right?) So Ive had her as an indoor cat all this time,up till about a month ago when she was running around the house with her booty in the air.She would stick it up any time you even LOOK at her,like she was getting her back scratched! I thought she was just horny after a few days of her doing it so I decided to go ahead and let her out because it was starting to get on my nerves. She came back the next day as calm as can be. Now she's ready to pop. PetSmart WILL be adopting these kittens! lol
    Just thought Id share because this happened to me before when I thought my cat was male.(I was real young and never bothered to check) Y me? LOL
    Dont tell me Im the only one....

    Read the thread. Petsmart told her the kitten was spayed so she thought it was. Now the cat is preggo because she was lied to by the petstore.

    yeah, no shit. I read the thread but was confused by how much sense it DIDN'T make. Why the hell would the pet store lie?

    When I got my cat (years ago now, I no longer have him) people told me its best not to get him fixed until he started spraying. So I waited and waited and waited and then one day got an annonamous letter in my mail box from a pissed off neighbour basically telling me to get him done or else. Apparently he had been popping over to their place every night for a few weeks and spraying around thier balcony and fighting with their cats. Oops, lol. That same day he sprayed in my garage for the first time... I never found out which neighbour it was though!

    LOL that sux. Mittens never sprayed, i hate that smell!
    Maybe Petsmart was mixed up or something, but I was told she was spayed otherwise I wouldnt have let her out that one time. ONE TIME is all it took for her to make some babies! lil freak! lol

    YES!!! I hope she doesnt have a bunch of kittens for me to get rid of after 6 weeks. I cant seem to get rid of her fleas either. She was on flea med, then I ran out,have not had a chance to refill. Whats a good shampoo for prego cats? I know some are unsafe. I dont want the babies getting all bit up,then a ton of fleas being left behind when they are adopted. But yes, ill def. spay her,even though shes an indoor cat.

    I don't understand...how do you adopt kittens from PetsMart? Don't they only adopt out kittens/cats/puppies/dogs from the local shelters? If so, then it's the shelter that is the issue and not the store...

    But, I'm not getting the whole story, either. It just doesn't make sense...

    PetSmart donated space to the Jr. Humane Society here in Pensacola.They have one little area in the back of the store with maybe 5-6 animals to adopt out on display. An adoption cost $50.00.
    Baby shampoo...ok, but that wont kill the fleas?
    She's due any day because gestation for a cat is 60-63 days I believe. Its been at least that. Any tall tale signs to look for that will let me know to keep an eye on her?

    I found a beautiful stray by me after my first cat died (gosh I miss him). I took her in and she was so tiny...very little...took her to the vet to get all of her shots, etc...asked them to spay her so I wouldn't get any surprises...and the vet looked at me, smiled, and said, SURPRISE!! She was about 1/2 way through the gestational period...and I decided to let her have the kittens. The telltale sign for me was when she started looking for dark places to lay down. I would strongly advise you get her a box (that you can close up to darken) and put a bunch of old towels/sheets, etc in and put her in there. She'll let you know when she has the kittens (or you'll hear them mewing) but don't try to pick them up for a few days. Mommy cats tend to be very territorial over their kittens...especially right after birth.

    But, also keep a good eye on her around weaning time. I made an appointment for Mariah (her meows were like this operatic, melodic sound) for getting spayed when she weaned the kittens (they were about 3-4 months)...and the day that I was supposed to take her to the vet, I could not find her ANYWHERE. Looked in/under everything and there was no sign of her. I got into the spare bedroom and the ripped screen caught my eye...she ripped through the damn screen to get outside...and not 3 minutes after that, I could hear the screeching of mating cats. I was so mad!! So, around the time you are going to get your cat spayed, keep all windows closed and make sure that she's not by the door when you open it.

    I don't want to sound mean, but you could still get her spayed while she is pregnant. Yes it would abort the kittens and it is a riskier surgery (the blood vessels are dialated so there is an increased chance of bleeding) but there are so many cats w/ out homes and so many abused cats it might be the best option.

    I would say the same thing, but she says they are almost to gestation...so its too late for that. But definatley get her spayed ASAP...as soon as the kittens are weaned...which can happen as soon as 6-8 weeks.

    And one time outside is all it takes for her to get hit by a car,etc..too...so please keep her indoors from now on unless she is on a leash

    Yea, I never let her out anymore. I just couldnt stand to look at a horny cat another day at that time. LOL I will def. have her spayed ASAP, and the kittens will go to Jr. Humane Society,which is a good group of kids...Im sure they'd love to see Mittens' babies.
    Yea, she's been hanging out in my closet a lot, in the clothes basket.So I did the towels thing. But now she wants to lay all over me while im on the PC, climbing up on the keyboard,chasing the mouse on the screen. Pretty energetic for a mommy to soon be! hehe

    One of my cats only had one. If she seems like she's struggling though, take her to the vet. One or two might be stuck. It can take up to a day for all to be born. My old kitty once had two then the next day had another. It was a big one too.

    the vet will be able to x-ray her and see how many are left, and whether one is stuck in the birth canal. He'll also be able to do a c-section if she cant give birth herself...and spay her at the same time if necessary. Be prepared...this could get expensive.

    When people say they want to breed "for fun" or to make $$ off the puppies and kittens......I always cite instances like this. Not every dog and cat just gives birth easily with no problems...in fact thats pretty rare. And most people dont research enough to be prepared for things like this.(not directed at the OP...just in general). Figure if someone breeds thinking they'll profit from selling the kittens...and something like this happens....say saving her and the babies ends up costing $1000-$2000 (could happen depending on the problem)...and she has 4 kittens...you'd have to charge $250-$500 a kitten just to break even! And unless they are purebred champions...you're not likely to get that.

    Good luck with her and keep us posted!
