Chance would be a fine thing  :shocked:  Got back in, had something to eat and then went trapping some ferals down the road with my friend.  We've just caught 5 but had to laugh at one youngster, he was running down the road with a swagger, looking all cocky until he spotted us  :evillaugh:  You could see him putting his brakes on as he saw us, he doubled back into another garden, sneaked round to where the food was in the trap and went in  :evillaugh:  Bless him, he looks like one of last years kittens but will be in the vets in the morning  ;)

A quick update on this gorgeous girl.  She's settled in fine, she was a little nervous at first but is now becoming a total fuss pot  :Luv:  I'll try and take some piccies of her tomorrow and post them.  She's going into the vets this week for a checkover, I'm still not sure how far gone she is but I think she's got a few weeks to go yet, I'll see what Uncle Sean says when she goes in  ;)

Socks is doing really well and I think she's due any day  :Crazy:  I thought she had a good few weeks but her tummy has now dropped and she's feeling pretty hard so I think we're nearing the duration  :Luv:  She has settled in brilliantly, is extremely loving, is eating for England and I'm sure will find a loving home when the time comes.  I've still not had chance to take any piccies but I promise I will over the next couple of days  :Luv:  :Luv:  :Luv:

they are indeed - the B&W  :Luv: :Luv: - mind you Mum & the other babes are  :Luv: :Luv: too. - She's one lucky girl makes me sick they could part with her just like that. Though at least she wasn't just dumped and left to fend for herself and her babes.

Socks has decided this evening she doesn't want to be near her babies  :tired:  She's hissing and spitting at them and isn't a happy bunny at all.  It looks like these little ones are going to have to be handreared but I've just texted Sean and Socks will be going in tomorrow for a checkover to make sure everything is okay with her.  Hopefully she's just feeling a bit under the weather, and when she's feeling better she'll accept them back but for now, it looks like I'll be joining Lesley in some more sleepless nights  :sneaky:
Title: Re: ANOTHER PREGNANT CAT - MANCHESTER AREA

will be with you in thought if not in spirit.... zzzzz... ;)  lol.... sorry ... couldn't resist! ;)   lol


Good luck with them hun!  hopefully its nothing too sinister and she's just feeling a tad cranky! :hug:
Title: Re: ANOTHER PREGNANT CAT - MANCHESTER AREA
Post by: Dawn (DiddyDawn) on June 28, 2008, 19:48:02 PM
Still no luck reuniting Socks with her babies  :tired:  She's been to see Uncle Sean though and she does have a slight temp which he said will probably be making her feel like  :censored:  On checking her as well, she is only producing a tiny bit of milk on one side and the other is completely dry, he said with the constant suckling, this will make her feel sore and this could be part of the problem with her.  He's given her a jab and also given me an Oxytocin jab to give her if she shows interest in the kittens again.  This should stimulate her milk, but I can't believe he's given it me to give her as I  :censored: hate needles  :sneaky:  If she shows no interest, I'm just going to let her dry up, there's no point in stimulating her if she's not going to let them suckle.  She can be spayed in a couple of weeks and then placed for rehoming   :Luv2:
Title: Re: ANOTHER PREGNANT CAT - MANCHESTER AREA

Hopefully when her temperature comes down Socks will start to show interest in her babes again, hopefully.

Are there any pictures?

Are there any pictures?

I'll take some more of them as soon as I get chance, hopefully later on  :hug:  They seem to be doing okay but I really could have done without this, I work weekends so it's a pain in the  :censored: and my boss is not very amiable when it comes to cats/kittens, and i don't make a good employee when I'm tired so we've had a couple of spats today  :naughty:
