Re: Cat advice again please


If she was vocal about 4 weeks ago that is very possibly when she mated in which case you ahve another 5 weeks to go. If the nipples have gone bright pink and larger within the last week, approximately about 3 weeks after her being vocal, this is called pinking up and is the first indication the cat is pregnant. She definitely needs examining by a vet to clarify the situation. As Fran said high quality food is what is needed preferably a quality make dried kitten food. All my expectant mums are fed on Royal Canin Kitten. Kitten food is higher in protein so helps both mum and babies.

Let us know what happens.

Wow how amazing! Definately needs to be seen by a vet - because if he/she IS male, there is something else going on there too

Keep us updated, I'm fascinated

I have actually had a kitten that was both male and female. It is rare and they can't become either parent but it was confusing when trying to sex it .

I have just seen max and the nipples are twice the size, max is also very round on the belly. We think max is part siamese. Max is owner just said he would problaly keep the rint of the litter if OH lets him. There both nurses and love there cats to bits. Kado also goes in for his breakfast sometimes and he loves sitting on there roof and they dont mind one bit.

Wow I can imagine! Never thought cats would be hermaphrodite but then I guess any mammal has the potential for a genetic oopsie.
