How is Mildred? Any sign of ickle paws, noses and whiskers yet?

[Fran]

:-D well!!!!!!..................................











Nope :roll: She's hiding at the moment under the vetbed and keeps looking at her tum as if to say what's going on, so I think things are progressing but no babies just yet :lol:

From my experience they tend to be a little late rather than a little early but 65 days pregnant is considered the *norm* Mil is 65 days tomorrow from the first day she spent with her boyfriend

Is this all usual behaviour then, hiding and looking at her tum and things? I've never had a birth in the house and I was curious you see

Yes, it's normal as is digging and biting the bedding and a whole host of other quirks, it's also normal if they don't do these things. There are no hard and fast rules, each queen is different and each pregnancy can be different much like it can be with humans. Mil's behaviour is a positive sign that things are progressing. Her mum never gives any indication at all and just delivers them without warning, so I'm feeling lucky :-D

I've never thought about videoing it tbh! All you'd probably hear is me sending out the orders to hubby to do/fetch whatever :lol:

Actually, Siamese and Orientals are not always the most natural of mothers initially. I had to get all the kittens of both my litters out of their sacs, sever cords etc...It's not quite the textbook delivery you imagine...

That must feel more special though being hands on for your babies and grandbabies
