Pregnant Teenager

I'm having pregnant teenager in the house!
Remember Bumblebee? She's my youngest kitten. I realize her abdomen is getting larger since last week, at first I thought she might eating to much recently, until I found out, her physical changes not only her tummy, but also her nipple. It's become rosier and swell. Is she pregnant? Worry about it, I browse through the article about pregnant cat and the signs. Well absolutely positively sure, my baby girl is pregnant. Duuuhh,.. she's only 7 months old, who's the father? Nay, certainly not Bobo, he's so innocent. Then I remember I put Bumblebee outside the house one day because she was noisy. So call of she is in the heat period . She must be got it from there. Oh..problem little girl now she got a baby and the father must be one of stray cat in the neighborhood.

What concern me now, how am I going to take care of her before and after the birth. My family had an experience having a pregnant young cat. She was having hard time with birth and having deformed or stillborn kittens . Poor thing huh...I want don't this happen to Bumblebee, I'm regret to put her out the other day. Now I must get ready and take care of her well to make sure her baby and herself will be alright. May be someone out there, think that I'm worry too much, she's just a cat. hey, she's a living being too..when you care and close to animals , you be surprise to know they are MAN's MOST LOYAL & BEST FRIEND.

So is your cat pregnant? What are the sign? Let me tell you ..


1.
Nipples Swell and Become Rosier in Color
2. Increased Appetite ( cats also crafting for food when they are pregnant)
3. Possible Vomiting ( even cat has morning sickness - I read this from one of the article.)
4. Tummy enlargement
5. Personality change : more affectionate. Ahah..I realise that in Bumblebee.
6. Gentlely press her tummy, u can feel fetuses. Normally 17th day onward.

Gee...I sound like an expert. :P How long is her pregnancy? According to the article I read, approximately 65 days, let's see Bumblebee might have got for 3 weeks now so I'll be expecting new kittens another 1 and half month. Somewhere in August, great the house will be merrier, more of them.

hi!i'm a cat lover myself&i love reading about ur cats;)
though i love cats,i can't have any cats at home right now.well,at least not a permanent cat as i have erratic schedule&i could not accomodate a cat into my home:(.
but i make it up by having a 'kucing angkat'.i kind of have this stray cat coming over to my place from time to time.so what i do is i feed&play with the cat.the cat would come over in the evening when i'm back from work&just before i go to bed,i would put the cat outside.it has huge belly&it has been that way since i first saw it late last year.at first i thought that it was pregnant.but until now,the belly is still H-U-G-E!!!hahaha!!!
well,keep up writing stories about your cats.it's always good to hear that there are people out there who loves cats as much as i do!!!;)

Hi alvina, thanks for dropping , hehe..ur story sounds cute, perhaps u can include ur "kucing angkat" pic in ur blog. Well my Bibble is having huge tummy too, because among them, she had it since she was younger. When she was baby, she drank alots of milk, i remember she can 5 bottles in a day. Not surprise to see how big she is now. She make me geram all the time, she so cute and irrisistable. Quite heavy too about 5kg .
It's to know another cats lover, they are so adorable aren't they. Their presence really cheer up my days, being close to them , making our bond even stronger.
