1173.0. "BREEDING" by AIMHI::TOMOLONIS () Fri Mar 11 1988 10:52

    HI, I'M A NEW USER SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. I AM LOOKING ON INFO
    ON BREDING MY SIAMESE CATS, FOR EXAMPLE SIGNS TO BE ABLE TO TELL
    IF THE FEAMLE IS PREGNANT, AN DHOW LONG BEFORE THE KITTENS ARE
    BORN? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY REPLY ON THIS
    THANKS.

1173.1They glow!PMROAD::SWEENEYFri Mar 11 1988 15:058
    
    Gestation period for Siamese is about 8 weeks.  You will be able
    to tell after about 4 weeks when she starts getting 'full' and her
    little nipples will look swollen.  And of course she will not go
    into her usual heat cycle.  Believe it or not, my little Sunny actually
    had a very nice 'glow' about her when she was expecting!

    Hi Beth,
    
    If you do SHOW KEYWORD/BREEDING you might find some more info.
    
    Good luck

1173.3Please give it some thought...FIDDLE::GERRYGo ahead, make me PURRR...Wed Mar 23 1988 12:498
    The actual gestation period for any breed of cat is 63 to 65 days
    from the first day of the breeding.
    
    I do hope you've read the other notes in here on breeding, and really
    considered whether you should or should not breed your cat.

    Aw, Cin...
    
    You've suffered through enough of my litters (well, my cats')
    to know that 63-65 is "average", but a few days late is not at
    all uncommon.  Our "number" seems to be about 66 or 67.
    Is there a 2 digit lottery???
    
    Just didn't want anyone to worry as the clock struck midnight
    on day 65 and fear that Mom-to-be-cat would turn into a pumpkin!
