| Are you saying that this kitty is 9 months old, and pregnant for the
second time??? Has she had the babies yet??? I wonder if it's too
late to get her spayed...having another litter at this young an age, so
soon after the last litter, could be physically harmful for her.

| THIS IS HER SECOND LITTER. THE OTHER LITTER WAS BORN 6 WEEKS AGO
AND SHE GOT CAUGHT AGAIN A WEEK LATER. SHE ACCIDENTLY GOT OUT OF
THE HOUSE WHEN MY DAUGHTER WASN'T LOOKING. I INTENDED TO HAVE HER
SPAYED AFTER SHE STOPPED NURSING THE LITTER.

| Have her spayed NOW - call your vet and see if they will take her
if you can afford to do that - having a second litter this soon
is VERY dangerous for such a young kitten. Just an opinion....
Accidents do happen - the little devils really do go into heat
right after they deliver - silly things - don't know enough
to let themselves rest for a while !!

| E.T. & Cindy -
I think Fran said that its been about 5 wks now since she got
out. Is that too far along?
I suggested that Fran try to get some P/D or other food for
pregnant and lactating cats. Midnight should at least be getting
food high in calories, calcium and other things that are being
depleated from her body right now. Do you have any better suggestions?
Oh - and Fran has low cost spay applications.
Fran - Please used mixed case. All caps is hard to read and is
considered shouting.
thanks

| Nancy,
You gave her some good advice. The P/D would help her body keep
up with the demands that two pregnancies can put on it. I would
also suggest taking her into the vet and see if he recommends a
spay now, or if not, some dietary supplements. She may need a calcium
supplement, and maybe even iron. I had a queen become anemic on
me once, (a stray, not one of my breeding cats), and then when she
needed a c-section to deliver, they had to give her blood transfusions
first, very risky and very costly.

| I guess I missed something here?? Is the mother cat up for adoption??
Why not keep her and try to find homes for the babies. If you keep a
baby kitten you are going to just have to nueter or spay that one when
the time comes.
It's a shame to toss the mother aside for one of her babies. And also
how does 1 mother and 1 baby equal 3.
I guess I am really confused on this one.

| The mother will be harder to place too, you know. Adult cats can
be next to impossible to find homes for since they have lost the
"cuteness" of kittenhood.
