Title: Free kittens
Post by: Umpa on 03, June, 2009 - 17:39:37
Our cat is up the duff. She's a RagDoll breed. About 30 days still to go with 10 weeks before they can leave mum.

Ultrasound says at least 3 kittens.

She's really fat now. I'll post pictures when they arrive. It's a bit scary as she is so big.

Well done pussy,hehehe.

Well she is a propper RagDoll cat with papers, the father was a selected ally cat.  The whole idea was simply to let her have a litter before sterilisation.  I'm not a breeder - just wanting to do right by her - hence they are free.

In the paper moggies go for £30 quid and Ragdoll's are £300.  So I figured free was a really good deal.

For what its worth, both father and mother are really nice cats.

Any way you like Andy, will be a good time yet tho.  They are putting on weight rapid.

She had them at the vets, its been like a human birth.  She had a scan and when the time was right she was induced as there were a few complications.  Then she had an x-ray to make sure they were all out.

She aint just any old cat - she's my cat - lol so nothing but the best for her.

It cost me a bomb, but the kittens are still free to good homes.  I feel happy that she's had a litter and done what she was made for :)

lol - well i guess its because both Mum & Dad (Tissy & Tom) are indoor cats - having never been outside and wormed and vaccinated regularly I guess there are no nasties in them so none in the kittens.
Before I get the 'cats needing to go outside' lecture from anyone - these cats are very happy :) and don't poop on other peoples gardens - lol
