My 2.5 yr old cat gave birth to 1 stillbirth cat
"cybercat" wrote in message
... "CatNipped" wrote I just talked to Ben. He said when he got home both boys were still asleep under the couch in his office (now known as the isolation chamber with the screen on the door ;). He pulled them out and gave them some food - and both boys scarfed it down like the little piglets they are. Tayla came over when Archer was finished eating and gave him a good wash. When she was done she walked over to Ozzy, who was still eating, and started to give him a wash. However, Ozzy didn't want to be washed so he looked up into her face and hissed at her!!! She sat back and bopped him on top of his head three times until he laid down, properly chastised, and then gave him his good wash. After she was done he jumped up, licked both his and Archer's plate clean, and then walked over and started eating Tayla's dry food. Tayla looked up at Ben with a "What are you gonna do?" look and then jumped up to his desk to take her nap. That is sooo cute. Maybe the boys will help Tayla by being surrogate kittens for the ones she lost, at least allowing her to mother a bit. I hope so, they need someone to wash off the kitten stink! Now if she could just get them to stop using their litterbox as their "fort" and a hiding place for ambushing each other! ; Hugs, CatNipped |

rec.pets.cats.health+behav news:754a1d1aa8ae0@uwe: My cat gave birth to 1 kitten today 7/16/07 about 4:30pm. The kitten was dead when it was born. We tried to revive it and nothing worked. She has not given birth to any other kittens in the last 7.5 hours. She shows no sign of distress, she is jumping on our laps and eating and drinking as normal. This was her first litter, is this normal? Don't know about normal, but when you take her to the vet I'd ask for FELV and FIV combo test. I read/heard a long time ago that these illnesses can cause either spontaneous abortion or fetal absorption. I think that while one kitten isn't impossible, it surely must be rare. The fact that the one was stillborn makes me wonder about the health of the mama. I believe toxoplasmosis can cause stillbirth, too. Kitty needs vet. -- Cheryl |

It so reminds me of how Shamrock adopted Scarlett and Rhett as his "babies" when they first arrived, and how he became known as Mr Mom for a while here. The kittens learned their manners from him, just as yours are from Tayla. Sooo cute, and nicely described, too. -- Cheryl |

if you first vet has ignored your call when you obviously have what could be a serious emergency on your hands, it is time to find another vet pronto. Exactly - even in the small town where I live, there are 24-hour vets. Okay, I admit, I haven't tested them to find out if they REALLY do live up to their claims, but I would keep calling every vet I could find until I got hold of one if I felt my cat was in danger. and 'keepign bloodlines going' is not really a good enough excuse for adding to the problem of overpopulation. You would have to find a home for the little one and that would take away a potential home for one of the many thousands of cats in rescue shelters up and down the country who are already there and desparate for a good home. dontl just think about your self, think about how what you do affects everything else inthe world as everything you do can have a knock on effect in ways you least expect. remember; if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem, so thnk about getting her spayed Think about it and then do it. bookie |

But as I said It was said simply and without foul language or any recriminations. How *would* you expect people, not vets, who have never seen your cat, and with only a brief description of the problem, know how to diagnose your cat? And moreover, *WHY* would you want those people to try to make a diagnosis and tell you what to do? Why would you trust perfect strangers to tell you something that important? Additionally, expecting a group which is dedicated to the health and happiness of cats to be sympathetic to someone who allows a cat to bring kittens into a world that is euthanizing *THOUSANDS* of "excess" kittens every day is a bit unrealistic. Cybercat just stated the obvious without any implication of nastiness - she has no control over how you infer what she wrote. You are so good and so patient. Had the OP known me better, he/she would have known that I used considerable restraint. For nothing! Just goes to show you, be yourself! ahhahaha! Hope Archer and Ozzie are feeling better soon. I wonder if it is a combination of the shots and the emotional toil of thinking maybe they were getting sent back or away?? -- Posted via a free Usenet account fromhttp://www.teranews.com- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - actually all you did was say exactly what a lot of us were thinking anyway, you just got to your computer before the rest of us! the OP has made their cat go through an unnecessary and probably painful and traumatic experience of giving birth to a still born kitten then expects people here to not pass judgement on that and just give advice, what else did they expect? i think you were much tamer than i would have been. i feel so sorry for the 2 cats involved, i do not really think that the OP has their best interests at heart by making them breed, and certainly does not have the interests of the wider cat community in mind at all if they do not have both cats 'done' asap. some people are just selfish cretins, just a real shame that the welfare of such beautiful creatures has been entrusted to such morons bookie |

I am really sorry that your cat's first pregnancy worked out so sadly
for you and for her. But even more, I am sorry and wish I could appologise for how hatefully you were treated on this listserv. It seems common on many listservs that nasty, drunken and ignorant people appear to be dominant and so people are discouraged from asking questions. However, when I had a problem with my cat, I got several helpful responses sent to me privately that were a big help to me and made me and the cat feel better. I am still grateful for them. I hope you did as well and will continue to post on this listserv because there are good people here who do not necessarily respond online but who will respond by direct email.
