Our spayed cat appears to be pregnant!!
I'm not much of a pet person. My boys wanted cats really really badly,
so I gave in. We bought the cats at a pet store while a shelter was doing a 'thing' there... so they're actually from a shleter and were spayed and neutered (1 boy, 1 girl) when we got them. They're inside cats but have 'escaped' on a few occasions. Hubby said last week that he thought she was pregnant... I said that she couldn't psossibly be, since she'd been spayed (of course I became pregnant a year after my tubal ligation, so I'm not sure why I'm surprised). I'm pretty sure she is 'with children'. I guess we see the vet tomorrow. What exactly is involved in spaying a cat? How could this happen? pj |

How could this happen? pj If she was spayed, she would not be able to get pregnant, because 'spaying' a oet (dog, cat rabbit, orotherwise) is listed on my vet's paperwork as an oviohysterectomy - meaning that they remove the both the ovaries and the uterus. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

In article .com,
enlightened us with... I'm not much of a pet person. My boys wanted cats really really badly, so I gave in.

I said that she couldn't psossibly be, since she'd been spayed (of course I became pregnant a year after my tubal ligation, so I'm not sure why I'm surprised). See the vet. I don't know why hubby would think she was pregnant, but I'm assuming she's looking fatter or bloated. This could be due to worms or other illness. If she really is pregnant, she isn't spayed. A spay is also called oviohysterectomy, which is just what it says -- the removal of the ovaries and uterus. There is no way a spayed cat can get pregnant. -- -- ~kaeli~ To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

Bring her into the office for an Xray tomorrow. I did, vet felt her again and was almost positive it was kittens, wasn't going to do the xray but then said let's be on the safe side. She did it, and it was poop! Poor thing was all backed up. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

Hi, Peggy!
How long have you had this kitty? Is it possible that she has just been doing some "pigging out"? I ask this because I adopted a 3 year old female in January from our SPCA. She had not been spayed yet. Their procedure is to send unaltered animals (except babies, of course) to the clinic they have a contract with to have the procedure done, and the person picks the animal up from the clinic the next day. This works great, because they ensure it is done. Twinkle gained FOUR pounds between Jan.23rd and Mid-March. What a little fatty! You could have sworn she was "with children"! She wasn't just putting the weight on smoothly, it kind of went on both sides sticking out like it does when they are mommy-to-be cats. She was a "confiscated" cat....................lived with 35 other cats and 16 dogs.......30 cats and 12 dogs went to the SPCA. I suppose she couldn't get used to having the food there without all the other animals. No wonder she pigged out! Is it possible that your little girl may be in the same situation? I hope that this is all it is, and not babies, worms or bloating. Keep us updated! Mel, Osker and Twinkle "peggy j" wrote in message oups.com... I'm not much of a pet person.
