LOL no she's just a "fat cat"

She's going to see the vet next week and I'll see what he says regarding her spay, or non spay

We would have heard the squeals had she had any babies

That's what I was thinking too .. Was just wondering what the verdicts are - fat cat, phantom pregnancy or worms? And spayed or not spayed?

Any news on Tia?

Nope

any more news ?

Dawn F · « **Reply #93 on:** September 23, 2009, 16:37:26 PM »

hopefully she'll already be done and will just need a shave to check

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #92 on:** September 23, 2009, 16:28:23 PM »

All of my others are neutered, Tia will be getting neutered too.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #91 on:** September 23, 2009, 08:01:25 AM »

I think you have to do something CC, it isn't just a pregnancy you have to worry about, there are all the other health issues if she is unneutered.

Millys Mum · « **Reply #90 on:** September 22, 2009, 19:26:50 PM »

CC you have your options, worm, clip and ultrasound or book her a spay and possibly find shes already done, i cant see just leaving her when a tom can get in is in anyway an option

Bazsmum · « **Reply #89 on:** September 22, 2009, 13:27:23 PM »

Get her wormed and booked in for a spay cc, by the time her spay is due if she were pregnant she would have had them by then!

A few years ago I trapped a feral who had had kittens, when I managed to trap her for spaying we all thought she was pregnant again she was only small but her stomach was huge but it turned out she wasn't

Liz · « **Reply #87 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:47:02 PM »

Oh dear I have 2 ladies who look like that and both are speyed they just have a saggy bit.

We also had a cat who reabsorded her pregnancy and when we wormed her she lost all that excess weight - she has now eaten and is a fuller figured girl again - Our Miss Diva

We also had Peanut who always has a sag - never came in to eason and was speyed at 11 months - she was full of cysts and goes in every 3 - 4 years for an op to remove more cysts

I would say get a wormer down her and do an ultrasound - as I said before our vet did the lat one for free just to confirm that our feral Miss Indie was in the family way but she had kittens in the last 10 weeks and did still look pregnant as she had milk etc when vet checked

Bazsmum · « **Reply #86 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:28:36 PM »

Well what about gettin a milbemax from the vet and seeing what happens....Remember my Gigga, you would of thought he was expecting till I wormed him!

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #85 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:26:29 PM »

I dont know, I really wouldn't want to put her through the GA for no reason.

Yes do have a better pic but my phone is being stupid and not helping me much!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #84 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:19:45 PM »

Aw! Even under all that fur!

Dawn F · « **Reply #83 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:12:42 PM »

star has one but she had an emergency c section but you can see it fairly well if she shows you her big belly!!

Bazsmum · « **Reply #82 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:11:38 PM »

I dont know if they would go that far Dawn as midline's arnt the usual site to spay from.....Only 1 out of 7 hear with a midline!

Dawn F · « **Reply #81 on:** September 22, 2009, 12:01:46 PM »

with amber she just had one of her flanks shaved I suppose if they don't find anything then they'd look for midline??

Bazsmum · « **Reply #80 on:** September 22, 2009, 11:59:14 AM »

You know when vets check for a scar, would they also check for a midline one?

Milly got a midline spay from that vets remember!

Hav'nt you got a more current pic of her?

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #79 on:** September 22, 2009, 11:58:28 AM »

Teresa please pm me about that, as I really do want to know. I need to be on the look out just incase

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #78 on:** September 22, 2009, 11:28:09 AM »

CC I am not going to freak you out by telling you of experiences I have had for a cat not calling, she may be spay or she may not be, as for cat proof fencing she shouldnt be able to escape but a Tom could get in do the deed and be stuck in the garden unable to get out.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #77 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:32:37 AM »

As far as I know, they'd see as soon as they looked "in that area" and finish up the op. At least you'd know one way or another if she was spayed, I suppose.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #76 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:28:19 AM »

Thats the point even if she did come into season, she wouldn't be able to get out anyway with the cat proofing, the back garden is as far as she goes. My lot have also been neutered

What would happen if they do a spay but she is already done?

Dawn F · « **Reply #75 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:25:34 AM »

didn't Gillian's Gwynnie have a silent calling thing??

there are reasons for a cat not to call.

Which are?

When I told the vet that she hadn't been in season, and from the fact that he didn't think she was pregnant, he said she could already be spayed

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #73 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:19:54 AM »

I would give her Milbemax; I would also book her in for spay regardless, there are reasons for a cat not to call.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #72 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:12:11 AM »

I know its crazy lol

Should I worm her?

have something from vetuk in the cupboard, will go check.

She actually came here before that date!

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #71 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:09:43 AM »

By my calculations 23rd July was 9 weekls ago tomorrow so unless she mated the day the photo was taken or indeed after that , she only has today to produce; other than that she cant be.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #70 on:** September 22, 2009, 10:01:08 AM »

Daisy that pic was taken a while ago, will check to see if I can find out the date.

That pic was taken on the 23rd of July, she certainly didn't look like that when she came here.

Daisymac · « **Reply #69 on:** September 22, 2009, 09:57:27 AM »

She is a lovely girl, I dont know if she is pregnant, Gracie's belly was certainly a lot bigger and more out sidewards if that makes sense

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #68 on:** September 22, 2009, 09:46:09 AM »

HORRAH

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #67 on:** September 22, 2009, 09:44:11 AM »

Hopefully a pic.......

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #66 on:** September 22, 2009, 09:24:54 AM »

Well if she is or isnt, Im sure I will know in a couple of weeks time anyway.

Des she wouldn't eat the kitten food- so now Im stuck with 3 boxes of that

But I have been giving her extra food- obviously as I thought she was pregnant

I just dont understand (if it is just weight) how she has put so much on in her mid-region, and nowhere else really

You can tell Macey is fat, but Tia does look pregnant

And she only weighs 4.6kg, she wasn't overly skinny when she came here but with the rate of her stomach growth, what else was I to think

Have also has a "squeeze" of her tum and its hard, not like any of my others

Dawn F · « **Reply #65 on:** September 22, 2009, 08:40:22 AM »

the rspca shave to see if there is a spay scar (just in case the person handing has claimed they spayed and they aren't)

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #64 on:** September 22, 2009, 08:16:16 AM »

The weight gain could simply be due to regular meals - didn't you put her on kitten food as well cos you thought she was? I would either get her shaved to see if there is a scar, or have an ultrasound done - although my local RSPCA puts all female cats under and opens them up to see if they are spayed.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #63 on:** September 21, 2009, 20:06:32 PM »

Thats the thing- I think I have felt something inside

Tried to have a look at Macey's nipples to see if they were the same but she wouldn't let me

Im just really confused now, how can one vet say she is and another say she's not

Even the VN looked amazed

Millys Mum · « **Reply #62 on:** September 21, 2009, 18:47:44 PM »

They can clip and look for a scar, its not 100% but if there was one you would know, id also go for an ultrasound.
Since Lolas weight has gone up she has a round firm belly, but i know theres no kittens in there, thank god

LesleyW · « **Reply #61 on:** September 21, 2009, 16:47:53 PM »

I thought my Molly was pregnant - she was one of our first cats, before we knew about the cat over-population problem. I took her to the Vets and they said she was pregnant and would give birth within the next two weeks.

Three weeks later took her back and they then decided she was not pregnant!! I do believe though that she had a phantom pregnancy as she did balloon and produce milk. But I also think she was sterile as I saw the poor girl being mounted by one of the big neighbourhood males several time and heard her screams!!!!

As soon as I knew she was not pregnant she was booked in for spaying and she was the only one who ever reached the age of 18 months without being spayed.

Since that time all mine have been spayed at six months.

Email the picture to me CC and I'll see if it'll post for me.
