Dora The Cat

My daughter's cat got out the first week of May of 2009 and to this day, I don't even know how she got out. Well, needless to say, Dora is now expecting her first litter. We had planned on getting her fixed after we got back from vacation but it didn't happen that way. Now we are waiting for the arrival of Dora's kittens.

I estimate that she is due either this week or next week but am not sure. My daughter is so excited that her cat is going to have kittens. She is in for a shocker because once the kittens are about a week old, she will be taking over the care of changing the cat litter and feeding Dora again.

We put her in the enclosed front porch to wait for the arrival of her kittens. Just so everyone knows, the temperature here in Michigan hasn't reached the 80's or 90's so Dora is not in a sauna room. This was the only room that I could put her so she has privacy and she doesn't have her kittens in the basement ceiling or in the middle of my bed.

I hope for a small litter because she is so tiny. Good luck to everyone else who has a pregnant cat!!
