KC and Whicky, I have emailed Terri and she's gotten back to me this morning. As soon as I get home I'm going to read the lots and lots of articles she sent me. She's so, so helpful!<br /><br />Tia: Shaggy and crew, your people sounds like a wonderful one. Many peoples just let the feral cats starve and never worry about the kittens. Our Hoover lady catches them too and helps them, and my human's cousin people has just saved one that had cat flu.<br /><br />AFSS, the human did enquire if there were any kittens she could foster for a short while, but the only ones the local rescue had were too young. They still needed me to feed them. I would have done it, but the human says I have not really got much milk at all and she didn't want to risk it. She's silly really, because I know I have enough. She says also that the rescue hadn't tested them for bad diseases and she was worried about me being exposed to them. Even if I had another kitten, I would still know that my own are out there somewhere, maybe lost and hungry. I can't settle for thinking about them.Tia and Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687471400540306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-78964255988629195082010-10-11T12:17:55.777+01:002010-10-11T12:17:55.777+01:00Oh, this is so sad.

(we can't catch her for neutering, so mom does the best she can to keep momma cat safe and fed.) Our mom has captured all the kits from each litter and taken them to the shelter where they were adoptetd out quickly. This last batch, 4 of them, were 8 weeks old and eating solid food as well as still nursing. There is a limited time frame to capture feral kittens before they learn human fear from their momma. The other litters were all caught at about the same age, although the first one was more like 10 weeks.<br />I tell you all this because after capturing these last kittens, momma cat cried and cried so plaintively for her babies. She made sweet little calling sounds for them to come out of hiding and searched endlessly for them, crying and crying so pitifully the whole time. She was probably in discomfort as her nipples were large and distended, obviously needing to nurse them. Mom fears she took them too soon and her heart just broke over this sad momma cat. The crying lasted almost 2 weeks but she finally returned to normal. <br />We know how sad you must feel Tia and mom wishes she could cuddle you closely and stroke your beautiful fur, something she could never do with our feral momma cat.<br />Bless you and your sweet caring mom. We hope this is resolved soon.Shaggy and Scouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472258881852660775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-31319132409452149362010-10-11T02:02:47.302+01:002010-10-11T02:02:47.302+01:00Sending you purrs.

...Hi there, and thanks to you all for dropping by.<br /><br />Unfortunately, getting spayed is something that neither me or the human want. We sould like for me to have kittens. She is a breeder, you see. Still, if spaying was best for my health, she would do it.<br /><br />The human has tried a toy, but to be honest with you, I know it's not a kitten. It doesn't move. It doesn't wriggle. It doesn't suckle either. I just want my babies back.Tia and Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687471400540306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-8809191154398065182010-10-10T21:57:41.485+01:002010-10-10T21:57:41.485+01:00Kind of hard to post using one paw, but I just had...Kind of hard to post using one paw, but I just had to come by, and lend support.<br /><br />It is so good to finally see what you look like, yet so sad to hear what happened to you.<br /><br />I can't add anymore than what has already been suggested, and also 2nd the motion about getting fixed when the time is right to do so.<br /><br />I can't say sex is overrated, since I've never tried it, personally, but being spayed is for the best.Nikita Cathttp://www.opinionatedpussycat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-33230213300592728852010-10-10T21:46:14.905+01:002010-10-10T21:46:14.905+01:00Poor Tia.

I've seen this before and that helped the particular cat I was working with (although we used a large mousie toy), until she finally got spayed and realized that it wasn't a kitten. She also started playing with the other cats and <i>fortunately</i> adopted the newest rescue we got. Best of luck, tons of purrs, & prayers!!<br /><br />The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde & their FeedersKat's Katshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519016601947528061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-283173617740708842010-10-10T20:52:19.515+01:002010-10-10T20:52:19.515+01:00Please have your human get you spayed. :)Please have your human get you spayed. :)House of the Discardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558420754849811482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-84967280590442575882010-10-10T20:51:11.248+01:002010-10-10T20:51:11.248+01:00Tia sweetheart, we are all so sorry there were no ...Tia sweetheart, we are all so sorry there were no kittens. We don't know much about phantom pregnancies, but we wondered if your human gave your a kitten-sized soft toy for you to tend, and cuddle with when your human is asleep or at work, would it help? Just for a little comfort.<br />Maybe your human could email Teri of Furrydance, she would probably have some good advice that would help you feel much better.<br /><br />Whicky WuudlerEverycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356564928470972448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-32288595360655465232010-10-10T19:55:58.762+01:002010-10-10T19:55:58.762+01:00Oh goodness, Tia, how horrible for you and your hu...Oh goodness, Tia, how horrible for you and your human. We don't have any experience, as none of us were allowed to have kittens. We hope that it will pass soon, though it's still so very sad. We're glad you stopped by yesterday for Zoe's Gotcha Day party. Fuzzy was glad to have some quiet company - she hopes you were comfortable. We'll be checking back to see if you're feeling better.<br /><br />Your friends, Fuzzy and ZoeOKcatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198562425311082919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5661088730278913829.post-12830144251119142452010-10-10T19:20:54.202+01:002010-10-10T19:20:54.202+01:00Oh, poor Tia.
