Caro calling

Posted on Tuesday 3 January 2006 at 08:36

One of the joys is a cat on heat ie calling to the Tom.

Caro is a reasonably quite caller thankfully!!!

How ever we also have Cinders calling - her kittens are only 10 weeks old and she is not ready to go back to stud even though she would like to. Cinders is alot more vocal than Caro. She may spend night in car shed in cage if she carries on at this volume.

Caro had her last litter of kittens 8th September & has had two calls since then.

Today she gets to go & visit Lordy (stud cat).

Their kittens will be due 9th March (if mating takes place today). Which will be 6 months from previous litter. I used to give 8 months between litters but the vet said it is better for a queen not to call too much. If the queen is healthy & calling it's best to put her to stud.

This will mean Briar's kittens will be 10 weeks old & in kitten pen (bathroom) Caro's kittens will start off in our room or Abbey's room for first three weeks until they want to walk about.

By the time Briar's kits are 12 weeks the urgency of a cattery will be HUGE especially since we are keeping two queens.

Off to clean out Lordy's room for his girfriend's visit. It's good company for him too & he enjoys that along with other things.
