QuestionMy Siamese was mated on May 16th and 17th. According to the pregnancy calendar I found, we should be able to feel the kittens as of Saturday. So far, we can only feel one kitten. Is there anything I should watch for?? So far everything else seems normal. Thanks
AnswerAdrienne,
I would not worry about number of kittens so much as her having a good birthing experience. The normal gestation is 65-67 days with 63 days being a normal minimum and 69 days being a normal maximum, so you still have another month or so to wait (remember June only had 30 days).
The only sure way I know to get a handle on how many kittens she might have is an X-Ray, and this is not foolproof.
As the date approaches, see how she develops and, maybe a couple of weeks before she is due, you may have a better idea.
BTW, the books talk about the average cat pregnancy. I have yet to have a queen who did it in an average way <ggg>!!!!!
Best regards... Norm.
