Give her a week and she'll be back. Sixty some days later, you'll have
kittens.

Erm... so far your first prediction has become fact :-) She came back this
morning ! She just stood there as if nothing had happened. Archibald is
ignoring her though, I think he wants to have a few words with her ;-)

Somehow I think your second prediction will materialize as well BTW :-)

How I adore these uppity kitty cats. It is just none of your business
Where she's been!
I suspect Archibald's nose is out of joint.
Why the Idea.... taking up with Trash!!

Sounds like she is probably in the family way
right now.
Of course she wont have any knowledge where they
came from - But I'll bet she'll be a good little Momma.

She does feel a little guilty though, I think :

Nah, scrap that:

But I'll bet she'll be a good little Momma.

Bof, maybe she isn't pregnant at all. I mean, just because she has been
stuck to me like glue all morning (she normally doesn't I admit), is making
strange high pitched purry noises, answers to every question I ask her,
rolls on the floor (not laughing), and with her nipples are looking a bit
funky, there's nothing that could possibly indicate she's pregnant.

Is there ? ...

;-)

I sure am glad she's back, Theo! And she had a good time while she was out,
too (living up to her name, I see!) The "wet pets" hurt to lose, but the
furry ones hurt more. Depending on your point of view, I'd call the vet and
ask his/her opinion - unless you want the kittens (which are ALWAYS
adoreable!) They have a "morning after" shot for animals, too. Can you find
good homes for babies? Ah, the decisions! But at least she's home and safe.
And you're right: she doesn't look too guilty, just tired! Congratulations!

Well, time will certainly tell!
Glad she's back and we want lots of pictures
of the maybe-potential kittens.

I'm glad she's back as i have been thinking about her. The pix about
made me cry. I miss my baby.

Darn, jammer... I can only say I hope it was one of the "good" cries - you
know what I mean. I'm not a religious person, but I'm sure there is a cat
heaven, and I'm sure your kitty looks down at you with only good memories.
The word "accident" needs to be taken literally... it was an accident, i.e.
something you could not prevent. Try to not feel too guilty...

As we all said to Cybe ... get another one if/when you feel up to it. No,
you can't "replace", but you can partly "transfer" your admiration for these
strange critters. They are all quite unique.

To answer lots of things in one post (anti-spam me)... they do indeed
"connect" to us more than fish. That's not to say fish are not worth
mourning about... they are, but it's not the same. Don't ask me why
though. It's like losing people close to you isn't the same as losing
pets. OTOH, both my wife & me have one fish we would really mourn about...
Betty, an Ochiba (Sigure for you nerdy lot ;-) ) Don't ask me why, I've seen
Sophie's Choice, but he (yup, we got the gender slightly wrong) is so
"tuned" to us, it's amazing. (which also makes it a selfish thing BTW... ).
That said, the way cats can play us (if you are a cat person that is-) is
quite overwhelming.

Anyway.

Sure, we did try to "rationalize" and have a few human candidates ready to
house the kittens, but as you know with people, some (most ?) will opt out
at the last minute (tax raise, kharma or biorhythm not right, favorite
football team just lost ;-) )

If we can't find a nice home for them (which was the reason in the first
place why we wanted "true" Coons, easier that way), we just keep the lot.
It's not like they cost half of what it costs to feed a Koi is it ??? (think
about it !)

Lee, we (well I) do want the kittens. I'm not "policital" in my views at
all, but this is what she wanted no ? Not my right to decide on it all.
So, if all goes according to plan, we'll have 4-5 "trash" ;-) kittens in a
few weeks. The "morning after" pill is pretty dangerous to cats as well
BTW - at least that's what my vet told me. But even so, I think we will let
nature run its course.*

Nope, no guilt, and why should she ! She followed her instincts, so I'm the
last person on earth to go "tut tut". I'm off to our local version of
"home depot" to get me some wood, to build her a nest.

Theo

* you will not believe this, but we actually bought another Coon on the day
she dissapeared. A male, in the hope she would like him and would want to
have a nest with him...
http://w1.243.telia.com/~u24311489/d...otos/Cream.jpg She would get
used to him & all that "human" crap... I thought that was rather funny LOL


PS: we get our cats from this lady: http://www.dorsai.be/ and if you are in

What does she think of the new guy who moved in during her wanderings?

We are allergic to cats but have been adopted by the neighbor's cat who claims
our yard as his own and defends it to the last.
He always greets us when we come home and we give him ear rubs (then wash our
hands!). He's orange and white and has tattered ears from his many battles.

Oi, I'm smart me... I haven't picked him up yet, I really didn't want to
make things more complicated than they already were :-)

So next week, it's "Hi, welcome to your new home, these are the turtles,
these are the fish, and this is your pregnant sister who doesn't need you
anyway...the two hissing critters behind the curtain are your brothers
BTW..." LOL

He's orange and white and has tattered ears from his many battles.

War wounds

How do the dogs react to him ?

Theo

Good for you, Theo (and for Edina, too). I don't have cats right now (I have
4 dogs instead), but I always loved their independent nature. I've heard
nothing but good (if you're a cat person, that is!) about the Maine Coons.
It's good that she's safe: she had a good time, did what comes natural, and
came home safe and sound. I was kidding about the "guilt": dogs have guilt;
cat's are just too darn independent to have any G! Keep us advised - now
your "global family" will be anticipating updates!

We have two huge black cats that might be part Maine coon; they're
each normally around 15-16 pounds and quite talkative. Poor Bootsie
isn't feeling too well right now though; she twisted a claw on a hind
foot and has an infection there. Been giving her antibiotics and
hand-feeding her babyfood chicken and pedialyte for a week, and she's
just starting to come around. Gotta love those resilient kitties; and
all the other pets.

Mad, love your sig tag! and having worked for attorneys for 25+ years,
my answer is an unqualified "yes."
