Nope..she has no contact with any male cat..& when she does it is her daddy & I watch them like a HAWK..he only comes in to visit..& only for a couple minutes at a time. The last heat cycle was on my birthday..& lasted for 7 days give or take a day. She is a MONSTER on 4 paws. When she says it is play time..you best be READY to play. It has been years...12 to be exact since I have dealt with a kitten indoors. Morris was 4-5 weeks old when I got him & he was nothing like Sweetie. More laid back & mellow. This one will attempt to jump at the ceiling for a bug if we do not stop her. She can jump several feet..up or across the room. squint

Ruth feels it's just because she is still a kitten so see what happens in the next month. It may be a good idea to have her spayed and then the troubles are over.

There's not a chance that he got to her.. So what has happened since you started this post about Sweetie. Anything new? How is her health otherwise?

Sweetie is in HEAT big time!! She is doing the purring/meowing really loudly when Phil says anything loud to her..she kinda meows/screams back at us. It is SO FUNNY!!! She is doing her cat dance non-stop..We wont get her phixed as she doesn't go into heat that often & we have no males that can get to her with out us being right there.
She has been in heat since last Thursday.
We have her mom who is Ce Ce or C2 as we called her..she has 5 kittens. There are 2 calico's,1 white with a few gray spots..1 black..1 black & white. We have another 2 who are expecting..Target does not know how or what to do with kittens. She has lost 2 litters. We have another who is the stray..we call her scruffy muffin..she is also due sometime. I think hers will be long hair calico kittens as she is a long hair black & white like our Yetti & Clone who we lost a few years ago. The papa is Spazzle. & he is a orange tabby. Henceforth the long hair calico kittens.
I will post pics when they are all big enuff to photograph! In the meantime..Purr purr..meow meow..

All the techs hated going because all of the cats were sick or deformed(she was a government rescue) poor kitties were happily fed and taken care of. Meds included. Actually got a bobtail from her.

My neighbor has 379 cats it seems,but they dont cause any trouble and we sure dont have mice around here. Your lucky, our neighbor has several cats and lets them roam all over to get food. They are usually over here trying to eat the barn cats food, Ruth has to constantly keep an eye out for them. Ruth has told me more then once to shoot them...that is how disgusted she has gotten. People shouldn't have animals they can't take care of especially when they don't respect boarders. It isn't the cats fault but it's one big pain in the azz when they constantly come here to be fed.And don't bother to tell me I should speak to them about it because the guy is an AH, and before I talk to him I will shoot the frigging cats or call animal control. By the way Spuds; ya don't need 379 cats to take care of rodents. Our two cats take care of two acres and three buildings worth of pests...not a single rodent around. Only thing I have to deal with is Ground Hogs. I'm glad to have the cat's we have,but to tell ya the truth I would much rather have a Dog.
