If I don't go insane this next week I just don't know


Posted: Feb 12, 2012

Last week we got one of the female kittens fixed.  All went well and by the next day all her siblings were back to normal with her.  She is more affectionate and loveable now.  Three sisters left to go.  Today one of the sisters went into heat.  Actually I think yesterday she went into heat.  Then today another one of her sisters went into heat.  HOWEVER...We found her mounting the other in heat.  Was looking up if female cats in heat mount other female cats.  Well upon researching more, then inspecting our cat more we just realized she is a he.  For 9 months now we've believe him to be a her.  She had a puff but nothing protruding the would make us think she's a male.  She has the features, body, and temperament of her sisters and not like her brother.   She is dainty and just looks like a female cat, goes to the bathrrom the same way her sisters do. So...all I can say is ohhhhhh noooooo.  These two have been trying to mate all afternoon.  I have been pulling them apart from each other and keeping guard.  Tonight the girls will sleep in one room and the boys in another and our poor other kitty we keep separate will have to stay in the third room.  DH will stay with our older cat and I will sleep with the boys.  Only once when I walked to the kitchen did I hear a blood curdling meow, so I think he was successful, but hopefully not enough so.  I call Monday FIRST thing the minute they open and get them in, but I'm telling you...trying to do this while working full time is going to drive me insane and I don't know how soon I can get them in.  Hopefully they can make an emergency and at least get the male fixed.  I guess if by some odd chance they are successful at mating I'm hoping that if we can get them in this week that there will be no chance for a pregancy to occur.  Keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Just needed to vent.

I've dealt with two cats in heat but not at the same time, so I can barely imagine what you are going through with the nuMale in the house. Yikes!!!

Sending lots of good thoughts your way for patience and taking on the babies and their momma in the first place.

Oh my. - Meeow.

Sounds like a zoo there. I never had to go through the heat situation with my pets, (thank goodness!) but did misdiagnose the gender of one of my cats. Turns out "Sylvester" was really a "Sylvia." Best of luck to you, Cat Woman. You and your hubby are really kind people.

Oops on sex determination - hehehe

I do not envy you, OP, but it sounds like you have a huge heart, so kudos!!! We took in a stray kitten that was dropped off at a gas station near us. "She" also didn't have anything protruding, as you so tactfully put it. She went into heat right after that & she peed all over our bed. The 2nd night was the same. After I started looking stuff up on the net, figured out what the prob was, and scheduled THE VET VISIT, only to find out my Kramer was a female. Her her surgery, though, she's never done it again. Tricky critters, now aren't they? Good luck. Might want to sleep w/ your earphones on. ;)

Forgot to mention - hehehe

The only reason we agreed to take "him" was the store owner said Kramer was a "he." She's a country lady, so I figured she would know more about than I. Wouldn't have made a difference in hindsight, because she's my best buddy while hubs is working.

It Is Insane That We Are Paying For Trump'sApr 14, 2017
If Trump truly cared about us, they would be paying for their own security since adult chidren do not have to be covered by Secret Service.  I'm sorry if supporters don't see this as a problem but you should.  It is not right that taxpayers are paying so they can advance their business.

I'm hoping to hear from ladies who have recently went into menopause. I'm 49, still having periods, though irregular lately. For the past year or so I have been feeling like I'm going to go insane. Started out with a case of severe vertigo which led me to a year of a carnival horror ride of feeling nauseated, anxious, unable to sleep, and literally feeling like I was going to die. It landed me in the emergency room, they did a CAT scan, MRI, sent me to ENT. They found NOTHING ...

It's The Democrats, Not President Trump Who Are Insane. Feb 14, 2017
presidency, and the left is already questioning President Donald Trump’s mental health. Of course, it’s an effort to delegitimize the new president, and, quite frankly, isn’t very original. Hillary Clinton made her entire campaign about Mr. Trump’s temperament and fitness for office. Politico ran a story in October titled: “Could America elect a mentally ill president?” And Mr. Trump still won. Nevertheless, Democrats are at it again, desperately trying to convince the people ...
