Placenta Dinner anyone?

Kitten Two

Chloe didnt mind me taking pictures or being there, in fact she was purring up a storm the whole time. I will update more pics when she has more.

 

THey are so cute

 

Aw mannn! Did you HAVE to include the bloody, gooey pics?! :tongue:

Congrats, Chloe!

 

The placenta eating thing was something I couldn't watch when my cat had her kittens but I did watch some of the birthing.

Thank you for posting the pics! I love those little teensy feet! I want to kiss them!!!

 

Kitten Number Three

 

Congrats, they are adorable.

 

fourth and I think final Kitten

 

I'm sorry, but I do take offense to you saying that my comment was negative, because that's not how I meant it. I was worried because I've never had any experience with kitten birth (and don't plan to), and thought that they should have been coming quicker than three hours. -.-

 

Congrats to the new momma! Thanks for sharing!

 

Well I am sorry for offending every one but momma had a problem and had to be put to sleep. I am going to go to bed now..

 

wow that's a really sad ending I wasn't expecting from this thread :frown:

what happened?

 

When she had the last kitten, her uterus came out with it. I thought it was a placenta as she cleaned the kitten off and was trying to dispell the ofter birth.

xxshaelxx, you were right when saying there is something wrong, I was just too stupid to notice.

I dont deserve to own animals..

 

No no no, don't feel that way at all! It's all such a gooey mess when it happens that unless you're a professional, it's probably pretty hard to tell! Especially when you haven't witnessed a birth before and don't know what to look for/expect on the last kitten! And especially since every one told you that the delivery times vary so much, there was no way you could've known that's what was going to happen!

What I'd recommend doing is either going to the shelter or posting on craigslist to find another mama cat who's very recently had kittens and see if you can get them to take your kittens until they are weaned so you don't have to feed them hourly and clean their bums and all the fun stuff mama cats usually do.

Good luck, those are some cute kitties! How are they doing btw?

 

I dont have the time, emotions or finances. I signed the over to the clinic who will try to find a nursing mother. None of this would of happened had I got her fixed. She would still be alive..should still be able to play, pester and love. I took her life away because of MY stupidity. I can never bring her back

 

Well I agree that you should've gotten her spayed beforehand, but I don't know the circumstances leading up to anything with your ownership of her, so I can't really judge. However, what's done is done, and unfortunately nothing can change that. All we can ever do is learn from our mistakes and try as hard as possible never to repeat those mistakes. Maybe you can adopt one of her kittens when they are ready to find their forever homes (if they make it), and make it up to her that way by giving one of them a really amazing life that it deserves.

Either way, I'm really sorry about all of this, I know it's heart breaking no matter what I say and only time will help you feel better.

 

Oh, I am so sorry for you and Chloe. Everything went from joyous to tragedy so quickly. Please, you can't beat yourself up, it's happened and as much as you'd like to, nothing in the world can change it. It rips your heart out losing a pet and thinking you are to blame makes it a lot worse. I know its too early right now, but when you feel a bit stronger, do give some thought to adopting one of the kittens. Don't forget you gave Chloe a life that an awful lot of cats in this world would give their left paw for. Thinking of you.

 

I dont think I could adopt a kitten of hers. Way to much reminder for me. The kittens are with a lactating mother. She was the first and last female I will ever own. Ruby was inherited and she came to me fixed. I will be looking for another kitten in a bit because Lincoln isnt taking this well, he keeps walking around the house whining looking for her. He is so used to have a little buddy around to kick his arse around..I am looking for a male tho.

 

Wow, that really, really sucks.


Believe in spay/neuter now? Heh.

 

Believe in spay/neuter now? Heh.

Was this comment neccessary? I feel bad enough as it is. Nope sorry I do not believe in neutering still. But I do believe in spaying and my intentions were to get her spayed but she got out. But thanks for pointing out the obvious..

 

I'm very sorry to hear this, and cannot even imagine how guilty you feel right now.

Please do not put up a wall of defense, don't beat yourself up like that, we are here to listen if you want to talk about it.

 

I am curious as to why you believe in spaying but not neutering?

 

Me too. An un-neutered male cat was half of this problem. :frown:

Sorry for your loss. :frown:

 

I am not going to post my views on this thread so people can just go ahead and bash them. I advocate spaying/neutering for other peoples pets but I will not neuter dogs. Thats me and thats how it will stay and I do not feel I need to explain myself.

I already admitted the cats death was my fault, what more do you want.

 

My heart breaks for you. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest well, Chloe.

 

I was not trying to bash anyone. I was genuinely curious about the reasoning behind it.

 

Sorry for your loss. That must be the most horrible feeling ever. My female cat when I was younger had two litters and wasn't spayed until she had pyometra and mastitis, I will never again put off spaying (or neutering) one of my animals. Luckily, we as humans can learn from our mistakes, and better our future animals' lives. Try not to beat yourself up.

 

While this is an extremely unfortunate event and the OP has admitted fault for the entire situation I see no need to rub salt in the wounds. If you would all like to continue the spay/neuter debate please start a new thread, out of respect. Thanks.

My deepest condolences to you and Lincoln. Find peace as you remember her.
