Duchess is starting a heat cycle! How can this be??? I am in shock. 8O
I just went through this with Mi Mi so I know she is.
She is chirping, purring, calling, excessive grooming, and sticking her little bum up in the air. I keep telling her Mi Mi is female and cannot help her in her situation. 8O Today she does not want me to touch her.
Same as Mi Mi was! I just thought this was toooo young for this! 8O

Thank You guys for following my thread......I think I would be more of a basket case without you all! :eek:
Duchess is at the vets office. I took her this morning, she was a good kitty and left them a stool....they have called me and her stool results are perfectly normal. I know I am having urine issues....but I wanted to check anyways. They are waiting for her bladder to fill up so they can either squeeze some out or pee in the box and they have the non-absorbing litter. I am chewing fingernails waiting for them to call me.....the vet is going to check her nipples and also see if she looks swollen at all....if in fact she is entering her first heat cycle....
I asked for another opinion for a age estimate...they have several vets at the office.....so now I jsut wait for the phone to ring.

P.S. Arguing with Hubby a little over vet bills.....Poop on him! :(

Ahhh, good news!

So now, why not just have her allowed to roam only a few rooms? Is there some way to re-introduce the dog to her so that the dog won't bug her? I wish I would have known back when Jessi was a kitten!

Reintroduce with positive reinforcement.. we need some doggie books to look at. I used to have one.. mumble...

At least you are starting when she is little!! :D There is a plus on your side!

Just because her swollen areas cannot be in my imagination...
I am going to ask him AGAIN when I go to pick her up.
I cant be totally insane??? (well.....)
We are going to get her after my daughter comes home from school.
Maybe all cats are different.....but Mi Mi's dont feel that way.

You know, this will sound funny BUT.. everytime i kiss or brush Marsh's tummy, i feel his nipples. He's a MALE, mind you. They're realy pronounced, like little grains of kuskus or small rice grains. There's NOTHING wrong with him, but it's just 'there'. :) Hope that makes you feel better. he's white, btw, and you can see them clearly, because teh nipples are bright pink. the first time i saw them (nipples), i did think he was either female (the breeder didn't know what she was doing?!? LOL) or something was wrong with him LOL

Aayla....I agree! Rarepuss cat has the prettiest eyes on the forum....
Oh and Padunks Siamese cat too... :D

Guess what.........I already found a home for Duchess.
I told the lady everything up front and honest and she still wants her.
Here is what she had to say about the urine issues:
And no I'm not to worried about the urine thing..I have a very good vet that took great care of Ayaka and there for my Vet would remain the same.
That is just abit of our correspondance throughout the day today.
We have been back and forth all day....here is some more:
That sounds great...
I would love to give your kitty a loving and spoiled home..
Either way, still contact me back so we could talk about this some more and go from there.
She sure is a cutie and I can promise you she would get a great home.
And if it all works out I'd hope you would still keep in contact with me to
give you updates on how she's doing and to send you pictures of her growing up. Thanks Again....
Basically where we are at right now is arranging transport from Wisconsin to Kansas. :)

thanks! yeah, there was another member from sweden with two siamese cats, their eyes were one of the prettiest as well. Marsh's eyes actually got more yellow and deep as he grew. He's now a year, and the picture in my avatar is of him at about 5 month. You can see how his eyes were almost brown then, and now very, very yellow :p
