another cat question

[dems4me]

Is there a test out there (aside from x-ray) that can let you know if a cat is pregnant or not? I have one slated to get fixed by lucky ones and I just want to make sure she's not pregnant. Is there a dipstick test or something for cats??? Something cheap but reliable???

Feel her belly. If she's pregnant she'll be full of lumps. The vet SHOULD do a physical on her before he starts cutting. He should be able to tell.

Well this is Lucky Ones doing they spaying -- they told me that there was no way they could tell until it was too late and they were aborted. The female has put on a lot of weight but it was a stray so I wanted to make sure the weight wasn't from me coddling and spoiling it rotten instead of babies. Thanks Pix

Do they really excrete the same hormones that a pregant women excretes or am I doing all of this for an experiement??? Is that how you test your females??

Yes they produce horomones when pregnant as any animal does...make sure you get plenty of pee on it so it will be accurate. Let me know...good luck

Any suggestions on how I should collect the sample from your experience??? Do I just take the dipstick to her backside or something???

Take a picture of Kerry and flash it at the cat while holding a cup under the backside. That should scare the pee out of it.

I think you have been doing the pregnancy test wrong if you have been using a stool sample.

Not very funny, but to liven your evening until I can get some free time -- say 3 or 4 hours from now -- I've muddied up your thread regarding unemployment -- just for you
