They wouldn't take this past March's application deadline, would they? I'm in a state of limbo about something else, similarly exciting. We adopted a stray at the end of January. Recently, her belly has started to protrude noticeably. You know where this is going! We think she could be pregnant, but we're not sure (and we are resisting the $200 pregnancy test from the vet). If she is knocked up, it would had to have happened prior to us taking her in; in that case, we would only have another few weeks left before kittens arrive. Yikes! Or, she could just be getting fat.

OP Kriston Member Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 6,145 Midwest	Nope, nothing for us either. <sad face> And $200 for a pregnancy test for a cat? That's insane. In grad school, my nutty then-boyfriend of mine adopted a pregnant cat without knowing she was preggers when he lived in a place that didn't allow pets. (Yes, get the laughter and teasing out of your systems...go on...okay? Shall I continue?) Guess who took car of the cat and delivered the litter? Anyway, the vet just palpated her tummy and could tell she was "with kitten." Can't your vet do that? Kriston

I use clumping litter for my geriatric feline. Now I'm envisioning the "clumping action" on a stick test. I'm easily distracted. I should be reading for school.
