Oh no laundry day

Pua's nipples now '10

Why are we looking at Pua nipples. Well why not, lol. The first were here "teen boobies" and the other is now. The other reason is we do not know if the attempt to get Pua pregnant at the end of September was a success or not.

I feel her signs so far are inconclusive.

She did not have her obvious monthly spotting but sometimes we seem to miss that.

She showed interest in her self soon as Mandua left and enjoyed her own company for a few days. This was a week early if it was from her being in Estrus/heat. She showed a tiny bit of interest in herself the 27th which would have been on time but that was it. Maybe she's just having fun or her hormones might be funky if she's pregnant.

I her belly is bigger and firmer but she is also a pound heavier than last weigh at 17 pounds so could just be her winter weight.

Now if you look at the pinching photos you can see a stain on her private bits there. This happens from time to time and I figured collected pee staining or vaginal secretions. Well she's had that every night since before Mandua left and I looked at some under the scope to see if was estrus fluid and only saw epithelial cells, no blood. They were orange, apparently stained by her pee. So could be increased vaginal fluids due to early pregnancy or could just be nothing.

So we will have to wait and see if she has any signs of cycling the end of November as if we are still unsure an ultrasound should show something at 2 months. Seems we could test for progesterone based on the one study but the hormones didn't spike enough until 2 months either.

Oh yeah so nipples. In cats the "pink up" but seems to me hers have had that white/pink tip for a long time even though not in her teeny boobies photo.

So the short version, nothing to report here.


And now, Jake is about a year old as we got him end of last November at about 3 months. He's a big boy now.
