My theory is that she kicks that leg up whenever she sits down because it helps release the pressure on her abdomen and is more comfortable. I don’t know if that’s true, though. She just might be showing off her foot… or trying to clean her back end. (She cannot reach her back end and doesn’t like it when I try to clean it off for her, but I still do it about once a day because… well, it needs it.)
Guilty little face.
With her feets up in the air like that, she strongly resembles a dead armadillo.
Pressing that dot doesn’t get you kittens, FYI. She’s apparently NOT a vending machine.

That wire rack has been next to my desk for years, holding my computer, printer, and a whole host of other things. I finally decided I needed something with doors (so that kittens couldn’t dig through all the junk I stash there), and once I had a replacement I decided to move this out to the back porch and see if the cats would use it if I put a bed on each level. Turns out, they will – as illustrated by Archie. They’ll use the top and bottom levels, but I’ve never seen anyone on the middle level.

Wow! Canasta looks like she could pop at any moment! I don’t remember your mommas the last few years getting that big.
Maybe you could compare preggo pics to see who was huge and who wasn’t. An idea, in case you had some time on your hands. 😉
Would you believe I actually have the pictures all ready to put together into a collage, I just wanted to get an updated shot of Canasta but she’s snoozing comfortably and I don’t wanna wake her up?
I mean, maybe I SHOULD wake her up. I don’t sleep well these days, why should she? 🙂
Do you have your night camera up and running? How is she during the night? Is she getting restless?
And yes, she’ll probably have her kittens in the early morning hours of Thursday, right before you have to leave for your appointment. It always happens that way!
I found a diaper changing station for free, I brought it home. Eventually I will make a triple bunk bed and donate it to a local shelter. I found the foam recently for it so I’m getting closer to getting it finished. Hoping to get it done and get it into use. I’m watching daily for the babies to come…
She is huge!! (I had a table/stand just like that and I put it out on the street for free — can’t take everything north — )
Oh, c’mon Canasta. Have them already!
Love, your fans.
I have a three level cat tree downstairs in front of my kitchen window, and my cats only will sleep on the top and bottom too! The middle level has never been used
I wonder if it’s because the middle level is too close to the top and bottom levels.
“Pressing the dot…” Hahahahahha
That girl had better get those babies O-U-T before she bursts!!
Oh my… that girl is RO-TUND now. She probably can’t even control that leggie, I bet it just does its own thing now. <3
I think your theory about the leg lift is correct. I had a male do this constantly when he was having bladder issues, it allowed him to relieve pressure off his full bladder.
I remember being that pregnant. It is not fun! Come on, girl, your kittens really do want to come out before you pop!
I think Canasta will have at least 7 kittens!
I just saw the pics of the preggo momma cats on FB and I’m thinkin’ she’ll have at least 5, maybe 6.
So have ’em already!
Apparently that rack does not meet THEIR social distancing need!
Just checking in for kittens for the 537th time today… *sigh*
Might try a cardboard box with an opening on that middle shelf.
Robyn – I just got my auction package, and my cat went nuts over the fabric toy. He has never really cared about catnip. What special nip was that? He’s never done that before!
