I posted on another site a bit ago that I was open to taking in a new bird. A man contacted me, said he had a bird that needed a home due to lifestyle changes. I have birds so I asked him all the important questions: plucking, vetted, how long he had him. He told me he had him vetted when he first got him two years ago. It was a one bird home and that his only problem was volume. He told me there was no plucking. I said fine, I would take him. I figured it would be a 30 day quarantine at the end have him vetted. When I went to pick him up his feathers looked a messy underneath. I asked about it, he said he hadnt been bathing him. It was late, came home, set up cage, tucked him into bed. The next morning (a week friday) I bathed him. He's bald under the "Fluff", he's been plucking. I wasnt expecting a 400 dollar vet bill right now. I just spent 500 vetting the ones here. That depleted my vet fund. I feel like I was lied to so I would take him. Should I take him back?

I think my kitty is now in early labor. She has nested in the closet and I have put a blankie in there with a heating pad on one side. She has loss of apetite and is taking water if I offer it but she isnt seeking it out. I'm a little worried because she doesnt want to walk, or acts like walking is painful to her. Is this just part of the labor process for this kitty?

Is this normal in some cats?

I have had one other kitty in my life give birth and she followed me everywhere she went during labor. I literally had to sit with her and hold her paw for her ot have them, so that is the only thing I have to judge by. This behavoir in this kitty just seems odd to me.
