Joy looking away from me in annoyance. While she get annoyed by the tomcats, she was quick to accept the cute human kitten.
Ugh, can't beleaf dis "momb" lady. Hooman kitten wuz crying and momb wouldn't pick her up. Some lame excuse about eeting food. Gave her da most bombastic side eye I could. But later momb did hold hooman kitten. Points, I guess.

Kittens! Squeeeeeeee #kittenWatch
The new mama-to-be getting used to her maternity suite.
Oh, and she has a white blaze on her chest!

A black cat in a carrier
And #Kittenwatch begins anew as we head home w/ this beautiful void!
A vet has examined her & says she *is* preggers. Her milk bar certainly suggested it when I picked her up to put in our carrier.
Feel free to comment w/ your guesses for due date & number of #kittens !

#Kittenwatch the finale:
The verdict is in!
Harley is just chonky.
What's more, she had already been spayed. No scar when they shaved her bellah, so they had to open her up.
So we definitely know that not only are there no buns in her oven, but the bakery done closed up shop.
1/x
#Kittenwatch day 26:
Harley is at the vet today, where they will shave her bellah and check for a spay scar. If they don't find one, it's spay day.
So I'm sitting here, waiting to hear what's up.
For now, enjoy this adorable video of Harley cuddling her sleep mat last night.

#Kittenwatch day 25:
Harley says it's not a con. She's gone up a whole half inch since we last measured her bellah!
She's now at 18.5".
Yeah, you still ain't had no bebahs, girl, and no pinking up, so you're going to the vet tomorrow. Expect to get yeeterussed.

A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws lying on her back, half under a two-story metal cat condo.
#Kittenwatch day 25:
Harley has now moved on to a new grift -- faking being hit by an out-of-control cat condo so she'll need to stay here to recover.
#cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws lying on a desk and looking off to the right. She's surrounded by computers and monitors.
#Kittenwatch day 24:
No bebahs, but plenty of purrs when I picked her up and held her.
And then she wanted food. Despite the fact that she already had food in not one, but TWO bowls.
She really is a sweetheart.
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws sits on a gray mat in front of a window. She doesn't even look pregnant anymore. We're pretty sure we got conned. But that's okay. She's sweet.
#Kittenwatch day 23
Oh, come on. Who are we kidding? You know there were no bebahs today.
#Cats #AnimalRescue

Cat paw prints on a dark computer monitor. Apparently Harley thought it was a touch screen. It is not.
A patched tabby cat's stomach. It is round and furry and shows no sign of "pinking up", which normally occurs within 3 weeks of a cat becoming pregnant as her body prepares for feeding kittens.
#Kittenwatch day 22:
Concerned that we have caught on to her clever scheme, Harley moves to plan B -- become indispensable as an office assistant.
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws looking at the camera with an "Uh oh!" expression.
#Kittenwatch day 21:
That's right, Miss Harley Davidson Vampire Motorcycle Da Nomma. It's been three weeks since you got here. Three weeks, and no bebahs.
More importantly, three weeks, and no "milk bar" prepping. No pinking. No fur thinning. No nada.
1/x
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws standing up and looking to the right. She has a tiny blep going on. If you look at her hips, you can see how her belly sticks out.
#KittenWatch day 20:
Still no bebahs.
Bellah still at 18".
And still lies by the door waiting for Chad to return every time he leaves.
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws looking up at the camera expectantly. A bowl on a mat behind her clearly has some food left in it, but because she can see the bottom, the cat is convinced the bowl is empty and needs to be refilled.
#KittenWatch day 19:
No bebahs yet.
Harley also says no food in her bowl. She would like that addressed ASAP.
#Cats #AnimalRescue

The wait continues...
(The arfpnc.com rescue team estimated Harley was three weeks out when we got her, so we're still within that timeframe.)
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle, chest, and paws, standing up and looking at the camera with her tongue out. She's thin at the hips, thin at the shoulders, and as round as a soccer ball in the middle.

Harley is all about that blep, 'bout that blep, 'bout that blep. All about that blep -- no bebahs (yet).
#Cats #AnimalRescue

#Kittenwatch day 13:
No bebahs yet, but Harley's bellah has grown a whole inch since Saturday! She's up to 18" now. 😲
When asked for comment, she said, "Blep."
Also, "Gimme food."

#Kittenwatch day 11:
Still no bebahs
But! We have a name for mama: Harley.
Her bebahs will be the motorcycle litter, thanks to us having just watched the movie I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle.
Also, we measured her bellah. It's 17" around. That's a big bellah!
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A patched tabby cat with white muzzle and paws lying on a light gray cat bed on top of a wood and glass filing cabinet by a window. Her front legs are stretched out like she's flying. Her belly is so big that she has to lay on her side.
#Kittenwatch day 9:
No bebahs, so mama cat is working on her superhero skills.
Here you can see her practicing flying.
I mean, it's hard to get airborne with dat bellah, but her pose is on point!
#Cats #AnimalRescue

#Kittenwatch day 8:
You guessed it -- still no bebahs.
But she scarfed FOUR cans of mushy food in AN HOUR!!! 😲
Either she's preggers, or her stomach is a black hole with a massive gravitational pull.

Day 7: We are now one week into #Kittenwatch, and still no bebahs.

#Kittenwatch day 6:
Still no bebahs.
BUT!
Mama cat is breathing really hard and purring, soooo.... Maybe soon?
Chad's back to work this week, so he'll be in there to keep an eye on things.
(Vacation never lasts long enough, does it? Even when it's a staycation.)
#Cats #AnimalRescue
A pregnant patched tabby cat with a white muzzle looks up at someone out of frame. A zebra-striped toy mouse is on the floor in front of her. Since it's not edible, she has no interest in it.
#Kittenwatch day 5:
Chad's office is still sporting a population of 1.
Unless you count the toy mouse. Which I don't. And, since it's not edible, neither does mama cat.
