Hi Everyone!
I'm back with two new female fosters on pregnancy watch (Lucy & Blanche). I'm writing bc yesterday I noticed Lucy was rumble-strutting (at least that's what internet said that noise is called). I looked it up and the info I could find is that it happens when a female is in heat with a male nearby. My question is: would a female rumble-strut even without a male nearby? Or do I need to worry that one of them is male? The other thing is Lucy has very steadily been gaining weight so I'm pretty sure she is pregnant (Lucy was 680g on 01/01 and was 806g on 02/08) so she shouldn't be in heat. Unless that amount of fast weight gain is normal. Her intake paperwork says she is 9 months (this is of course the shelter's best guess). By comparison Blanche was 790g on 01/01 and 865g on 02/09.
Thanks for any insights from this amazing group of knowledgeable folks. Don't know what I'd do without you all!
PS: for those who may remember, this group gave me amazing advice with my previous foster, Mojo, and her three babies (Pico, Mico, Taco). The whole family ended up doing great and they all got adopted. Yay!
