Speed limit increase
After Illinois increased it speed limit to 70 miles per hour, Vos gave support to a bill, forwarded by Assemblyman Paul Tittl (R), that would increase Wisconsin's speed limit to 70 miles per hour. Tittl noted that Wisconsin was the sole state in the Midwest that still had a 65 miles per hour speed limit, despite the recent uptick of states increasing their speed limits. However, State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) said that the Senate did not plan to take up the issue any time soon, and Governor Scott Walker (R) has not taken a position on the bill.[3][4][5]
Budget, 2011
The 2011 budget battle in Wisconsin was particularly unusual and contentious. Gov. Scott Walker's bill faced opposition from Democrats and citizen protestors in Madison, Wisconsin. At 3 a.m. on June 15, 2011, the Assembly passed the bill.
At one point in the process, Democrats introduced a wide-reaching amendment that would restore funding to public schools while, in part, nixing provisions for expanding the school vouchers program. When they introduced this, speakers argued that Republicans were rewarding school-voucher proponents who made campaign contributions.
"I did not take the time to look at how much (the state teachers union Wisconsin Education Association Council) gave to all of you to guarantee that you would offer amendments like this," said Rep. Robin Vos in response.
Vos then said school districts beyond Milwaukee have problems — notably Racine, where Republicans hope to allow vouchers.
While Democrats called the budget an attack on middle-class families that includes $800 million in cuts to schools, Republicans say it is the first responsible budget in years.
"We said it's time for government to go on a diet, and that's exactly what we do in this budget," Vos said.[6]
Recall reform
On August 10, Vos (R) announced his intent to draft legislation that would amend the Wisconsin Constitution to clarify the reasons for recall.[7] In a quote given to the Wisconsin Reporter, Vos said, "Losing an election does not mean you count down days until you can recall somebody," and that "despising someone should not rise to the level of a recallable offense."[8]
In his press release, Vos said, "No longer should taxpayer dollars be wasted on unnecessary recall elections that were triggered by a vote that some special interest group didn't like. It undermines our democracy and wastes precious taxpayer dollars that are needed elsewhere."[7]
Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC), a business association with about 4,000 members, threw its support behind Vos' efforts. A statement on the organization's website outlined the group's position. "As we all know, uncertainty and political instability are not good for job creation. That's why WMC will be supporting recall reform in Wisconsin."[9]
Among those opposing the idea were Assembly Democratic Leader Peter Barca. Barca issued the following statement in an August press release:[10]
- "Floating this constitutional amendment the day after successful recall elections that held legislators accountable appears to indicate that Republicans are frightened that future actions to hold them accountable will also be successful. We must encourage and build on the amazing outpouring of public involvement in democracy that we have seen this year."
According to Article 13, section 12, the state constitution gives only these stipulations for recall:
- Legislators must have served at least one year to be eligible for recall
- To initiate a recall against a legislator, a recall petition needs to be signed by electors equaling at least twenty-five percent of the vote cast for the office of governor at the last preceding election, in the state, county or district which the incumbent represents
Under the constitution without the amendment, the state had no requirement for state level recall petitions to declare a reason why the targeted legislator should be recalled. A reason is currently required at the local level. Vos' amendment sought to unify the state and local requirements, thereby incorporating into state recall law a mandate requiring petitions to include a valid reason for recall.[7]
Vos's amendment passed the Assembly but did not pass the Senate. Representative Jim Steineke (R) introduced a similar amendment in 2013.[7][11]
Sponsored legislation
Legislation sponsored in 2009 includes:
- AB-120 State agency expenditures, contracts, and grants: DOA required to make available on a Web site
- AB-192 Highway construction or maintenance worker: intentionally causing bodily harm to made a felony
- AB-225 Mandatory minimum sentences for certain child sex crimes applied only if convicted person was under age 18

Milwaukee policing
Vos refuted Mayor of Milwaukee Tom Barrett's request for state funding to help combat crime in Milwaukee by implying that the city's current policing strategies needed to be more effective before state funds were contributed. Saying he was still open to the city's request for $500,000, Vos stated, "There's been a dramatic decline in the number of officers who are patrolling," adding "I think those are bad decisions that have been made by the city. ...I certainly don't want to exacerbate those, but we need to have them step up first. They have created a lot of these problems with the policies that have been implemented," according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In response, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn released a statement arguing that it was "obvious that Representative Vos has been intentionally misinformed." Flynn's office noted that there are fewer officer vacancies and more filled positions since Flynn arrived in 2007, and that violent crime is actually down.[16]

Pettiway Flies Men's Basketball Over Belmont Abbey with 104-89 Win; Big Showdown Awaits Monday
February 13, 2010
Story Courtesy of Belmont Abbey Sports Information
BELMONT, NC - In a game that featured five ties and eight lead changes, the Belmont Abbey men's basketball team's late surge fell short as the Pfeiffer Falcons moved to 15-7 overall and 11-5 in Conference Carolinas with a 104-89 win this evening at the Wheeler Center. The Abbey falls to 11-12 overall and 7-10 in Conference Carolinas.
Abbey guard Richard Barbee led all scorers with 28 points, eight rebounds, three steals and two assists. Senior guard Patrick Kuhlman added 13 points and five assists, and Jay Council contributed 12 points, three assists and two steals. Chad Patus finished with six points but had a game-high 12 rebounds and two steals. The Abbey shot 49.2 percent from the field.
Pfeiffer shot 49.3 percent as Jeff Pettiway led the way with 26 points, one of five Falcons to reach double figures, while Davon Gilliard and James Crowder both added 16. Chris Woods poured in 11 points and a team-high seven rebounds, while James Morse contributed ten points.
The Abbey led for most of the first half, building its lead to as high as seven points at 25-18 with 10:45 left, but a 16-7 Pfeiffer run gave the Falcons a lead they would never relinquish for the rest of the half. The Falcons built their lead to as high as six, but an Abbey run chopped the deficit to one at 44-43 with 35 ticks left, but a Gilliard layup with one second left moved the lead to three at 46-43 at the half.
Belmont Abbey opened the final 20 minutes on a 7-2 run to reclaim the lead at 52-50, but the Falcons scored six unanswered points to regain the lead they would never lose again. Their advantage grew to as high as 15 points, and the Abbey could not close to any fewer than ten points the rest of the way as Pfeiffer went on to win by 15, 104-89.
The Falcons return to their home court on Monday night for a showdown with first-place Mount Olive. Pfeiffer will tip with the Trojans at 7:30 p.m.

Victory Quotes, Sayings about winning
The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never wanders, the purpose that never wavers – these are the masters of victory.
– Edmund Burke
You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. Send your words out in the direction you want your life to go.
When you lose, lose with dignity. When you win, win with dignity too.
No sacrifice no victory.
We learn little from victory, much from defeat.
– Japanese Proverb
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
– Josh Billings
With every victory comes a price.
The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning!
The person that said winning isn't everything never won anything.
Winning doesn't always mean being first, winning means you're doing better than you've than before.
To gain victory in life you need determination and focus.
Pain is only temporary victory lasts forever.
Pain is temporary, but winning is forever! <3 soccer <3.
If you can accept losing, you can't win.
– Vince Lombardi
If you win, you need not have to explain…If you lose, you should not be there to explain!
– Adolf Hitler
History is written by the winners.
– Napoleon Bonaparte
The victor of a fight isn't necessarily the winner of the public.
The greatest victory is one without conflict.
Victory lasts only through the life time, but excellence lasts forever.
Victory only comes to those who want it the most, so be the one to want it the most and you surely will always get it.
You'll never win unless you play.
You either win or have excuses.
Compete as if you're in front & train as if you're behind.
Better to work hard to the full of your strength and lose than being a lazy winner.
We may get knocked down on the outside, but the key to living in victory is to learn how to get up on the inside.

Cook CountyJury Overview
Thousands of times each week in state and federal courts around the country, petit juries reach verdicts in civil or criminal cases. These citizens perform a vital function in our system of justice—jury duty. A group of six to 12 persons from all sections of the community listen to the facts of a case and come to a verdict.
The Trial
Courts exist to decide disputes which are brought before them. Generally, the courts hear two types of cases:criminal cases and civilcases. A civil case is usually one for money damages. The party suing is called the plaintiff or petitioner and the party against whom the action is brought is the defendant or respondent. In a criminal case, the prosecutor decides whether to file charges against a person accused of breaking the law. The person charged with the crime is called the defendant. In criminal cases, the jury will have to decide whether a defendant is guilty or not guilty of the crime(s) of which he or she is accused.
In most trial courts there are court officers known as the court reporter, court clerk and bailiff. Thecourt reporter acts as the record keeper, theclerk administers the oath and assists with jury selection and the bailiff maintains order and decorum in the courtroom. The judge presides over a case, instructs the jury and decides questions of law.
Selection of Jurors
Once a year, a computer merges the county's driver license list, voter registration list, and Minnesota identification cardholders into one list. From this list, by random selection, jurors are chosen and sent a summons to appear for jury duty.
When the juror reports to the jury assembly room at the courthouse, court personnel will provide orientation and instructions. Following orientation, jurors will go to the courtroom to go through the jury selection process. Jurors will be provided information about the case and questioned by the court and the lawyers for each side. If during questioning, it appears that a juror cannot be fair and impartial, the attorney maychallenge the juror for cause. The judge decides whether the juror would not be able to serve. If the judge allows the challenge, the juror is excused from that case. Another type of challenge is the peremptory challenge.The peremptory challenge requires no reason for excusing a juror. Jurors not excused and seated will comprise the jury. Jurors are sworn in and then are responsible to hear the evidence and follow the case to completion of trial.

Vought XF4U-4 'Corsair'
Photo courtesy William Maloney
A premier World War II carrier-based and ground support fighter of the U.S. Navy and Marines, the "Corsair" combined the most powerful engine of the period with the smallest possible airframe. Corsairs were produced by the Vought Aircraft Division of United Aircraft in Stratford, CT. The first prototype was flown on May 29, 1940. In an early trial it flew a speed course from Stratford to Hartford at 405 mph.
Corsairs saw service in the war with Japan and through the Korean conflict, and also served in reserve and foreign air forces into the 1970's. The unique gull-wing design helped strengthen the landing gear and provided clearance for a 13-foot, four-bladed propeller.
This example is a pre-production prototype, the third of 2,356 F4U-4's built. It was used in armament tests and stored until it joined the Museum's collection.

Travel Photography in Guatemala: Some Things to Know From the Pro on the Go
I have been a pro shooter for more than 20 years and recently had the chance to travel to Guatemala to photograph for GoNomad. I fell in love with Guatemala. It is a rich and diverse country full of opportunity for the traveler /photographer. You can meet the wonderful Mayan people.
See the outstanding landscape doted with active volcanoes as well as the great archeological sites like Tikal. Or visit one of the quaint Spanish colonial towns like Antigua or the magnificent Lake Atitlan.
Gear. What to bring and how to get it there....and back.
When I travel I always have to balance the conflict between everything I want to bring if I could and the reality of having to lug it all around with me on the trip. I try to think of what I will be shooting and what I need to accomplish it. I travel with more than the casual traveler but what I bring might give you some ideas of how to think about your own gear.
To shoot or not to shoot,that is the question
For others it is a shield that can keep them apart from ever getting close, and can blind them. I always feel that unless it's a news assignment, the manner in which I conduct myself, the people I meet and and the experiences I have are far more important than the images I make of them.
Secondly there has been a persistent rumor that foreigners come to Guatemala to steal children and primarily it was because of an incredibly stupid move by the tourist that was killed.
Chichicastengo is a beautiful market town located in the Altiplano mainly inhabited by Quiche indians.
In the morning I set out to photograph the market. For a brief hour or so I felt like I had it to myself. People were getting their stalls ready, eating, shopping. It was a beautiful day and I had some great conversations with people in my limited Spanish, a few funny moments and made some fine images.

Landim's Hat Trick Not Enough; Limestone Converts 2 PK's in Crucial 5-4 win over Men's Soccer
October 28, 2009
GAFFNEY, S.C.— The Limestone College men's soccer team defeated Pfeiffer University 5-4 in Conference Carolinas action on Wednesday. The Saints improve to 8-2 in the league and 11-4 overall. The Falcons fall to 7-2 in conference play and 12-4 overall.
Keegan Ziada (Melbourne, Australia) and Ali Benson (Hull, England) accounted for Limestone's goals. Benson had a hat trick while Ziada scored twice and tallied an assist. Pfeiffer's Alex Landim (Brockton, Mass.) also had a hat trick.
Pfeiffer kicked off the scoring with a goal by Landim in the 15th minute. Ziada equalized for the Saints five minutes later, but Pfeiffer took the lead again with a goal from Kash Knight (Gibsonville, N.C.) at 29:37. Limestone fought back to gain the 3-2 advantage at halftime after goals from Benson in the 37th and 42nd minutes.
Landim scored his second goal of the game only minutes after the start of the second half, but Benson came through for the Saints again as he scored to give Limestone the 4-3 lead. Landim made things interesting with his final goal in the 72nd minute to tie the score at 4-4. Limestone kept the pressure on Pfeiffer in the waning minutes of the game, and the Saints' hard work paid off when Myles Jackson (Baltimore, Md.) passed the ball from the left side of the box to Ziada, who scored the game-winning goal at the 84:09 mark.
Limestone goalkeeper Mark Davidson (Middlesex, England) had six saves for the match while Pfeiffer's Daniel Latasa (Jacksonville, Fla.) had seven.
Limestone outshot the Falcons 21-14. Both squads had four corner kicks.
Pfeiffer hosts Lees-McRae on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Misenheimer, N.C.

Sometimes when you're driving along and you see some school kids trying to attract you to bring your car to the makeshift car wash they've assembled to raise money for gymnastics, or JV football or Boy Scouts...you want to stop and tell them that nobody can read a sign written in pencil when they're driving past it at 30 mph. Researchers at MIT are focusing on the same thing. They're looking at how much time it takes us to read our own dashboard displays. And they believe that tenths of a second can mean the difference between driver safety and potential distraction consequences.In recent tests, researchers with MIT's AgeLab have found that dashboard displays using the more open and differentiated lettering found in the...

You have flatfeet when the arch on the inside of your feet is flattened, allowing the entire sole of your foot to touch the floor when you stand up.
A common and usually painless condition, flatfeet may occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. In other cases, flatfeet may develop after an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age.
Flatfeet can sometimes contribute to problems in your ankles and knees because the condition can alter optimal alignment of your legs. If you aren't experiencing any pain, no treatment is usually necessary for flatfeet.
Most people have no signs or symptoms associated with flatfeet. But some people with flatfeet experience foot pain, particularly in the heel or arch area. Swelling along the inside of the ankle may also occur.
Talk to your doctor if you or your child is experiencing foot pain.
A flat foot is normal in infants and toddlers, because the foot's arch hasn't yet developed. Most people's arches develop throughout childhood, but some people never develop arches. This is a normal variation in foot type, and people without arches may or may not have problems.
Arches can also fall over time. Years of wear and tear can weaken the tendon that runs along the inside of your ankle and helps support your arch.
Factors that can increase your risk of flatfeet include:
If your feet are causing you significant pain, your family doctor may refer you to a doctor specializing in foot disorders (podiatrist) or sports medicine.
When you go to your appointment, wear your everyday shoes because the doctor may want to look at the wear patterns on the soles. Before the appointment, you may want to write down answers to the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor will observe your feet from the front and the back and ask you to stand on your toes so he or she can view the mechanics of your feet. He or she may also want to look at the wear pattern on your shoes.
If you're having a lot of pain in your feet, your doctor may order tests such as:
No treatment is necessary for flatfeet if you aren't experiencing any pain.
If your flatfeet are painful, your doctor might suggest:
Surgery is not performed solely for the purpose of correcting flat feet. Surgery may be performed for an associated problem such as a tendon tear or rupture.
If you're experiencing minor pain from flatfeet, you might want to try:

Industry glitterati have stuffed $26 million in the pockets of Shape Security, a start-up promising to deliver a mysterious new kind of web protection that will make it harder and pricier for hackers to ply their trade.
The company says the number of large-scale web security incidents has increased exponentially in the past decade. Symantec estimates the overall cybercrime market at $388 billion a year. Last month the FBI took down a single botnet that alone stole over $850 million.
Ray Rothrock, a partner in Venrock, the pioneering high-tech venture capital firm started by the Rockefellers and led the new $20 million B round in Shape, said, "The rise of botnets and crimeware-as-a-service have led to an untenable situation where web sites are now cheap to attack and expensive to defend. Shape's technology will alter this balance. It is unlike anything the industry has ever seen before."
Also participating in the round were Kleiner Perkins, Allegis Capital, Google Ventures, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt's personal VC arm TomorrowVentures and former Symantec CEO Enrique Salem.
Last April Shape closed a $6 billion A round led by Kleiner and including TomorrowVentures, Google Ventures, Baseline Ventures and top executives from Dropbox, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
The start-up is being fairly closed-mouth about its self-proclaimed military-grade widgetry. Salem, who figures "signature and heuristic-based detection have proven unsuccessful in keeping pace with the complexity of modern web attacks," said Shape's technology "will allow web sites to deflect attacks automatically, using a far more sophisticated approach." Apparently the hacker would be forced to compromise a web site every time a user logs on instead of reusing a stolen identity.
Evidently the widgetry has been in beta at unidentified customers sites assumed to include large financial institutions who sound like they want Shape to hurry up and productize the stuff - hence the B round. It could have a software appliance out later this year.
The start-up was founded in 2011 by CEO Derek Smith, CTO Justin Call and VP of product management Sumit Agarwal. Agarwal was the head of mobile product at Google and worked at the Defense Department. The company has also added Google's former click fraud boss, Cisco's former VP of application delivery and Wal-Mart's ex-chief information security officer.
The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ryan Bagnulo, Solution Architect / Software Engineer at SOA Software, focused on desi...

While great strides have been made relative to the video aspects of remote collaboration, audio technology has basically stagnated. Typically all audio is mixed to a single monaural stream and emanates from a single point, such as a speakerphone or a speaker associated with a video monitor. This leads to confusion and lack of understanding among participants especially regarding who is actually speaking. Spatial teleconferencing introduces the concept of acoustic spatial separation between conference participants in three dimensional space. This has been shown to significantly improve comprehe...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Duke went to N.C. State last weekend with an unbeaten record and got tripped up.
Four area teams who have yet to lose in league play will try to avoid a similar fate tonight.
Kinston's boys and girls teams and boys teams from North Lenoir and South Lenoir are each perfect in conference play and each one will be in action. The Vikings and Blue Devils host Greene Central and Croatan, respectively, while the Hawks travel to Clayton Cleveland.
North Lenoir (9-7, 4-0 Eastern Carolina 3A) is coming off an 83-73 win at Eastern Wayne on Friday.
The win put the Hawks into a tie for first with Erwin Triton (13-2, 4-0) in a league they have yet to finish better than fourth since moving up a classification in 2009.
North Lenoir, which is on a three-game winning streak, knows that anything can happen in conference play and isn't letting Cleveland's record of 4-11 overall, 1-3 in league play, factor into its preparation.
"This conference is tough, from top to bottom, especially on the road," second-year Hawks coach Anthony Loftin said.
"This is a big week for us with two games on the road. To win this conference you have to show you can win on the road, and Cleveland is a tough place to play."
Since becoming a member of the EC3A beginning with the 2009-10 school year, North Lenoir has made the state playoffs just once when it finished the regular season in fourth place in 2011 to earn the league's final playoff berth.
This year, just making the playoffs isn't the goal. The Hawks want to go out as conference champions.
"We have to play defense, don't take none of this (success) to the head because we can be beat, and just stay focused," junior guard Jauquaz Jones said.
"We want to win the conference."
While North Lenoir is trying to win its 3A conference title for the first time, Kinston's boys are vying for a seventh consecutive championship and the girls are looking to go back-to-back-to-back.
Up tonight for the Vikings is a Greene Central girls team that has made some noise this season after going winless a season ago.
Kinston (12-4, 5-0 Eastern Plains 2A), which won the title last season outright after finishing tied for first with Wilson Beddingfield in 2011, may be unbeaten in the conference, but the Rams (7-9, 3-1) hold second place all to themselves.
"We're going to have to play smart," Vikings coach Hubert Quinerly said. "(The Rams) have some good players and they like to get out and run. We're going to have to be ready."
South Lenoir's boys hold the East Central 2A lead all to themselves and host a Croatan team that came within a win of advancing to the regionals last season.
The Cougars (12-2, 3-2) won their first 10 games of the season before being defeated by Jacksonville Northside and Clinton in consecutive games.
The Blue Devils (9-4, 5-0) are on a six-game win streak and haven't lost since falling to North Lenoir on Dec. 14.
Kinston's boys (12-2, 5-0), tied for second with Burlington Cummings in the latest NCPreps.com statewide 2A media poll, will face a Greene Central squad still searching for its first league win.
The Rams are 3-12 overall and have lost four in a row.

The New Bern-Craven County Public Library presents "Fannin' The Heat Away…A Celebration of the Art and Social History of the Handheld Church Fan" on Saturday at the Johnson Street library.
The free program features William McNeill, who lives in Elizabethtown. McNeill collects handheld fans, gathered from churches and funeral homes and businesses of all kinds. And, he has the history that goes with them.
The 2 p.m. program is free, with refreshments.
This project is made possible by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
McNeill, who has given upwards of 80 programs on the fans, uses a digital projector, plays the piano and sings during the program.
"I do not use notes, so my rapport with the audience is intimate and sometimes improvisatory," he said.
He said the program provides a valuable gift — happy memories of things past.
McNeill said he did not begin collecting with the idea of displaying the fans any place other than on a wall in his house.
"In my weekend getaway in downtown Wilmington, a seaport, I displayed a collection of handheld advertising fans with the nautical theme of 18th century clipper ships," he said. "At my primary residence, an old farm house, I have displayed groups of fans bearing religious images and framed by bundles of hand-tied tobacco, another artifact of my past."
He said there are multiple reasons he began collecting.
"What attracted me to the fans, besides the warm earth colors, typical of advertisements of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, was a sense of wonderment and mystery," he said. "I want the public to experience the mystery I feel when I look at religious art, and I want the religious images to trigger memories of Christ's life, His parables, and other stories from the Bible."
He said he tells the Christian story through art.
"I believe my collection of religiously themed fans may cause viewers to ponder the significance religious imagery and instruction has had on their lives," he said.
McNeill's last slide shows the old saying about the power of the fan.
"I stand with a fan in my hand, fanning the audience, and say, 'An old Southern saying tells us that when you fan someone you throw a blessing.'" He said. "I bless you all — each and every one of you — both now and forever more."

Cat Pregnancy
While it is highly recommended that all cats be spayed and neutered, cat pregnancy does happen. Cat pregnancy lasts approximately 65 days in which time you need to be extra vigilant about your cat's safety. Be extra sure to clean her litter box daily, speak to your veterinarian about the best diet for a pregnant cat, and try to make sure she stays indoors. Veterinary check-ups are also recommended for pregnant cats.
Caring for your Pregnant Cat
Pregnancy for all animals requires a lot of energy. If a cat is carrying a large litter, she may have some problems grooming herself. For this reason, you may need to groom her more often than usual. Brush her regularly to make sure there is no dirt or debris building up in her fur. Also, you will need to clean her backside with a warm, damp cloth. Some cats will not be keen on this extra help, but for her health and safety it is important.
During the last 2 weeks of pregnancy, you need to pay close attention to your cat. Some signs that birth will occur soon include a drop of temperature of about 1°C (her normal temperature is 38.6°C); restless behaviour as she is searching for a suitable place for labour; and milk production from her nipples. When labour begins, cats will purr regularly and breath heavily and labour can take anywhere from one to several hours.
Cat Labour
The following are some tips to follow during when your cat is actually giving birth. First of all, if your cat is having contractions (indicated by heavy breathing and regular purring) for more than 2 hours without actually birthing kittens, you should call your vet. This could indicate some problems with birth and may put the litter at risk. Eventually however, if all things are going as planned, the first kitten will be delivered. Usually, kittens will come out in what appears to be a fluid-filled bag. The bag should burst on its own and the mother will start cleaning the kitten.
Typically, the mother cat will bite through the umbilical cord herself. If this isn't the case, you should cut the cord yourself with a pair of sterilized scissors. The easiest way to sterilize the scissors is in a dishwasher. If you decide you need to cut the cord (only after the next kitten is delivered and the cord from the first is intact), you will need to tie off the cord between the cat and the kitten and gently cut it.
In addition, a placenta should be delivered after each kitten. The mother cat will usually eat the placenta. If the placenta is not delivered, this can put the adult cat at serious risk of infection. You should contact a veterinarian in this case.
After the birth and the mother has finished cleaning, lay the kitten next to its mother's tits. Normally, the kitten will start to suckle.
Provided there are no complications, the mother cat should recover quite well on her own. If you notice the cat bleeding excessively or placentas have not been delivered, contact your vet immediately as the health of your adult cat may be at risk.
