Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[bexbex]

Wendy has been broody for 6 weeks now!

I kick her out of the coop every morning and evening so she gets food and she's in great condition to say she hasn't had day light for so long! lol

She is mite free (touch loads of wood!) and so I'm ok with letting her sit it out as she's done 6 weeks of it already..

Anyone how myuch longer she could go on for? I was under the impression that they were broody for 3 weeks and snapped out of it ha

Thanks

I'd borrow a dog crate if I were you and put her in it for 3 days or so. It is the best way of snapping them out of it. Being broody for 6 weeks will make her lose condition, and vulnerable to red mite etc.

I remember when my Honey was broody, must have lasted around 2 months silly girl.

Make sure you regularly clean out the nesting box and surrounding area to prevent/avoid red mite, your doing the right thing by turfing her out every day

Speckle just recently snapped out of being broody after 3 months!!!!!!! Now it looks as though she is moulting so still not laying!

I had one that was broody for months, she came back into lay only to start moulting 3 weeks later

I'm with Egluntyne (checked I had the correct new spelling! ) - one of ours has been broody twice and 3 days and nights in the dog crate (on bricks, to create an airflow to cool them down) in the run did the trick.
