She has pretty thick fur so I haven't seen anything moving, but I felt little kicks before and so did my sister when she came to visit. Now it's kind of hard to feel them unless I wait for a while but even then it's just little movements & I only feel them when I press my hand underneath her...
No, not yet. I suspected she was pregnant and was going to take her in this week, but she started to show signs of labor Friday morning so I didn't bother to make an appointment. I will definitely take her in this week if it's recommended, or at least call my vet about it.
Still no kittens after +48 hours.
I think maybe she isn't ready, but I'm confused why her belly would look just like she's close/acting like it.
My mom said she probably isn't pregnant, just in heat.. Is it normal for her to leak discharge if she is just in heat?
I made her a few nests throughout the house where she wouldn't be disturbed. She laid in the one underneath the dining room table, and there's more clear discharge, a little more watery than before I think. She also looked like she was having more contractions.
She spent almost two hours pacing...
Thank you so much @sarthur2 !
She was crying get out of my bedroom, so I let her out and she is roaming around the house. There's no other animals inside and I closed all the other bedroom doors so she can't really go,anywhere but the living/dining room/kitchen.
I'm keeping a close eye on her...
It's so hard to wait! She woke me up at about 3 this morning, meowing pretty loud. She was sitting on the floor, moving around a lot.
I noticed she is a little thinner than before. I read they can appear thinner when the kittens move to the birth canal, but I can't see anymore clear discharge...
Piper is sleeping again, and I haven't seen any more discharge and she hasn't had any contractions or discomfort from what I can tell.
Hopefully she'll have them this weekend, thank you all for the help.
It's kind of watery, I think. I can't get a good look because she keeps shifting or licking it away.
If it's her losing her waters, how long until the kittens start coming? It's 8:30 now and I've been waiting since about 3:15-ish.
Thank you! She seems content laying on my bed, so I put the towels there and let her lay where she wanted. I closed her off in my room now. I'll post pictures as soon as I can!
I cancelled my plans and am with Piper now. She's in my room, laying on my bed. She's leaking more clear discharge, and she was pacing around my house again, but now she's in my room.
She was meowing a lot and ate some food, and drank a bit of water. I think she is going to have them tonight...
My cat, Piper, has been acting like she's in heat all morning and last night. She kept meowing and walking around the house, following me into the bathroom, and laying down in random places.
Now, she is leaking a clear discharge, and laying in the dining room. She is asleep now, I'm just...
Hi! My cat just had 5 healthy kittens three days ago. We are a little worried about the runt though, because he wasn't nursing unless I put him by a nipple until he began to suckle. I had to hold him there for about thirty minutes until he was finished and Cleo (our queen) got up to go eat, etc...
