very confused

ok so i have this cat that i took in from outside about 3 weeks ago ... i am 98% sure she is pregnant ... she kept us up crying all night long she is being extra affectioniate ... i think she might be close can anyone share some details about their cat right before birth so i know what to look like thank you

If she is wandering around a lot, she may be looking for a safe and comfortable place to give birth. I would provide her with a warm, dark place (like a closet) with a box filled with soft bedding, in hopes that she will feel safe and comfy enough to give birth there where it is quiet and relaxing. Good luck!

Is she more affectionate then she has been in the 3 weeks you have had her? My cat becomes very affectionate in her final weeks, she does some wondering around nesting, but she has a queening cage and does most of it in there. You may want to get a large crate for her. Is the hair around her nipples cleaned off? If not she still has a little while. If it is and she is within days, she may be very uncomfortable, more affectionate, searching for a safe place to have them. and when she is very close, you may notice a small pinkish discharge, her mucus plug, and she will be swollen too. Loss of aptite is also common in some cats just before labor too, not all though.
Good luck!

Welcome to TCS...the best thing to do is to read the welcome thread by Gaye on what signs to look for:

Also....make sure you keep her strictly indoors with no access outside until she has weaned her kittens and can be safely spayed.
