Her name is Soccer and she's extremelly pregnant, not sure exactly how many days, but about 3 hours ago I was holding her and I noticed a reddish-clear spot on my shirt. Sure enough, when I looked at her genitals, there was a bloody, watery discharge. Since then she has been alternating between pacing and nesting, and has not let us leave her side, even though she's usually not an affectionate cat at all. Now she hasn't left her bedding in about an hour.
But there aren't any contractions at all. Some websites I've been reading say the first kitten should come within the first hour of labor, but the discharge was three hours ago. Should I worry? And is she actually in labor?
What can I expect in the following hours?
Also, she's very old, at least 11. We would have had her spayed, but we thought she was too old to have kittens, which we now know doesn't happen to cats.
