Suuri 60 days pregnant

I know I haven't posted in a while, I've been quite busy. buuut....I wanted to let you all know that Suuri the foster cat we obtained at the begining of feb is due any day. She's estimated 59-61 days via information provided by previous owner. Sooo March 31st is d-day and we're all waiting anxiously. Here's the facts so far...

The last 4 days she's had a thickish white to clear discharge, almost buggery consistency this morning with some blood tinges ( sorry tmi I have to wipe her since she can't lick herself anymore)

Her stomachs very large and extremely lumpy kittens feel like large lumps and have moved downwards (4-5 kittens est at u/s)

She's had milk in for atleast a day (noticed last night)

I can't take her temp she absolutely won't let me.

No food so far today, but drinking water.

Been moving from rug to rug sleeping yesterday and today.

She hasn't really shown in an interest in any box that i have made her, i don't see any real nesting behavior like Nahla had. Just super lazy, she finds me to be patted every so often and then back to the rugs, she really likes laying on our rugs lol. Can't wait for kittens and to see what pretty colors we will be having. Just in case you guys don't remember she's a Maine Coon, and according to previous owner bred with another pure bred Maine Coon. we will see

Ooo, that's pretty exciting!!
If she's leeking milk and not eating much it'll probably be in less than two days, probably in the next 24 hours if this is her first litter She may not nest at all, it depends on the kitty...
Keep us updated on her progress!

None of my cats really have shown nesting behaviours so it's up to me to seclude them in the cat room. When there is discharge, it usually means they are getting close, I'd say within the 24 hr range.

Still no kittens yet but we're on day 63 and she's been having a thin bloody show all day....so fingers crossed it will be tonight or tomorrow!!!! she looks so miserable, i don't think her belly can stretch anymore. All i can feel is tiny little kittens moving everywhere. Seems like she will have a fairly large litter if size is any comparision. When Nahla was had hers she looked round but nothing like this girl. Suuri is also a 17lb cat before babies LOL

I think the waiting is the worst part of the whole pregnancy.

Oh yes, the dreaded waiting...it's almost worse with our cats than with ourselves. You know the day has come and gone, and then whammo! the kittens come when you least expect even though you've been waiting on pins and needles. Both my girls this past month were late, one by 2 days and one only by a day. I do find though, that after I've separated them and they're in the cat room, I feel so much better knowing they aren't going to have them under my bed. The bed in the cat room doesn't have a bedframe, so no kitties under the bed EVER. Makes my job so much easier.

I have been watching and waiting a couple threads including this one for the impending births. It's so exciting.

I just was confronted by a youing friend that a stray they took in a while back is "getting reallly fat". So I talked with him for about an hour about everything he needed to know and that he reallly needs to check the net for information. Him and his roomies thought the cat was male, and that was the first question he asked, was how to tell the difference. I explained in great detail LOL

Haha that had to be well umm...interesting...to say the least lol. As for Suuri still waiting. Although for the past 6 hours now she has not left this one glass shelf in my room that she for some reason loves. I'm really afraid she is going to try and have them there and it's going to be very unsuitable. So tonight I'm on kitten watch I'll let you guys know if and when please send labor vibes hahahaha!

Sending vibes your way!!!

I told my young friend that cats tend to have their kittens during the night and to not be shocked by it. I filled him in quite in depth about what to expect etc. The poor boy is my son's age, but lives with roommates. I wish the guy was MY son, he's such a great kid. He grew up on an acreage, and has birthed puppies, alpacas and some kittens so he's not totally clueless. LOL

I know I will offer up help and go to his place if he wants help or anything of that sort.

I told him though to not let the momma cat outside anymore because she could have them outside, and here, it's not yet very warm. Also, the risk of disease and parasites is higher when they're allowed out and it's harder to treat pregnant cats.

Well I'm glad he has someone he trusts to help. Suuri still does not seem to be doing much. She eats a few bites occasionaly but otherwise still sleeping on that one shelf she has dubbed her own. There is bloody discharge caked around her bottom and it always seems to be moist but won't let me wipe anymore so don't know how old ornew Amy of it is. Leaking milk has slight bloody show now two days and nothing more....any ideas or anyone wanna venture a guess as when she will go. Due date was yesterday she mated January 26th. I'm so very impatiently waiting!

I've been up watching her tonight well in increments about once an hour. I am almost certain she is in early labor. She's nervous and jumpy not sleeping but on her side. Haven't seen any pushing yet breathing pretty fast .... Is sneezing during labor normal? I have never heard her sneeze before. She is confinded now for the night and she is strangly plenty fine with the door being shut, although our other cats are not. O well... Will update in morning maybe sooner if anything happens

Good luck!!! It sounds like she is in labor now...I'm not sure about the sneezing, but I don't think you really need to worry about it

she still hasn't started pushing and i'm a little worried about her. She doesn't seem too worried about it, just nervous like she was last night. she takes little naps then wakes up and moves around. still having the occasional twitches that look like contractions to me. but maybe she is still in early labor yet since she's not pushing at all. apparently it's normal for them to be in that stage for up to 24hrs...AWWWWWWWWW....my brain is going to explode i don't wanna wait anymore!!!!!!!!!!! Vet didn't seem concerned when i talked to him, just said to keep an eye on her and if she seems like she's hurting bad or pushes for too long then to bring her in....so hurry up and wait some more.

As long as she doesn't seem to be trying to push, you don't need to worry too much yet. Just keep petting her...they'll come soon

Unsure if I should even jinx it by writing this I'm about 100% sure this time its for real. I was gone all day and when I got home about an hour ago she is panting and all over me the minute I walk in the door. She has a bunch of discharge all clearish and she is crawling on the floor. Only thing is she is still eating even between panting what a strange cat lol. Otherwise even vet says we will have kittens by tomorrow. I'd not going to give her oxytocin Monday as that would be here 70 days and the kittens are already large. Glad she's doing it on her own I want to be there when she is having them instead of people she doesn't know at all at least we have had a while to become use to eachother. Please wish suuri good luck! She needs it

She still has the 5 but I think that is all now lol. Thought o felt one more but I'm no expert and she is perfectly content now. We have two solid black with white paws and chests. Two mostly black with white markings and one white with tabby and black spots. None of them look anything like mom dad I'm told was gray never seen him tho. I will post pictures after Easter. I'm so proud she did amazing had them over about 7 hrs! Happy Easter everyone what an appropriate holiday for babies!
