Hello and welsome to TCS! It's not too late to get your kitty spayed, so she doesn't even have to have the kittens at all. Gestation is 63 days.

Whether you decide to do that or not, she needs a check up. Please bring her to the vet.

I agree, a vet visit and spaying. There are way too many homeless kittens in the world.

Welcome to the forums!

Spaying now or later is what is to be done. Many vets hesitate to take spaying on preg cats. Even if technically it is no big deal for a decent skillful vet.
So if not now, so later.

Contacting a vet about talking about this, and also a check up - is highly advisable, asap.

This with red poo or "poo" should a vet look at. May both be a bloody poo, self-abortion, surely also some other possibiliotes.


Good luck!

Is it "poo" or possibly vomit? Because of the food I feed my cats when they get sick it is pink. I suppose it could be mistaken for poop. If that's the case I have read that it is normal for a little morning sickness around this stage. I am going through my first cat pregnancy, too. My Baby Girl is almost 6 weeks (I think, I'm not sure when she mated because she never showed signs of being in heat). I do suggest to take her to the vet. They can do a fecal exam. I agree with spaying 100%. But I don't feel spay/abortion is the right answer. Everyone should check out this site. http://www.pet-informed-veterinary-a...pregnancy.html.
