Hi All,

I am still quite new to this website but it has been invaluable for information. My cat Roxy is heavily pregnant and I am not doubting it anymore (the vet confirmed!)

As each day goes on I notice something different about her. Her stomach lately keeps twitching like crazy and I have felt movement from the kittens too. I think roughly she is 60 days pregnant so its just a waiting game.

My question is about her nipples. There seems to be what looks like dried blood around them. The vet said it was nothing to worry about but of course I do! They are also very dry and flaky. The vet did check to see if they were leaking any milk yet but they were not. Is there anything I can do, I am just concerned that they might be sore. She doesnt react if i touch them and I have been using some cotton wool and warm water to keep them clean but other than that i am stumped!

Any advice is much appreciated.

It sounds like she she should have them soon
From what I've heard here, a lot of people use vegetable oil un their nipples to moisten them up a bit
