Hi to all,

I discovered last week that my female cat was quite heavily pregnant (i was away for 4 weeks) i have got the vet with her at the end of next week, the only thing is she is displaying behaviour that would suggest she is going to have them pretty soon but i am not sure, she is quite big and when she lies beside you and goes to sleep if you rest your hand on her tummy i can feel the kittens moving and i can see them move (both been for about a week) and also when she standing and you pet both sides of her tummy you can feel them buldging out the sides, I got her a nesting box last week and she never went into it until last night for a couple of hours..her nipples are pink and prominent but not swollen..she has taking a bit fur away from 2 of her nipples and also around her private area which she has also been cleaning as though there is no tomorrow
she has also been wondering around nearly all day watching me and having a meow and wandering about my bedroom going under the bed, drawers and trying to get into the drawers
with all of this does anyone know roughly how long she has..
Thanks for any advice in advance

If you have only been feeling the kittens for a week then you should have about a week left before delivery.

It sounds like she could have them very soon, probably within the next week.
When you say that she's been nesting and licking herself, that could be a sign that the kittens could come quite soon. Keep an eye on her, and I'd suggest confing her to one room.
Good luck, and keep us updated on her!

thanks for that, i tried keeping her in my bedroom as thats where she is spending all her time but as soon as i close the door she starts going crazy so i leave it open a bit for her(she still stays on my bed) i had a quick look last night before she went upstairs again and her nipples are really pink and really prominent , she went to her litter tray this morning and the whole top landing was stinking, she usually comes downstairs for a couple of hours at night and sit with me and OH but she never attemted to come into the living room last night, she was pacing about my bedroom then eventually jumpud on the bed and went to sleep..dont think she has long to go

Perhaps she's only carying 1 or 2 kittens. It's great that she's getting exercise, as long as she seems happy!

One other thing, if you haven't already, you should be feeding her kitten food- she needs the extra calories.
