Is she ready?? Please read.

My cat should be having her kittens any day now. When i came home from work today, I noticed her stomach looked much different. At first I thought she may have had the kittens, as it looks somewhat smaller, but a closer look revieled that her tummy is just sitting much lower (no longer sticking out as much on the sides).
Does this mean she's going to have her babies soon, or could this indicate a problem?

It's normal for the kittens to "drop" a few days before delivery. Keep us updated. (And don't forget the pictures ).

Oh, there will definately be lots of pictures.
She has started panting a bit, I hope that means she'll have them really soon. I am sooo excited.

have you noticed any wet spots that are light pink? if you have noticed that then your cat is in the early stages of labour, labour can take a long while.

I was hoping she would have them throughout the night, but no luck. I havn't noticed any spotting yet.

Tummy being smaller, and beginning to pant sounds like its very close...


Good luck!

Hi when my cat was about to give birth she wouldnt leave me alone all day she just stayed by my side. she didnt eat much but she didnt stop eating completely. she was acting funny from when i got up at 8am until 1am when she just wandered off to the box she had completely ignored for 4 weeks and minutes later she had her first kitten, by 6am she had 5 kittens.

Still no kittens, but she has started to produce milk, and has been digging around in her nest box since last night. Here's hoping she has them today!!
This waiting game is awful.
I did feel a kick though, which means at least one is alive. I've been worried as I've not been able to feel any movement until today.

I think the vet may have been way off with her estimation. Still no kittens. She has been more aggressive than usual for the past few days though.

I think she may be going into labor
Hopefully she'll have the kittens tonight!

for kittens tonight.
When I took a pregnant stray to the vet he told me she would deliver in about 2 weeks. It ended up being 4 weeks. She drove me crazy the last 2 weeks of that time thinking she was going to pop any minute.

Keep us posted... and supply us with adoooorable kitten pictures!!

One kitten out so far!!!! It is soo beautiful, and very lively.

3 beautiful calicos and one dilute torti!!! They are sooo adorable, and mommy was completely fine with me checking them out.
So does this mean that they are ALL females??
