So for those that dont know, my husband and I took in a stray cat last week that turned out to be pregnant. I made an appt for this friday with our vet but as a favor my husband's good friend came over this evening who is actually a veterinarian for the US Army. He looked at her and confirmed her pregnancy, and said he cant exactly pin point gestation however since he isnt familiar with her and her "pre pregnancy" condition. All he said was she is nearing the end and that she looks completely healthy (outward appearance only of course. We are very much aware that she needs to be dewormed ASAP). I told him the story behind her being abandoned and how she was only homeless for about a week...he said "thats probably why she isnt to far gone". Anyhow (sorry I'm rambling---I'm just so excited that she is doing alright), yesterday I gave her a good bath in the blue Dawn and a complete brush out with a flea comb so she is now in my house and flea/tick free
Thank goodness! We found about 5-6 fleas on her. It is REALLY hot where I live so I couldnt bear to leave her out on the porch any longer. I made her up a nesting spot in the corner of my laundry room yesterday and at first she really loved it. She slept in it for about 6-7 hrs but now she is hiding in dark corners of my closet, way underneath my bed, behind my son's dresser, in the bathtub and showers, ect. She has only really scratched at the surfaces a few times (I ready thats a big nesting symptom) and she isnt very vocal unless I walk past her and then she cries and cries and follows me for the next 10 mins. She has doubled in size in the last few days I have had her and she is CONSTANTLY walking in circles on end just looking lost. I just wanted to know if all of this normal? I'm sure most of it is but is this behavior they display before labor or....? Below are pics I took of her today, sorry they arent very good. Any feedback would be awesome
Oh and if anyone is curious: Yes I do still plan to keep my appt on Friday
