what does this mean?????

pregnant cat 7 to 8 weeks according to the vet when he scaned her monday just gone! she has had her first milk through for 5 days now still eating etc but acting like in heat, every time you stroke her her bum goes straight up and she rubs herself on things to, babbies are still kicking away so they are fine. does anyone know what this means????

Cats are weird, they haven't read the books, and quite a few neutered cats will push up with their bum if you stroke the base of her spine.

Hopefully the vet wormed and deflead her.  If not, I would ask.  In the UK we normally use Milbemax for worms which treats roundworm and tapeworm and is safe for pregnant and lactating cats.

Also make sure you are kitted out to weigh the kittens each day - I use a cheap set of digital kitchen scales that weigh to 1g.  They should gain 10g or more most days.  Some don't gain or even lose a bit of weight in the first couple of days, and there is sometimes the odd hiccup, but steady weight gain for the first 3 weeks is normal.  A kitten or even the whole litter failing to gain weight is a big warning sign.

if i was you id check again with your vet because when my cat did this turns out she werent pregnant anymore even though the vet said and she was in heat , she just had kittens and she never acted like she was in heat

but the kittens are clearly moving about x

is she crying like in heat ?

no no crying at all just rubbing againt things

Think she is simply marking your house.  Cats have scent glands under their chins and in other places, and the rubbing leaves it behind.  You can't smell it, she can.

my cat done that 2 weeks b4 dropping i thought it was strage to lol

lol thank god i am not going mad, she is more than 7 weeks as her babies are kicking like mad and she has had her first milk in for a week now x

Yes, there is a change in hormones right before labor, I believe it is progesterone that drops and causes heat like behavior in some cats.  This is ok. 

my cat was sick last night is eating and drinking still. why would she be sick?????? pls advice

pregnant cat sick last night!!!!!!!!!!! had her FIRST milk in for 7 days now, ate this morning and drunk but just sleeps. Why would she be sick is she un well??? vet said last monday she was about 7 weeks when he did a scan, she has been nesting to. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very common for a cat very close to giving birth to throw up and be sick and lethargic. Sounds like she is getting ready.
 

Typically a momma might have diarrhea, throwing up is less common but can happen.  Most cat will stop eating before hand so that she has room to eat the placentas.

Thank you so much that has really put my mind at ease ))))

You can and as you are anxious, should phone and ask your vet. If you do have access to a vet.

You were at this vet with her earlier, so you can consider yourself as his paying patient, and my guess is he will answer and give telephone advices, as long as you dont overdo the asking.

It depends of course on what this sick is, you are not describing it very well.  some "symptoms" ARE common, as the above said, if it is more and you plainly see she is sick, better to phone a vet and let him decide, if it is just the normal "symptoms" - or something more and else.

You dont want to risk to have a high preg sick for real...

Good luck!

you dont describe this being sick much.

But some symptoms are quite common, say they get loose poo, even diarrhea, some day before the delivery.

If it is something which look serious, my advice is not guess, but phone you vet. Describe, let him ask follow up questions... and let him decide  if, and what you should do.

Good luck!
