How pronounced will the nipples be before birth? We are trying to guage how imminent delivery may be based on the size of her nipples.
My friend * is fostering "Myrtle" (I will help somewhat), no idea when she is due, but looks soon. She is exhibiting some of the common behaviors--somewhat restless, licking her vagina, panting somewhat--but you can only see one nipple easily.
She is around six months old, thin, coat is rough, very very friendly. Pretty sure she's been owned before, the person who had been feeding her was able to pet her too, so it's hard to tell if the friendliness is part of the pregnancy or her normal demeanor.
ALSO: I've read that you should keep the kittens warm after they are born. But she will be in the Cattery, upstairs, no air conditioning, lots of fans, very shaded area. (The cattery is sometimes cooler than my condo, which has ac.) Washington, DC area is having a heat wave, and the heat index this weekend will exceed 100. So warm is too warm, too cool? Will we need to bring out a heating pad? (It was comfortable in the cattery early this morning.)
* This is the same friend who rescued Ritz and converted one of her rooms into a Cattery where we successfully resocialized and placed into Forever Homes four cats, who had been part of my cat colony. We're still working with "Mystique", who still loves loves the dogs.
