It is 6am (east coast us) and my cat woke me up as she usually does doing her blanket sucking and kneading - she will do this for 10 minuets almost 15 sometimes - and likes to go in a circle as she does - she woke me up and and I noticed her special place looked like their was liquid around it - I gently blotted the area with some toilet paper and there was a discharge looking substance - this may sound gross but I took a quick sniff to see if it was urine bc that is easy to smell especially with cats - but it wasn't - I wiped a few more times and it was still there - is this labor starting? It's 6am - so I'd like to go back to bed but I don't want to if she may be starting labor - she went back to the floor and is laying down now - but her head is up - she doesn't look like she's going to sleep - she isn't licking herself and she doesn't appear to be nesting although she was in her birthing box a little while before she woke me up for real! Should I keep my eye on her? Can I sleep? Is this normal??!! Any help please!!!! The vet told us when we visited she was due in 10-15 days - this is day 17 - so I am concerned if she is late - I don't know when to start worrying! Is this discharge normal? Is it a sign?!
