I rescued a feral kitten back in January. Perrie (the cat) is now between 11-16 months old. When I rescued her she stayed under my bed for the first month only to come out at night. Since then she has become joint to my hip and will not leave my side for a second. Perrie isn't as confident with my family as she is with me, hence stalling the vets. I went away for my travels leaving perrie with the family (who she is now fine with) I gave my family STRICT rules not to let her out, but they did. up until this point she was always an indoor cat. When I got home 2 weeks ago I picked her up and noticed her nipples were bigger and she had a prominent bump. I took her to the vets straight away (where she behaved like a dream, I had a proud mother moment) , the vet confirmed she was pregnant, but couldn't put a number on how far gone she was, but agreed with me it was between 5-7 weeks (that was on the 10th of September). For the last two weeks i have been researching and reading up alot about the whole birthing process and stages of pregnancy, but there's a Few things I'm not concerned, but wanting to know more on...
1) she hasn't nested
2) she's very lazy, just sleeping and getting up to use the litter/eat/drink
3) I gave her kitten milk, thinking that might perk her up, but now she's having diariha. (one had tiny amount of blood in) would that be because of the milk?
4)she stopped eating and drinking yesterday and the day before, but ate and drank this morning.
5) we found stains 3-4 days ago where she has leaked milk, but I can't squeeze any out?
6) her nipples are flaking
7) she's being grumpy, and none affectionate. She's meowing if I try to pick her up, or thrashes her tale when I try to give her some fuss.
I just want her to be ok, and back to her old self. I miss her.
I phoned the vets and they weren't concerned but offered to look at her. But some of you might know a heavily pregnant grumpy cat isn't the easiest of things to put in a cat travel box.
My cats health and well being comes first so please any advice or info will be much appreciated
I am booking her in tommorow though.
And yes she will be spayed after these kittens are born.
