My calico is pregnant and has been for sometime. She got pregnant in the first 2 weeks of november. She comes in and digs her claws in me in the morning squatting and it looks like she's pushing. I've never felt the kittens move but I've felt they're head or butts poking out. She's so pregnant though. I've mad her a birthing box and when I put her in there yesterday she walked in circles and she acted like she was gonna have them squatting and pushing but never did. I've been keeping her box in the kitchen babygated off from my other 2 cats and my 2 dogs. She was raised with all of them. She just tolerates them lately. I love my cat and I dont wanna anything to happened to her so I really need to know if I should get her looked at or give it more time. The holidays have left us broke but if I need to take her I can make it happen. Her squatting like that makes me worry. Help me please.
She's a mostly white calico about 8 months old if that helps.

She also lost the fur on her nose. It fell off after it began looking cracked. She also has a spot above one eye where the hair has fallen out and its peeling and red with little scabs. She's getting one over her other eye now too and it's really dark in color. I was thinking ringworm? Cuz I know cats can carry it. Plus I now have a ringworm spot on my forearm

First 2 weeks of November, she's not due yet. Anywhere from 5th January to 18th January will be her due dates.

If she is in actual labour and pushing with nothing happening you will need to get her to the vet. She may also be having a false pregnancy, which lasts around 6 weeks where they show all the signs of being pregnant but actually are not, kittens can also be reabsorbed.

She can also have some precontractions, not at all unusual.

What are you giving her to eat? High preg should have qood quality food, think  "kitten food quality".

This with fur falling off is interesting. Fur falling off breasts and down there is the usual, not from the head...  So something is going on.  But why shall we guess. As you do have several cats and dogs, you do surely also have a vet. Phone and ask!

Good luck!
