Ok, so Miss Nala is now on Day 56/57 of pregnancy. I've been feeling movement for about 4 or 5 days, and now today I SAW kicking activity while giving her a rubdown. She can no longer reach to clean her nether regions, so I am doing that for her. Today, I could see a little bit of her mucous plug, I guess since she's had litters before, she's a bit more "open" (sorry for TMI). It is intact and right where it should be. Nala still has her massive appetite, and is still a little love bug. She has checked out 2 of her nesting areas, but still chooses to sleep either in the window sil or on the floor in the middle of the room. Occasionally she'll sleep up on the bed. I have a waterproof mattress pad on there that I will throw away once the kittens are weaned, just in case she decides to kitten up there. 

So, just for fun: anyone want to take a guess at when she'll have them and how many? This is her 3rd or 4th litter (thanks to previous "owner") and her last litter was 4 kittens. 

My official guess is 4 kittens born on May 5th :)

Here is a comparison from 11 days ago and today:

So glad this girl has found you... now she can stop this constant cycle of kittens and enjoy a loving home...


I'll say three... On March 9  (You've put May 5th in your post..
)

I'll go for 5 kittens on March 6th! And I'm glad you put those pictures up. I'm not totally sure how far along my cat Fluffers is. I estimated that she's at about day 46, and maybe that's right because she looks very similar to Nala in your day 45 picture. And going by Nala's progress, maybe I'll start to feel some kicking in a few days!

I love that idea!!

Well, I lost the bet since it's now almost the 7th and she's still cooking them in there;)

Should be any time now.....

I can't believe she hasn't had them yet! Is she really huge by now?

Clealy I'm way behind on this thread but I still want to guess! I won't pick a day but I think she has 5 little ones cookin in there. 

Usually delivery is about two weeks from the time you feel them/see them moving about, and it sounds like that will be pretty darn close to when she delivers. 

I know, the waiting sucks. Hang in there and thank you for taking this little one in! She is lucky to have you!
