How pregnant is my cat?!?!

So my boyfriend recently brought home a cat/kitten a while ago. Found outside his work. She's a tiny little cat. She's vary loving and sweet, but come to find out she's expecting. We love her to death, and are having her fixed. We just don't know when to plan the vet appointment. We are waiting for the kittens to be in their new homes when we fix her. If anyone has any advise or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the site, I've only been on here just over 5weeks so am not that experienced in pregnant cats but I'm sure one of the more informed members will be able to guide you through the site. Looking at your last picture your cats teats look like my Ginny's did a couple of days before she gave birth, which was like 5 weeks ago today. So I imagine you haven't got too much longer to go. Good luck and keep us posted.

Do you feel the kittens move? You can usually feel them about two weeks before delivery.

Welcome to our Forums and good luck!

Firstly, you are likely to have noticed that your cat's appetite will have almost doubled in the past few weeks and you will be able to see her kittens moving around in her abdomen quite clearly.

Also, she will have been displaying nesting behaviour -- looking for a safe, warm and quiet place in which to give birth. Hopefully, you will have already provided a suitable nesting box for her to use, otherwise you may find that she has chosen to give birth in the middle of your bed!

Then, as your cat nears the start of her labour, her appetite will reduce dramatically. It may even disappear completely.

A further sign of your cat's labour is that she may become particularly clingy and want to be around you constantly, seeking your affection.

As she gets closer to the time that her labour begins in earnest, you may find that your cat starts pacing about, appearing nervous or particularly excitable.

Another very distinct sign that your cat is very close to going into labour is that she will begin to 'call' to you. Even if you have never been present when a cat is giving birth, you won't be able to mistake this particular sound!

As the time approaches, you will see your cat repeatedly licking her bottom as she reacts to changing sensations in her body as it prepares for the birth of her kittens.

And finally, when your soon--to--be mother cat starts to feel the first twinges of her labour, she will appear to be uneasy and will repeatedly go in and out of her nesting box, 'treading' on the nesting material that you have already provided.

When you see this last behaviour, you can be quite sure that your lovely cat is entering the first stage of the birth process -- your cat's labour has begun.
