Pregnant Cat , How long ?!

Okay so my cat had been pregnant for alot of time now , her belly is huge and she had been resting all day long , She licks her abdomen and her private area alot , her nipples are big and they have like white crusts on them , I could feel the kittens in their and they are kicking hard !

How Long till she gives birth ?

Well cats are pregnant for between 60 to 67 days. 63-64 days being average. If you don't know around the date she was mated or in heat. Then it's just a bit of a waiting game. But it sounds like she is very close

Thanks , Going to post pictures if she gives birth soon

Her Stomach is about to explode !

LOL! Beautiful cat!

But no, she's not about to explode. :-) How long have you been able to feel them move? From that point, it seems to be the consensus that the cat will have about another two weeks to go. 

Is she nesting yet?

I got feel them move 10 days ago , and no she is not nesting.

Oh wow she is a beauty. I think mine has maybe 2-3 weeks to go..at least I think although she is huge and somewhat uncomfortable. Just watch her and give her lots of loving. Mine wont go to anyone just me. According to what your saying sounds like she is almost there.

Ok , so today she went in the box i made for her , and kept on scratching in it then she sits in there , does that mean that she is near ?

Today she came meowing to me and I looked at her back area and I found blood / water , not drops it was soaking her from the back , is she going to give birth today

I guess it was her water gone.  Most often the delivery comes very soon after, but not always...

Good luck!

Ok so after 6 hours of her water breaking , she gives birth to 4 healthy kittens , don't know if she has more to deliver , right now she is shaking so I don't know if she has more , going to upload pics after she cleans them good and do her cat things

Congratulations

I cannot wait to see some pictures

give her water with some honey (glucose) in, also with a little salt = sort of homemade pedialyte.

You may even smear some honey or white caro syrup on her gum.

Probably tired as they are, but this here will help her recover quicker.

Make sure she has it warm and cozy....

If she seems OK, you dont need to worry too much if there is one left, it will come when it comes.

But if she seems in troubles or anything - contact your vet for advice...

Good luck!

I notice I wasnt entirely clear above.

I was talking about the situation where there is no actual labor, "is she done, or has she just a pause"?

We dont like long, unfruitful labors!   ESPECIELLY NOT  after the first ones are born, and it should be just easy way out for the remaining kittens.   More than 30 minutes - do worry, phone your vet.

The labor before the first may of course be longer, but not too longer either - cats labor is usually shorter than human labor.

This "pause" situation is not so dangerous as many thinks, as long as it IS a pause, she seems well, is contend, relaxed etc.  Watch and observe, but dont worry too much.

If there seems any problems, including prolonged shaking more than just a few minutes - contact your vet...

Water, (or  pedialyte - homemade or bought), and extra glucose,  is useful in almost any situation, but it wont be enough with help if she is in troubles for real.

Yousseff Ezz, how its going?  How is she and the kittens?

Has the shaking stopped,  has the labor ended for good?

If she is still shaking although your tries to help, she must to vet asap.

Good luck!

I hope all is well..I know when going thru something like this nothing else matters..but hopefully she will get a min and update us on mom and babies. And maybe some pics of the sweet babies.

We dont see the pics.  If she is visibly stressed by you taking pics, wait with them taking pics. 

To weigh them every day is more important, if she lets you.   They usually let, if you do it respectfully, near the nest so she sees what you are doing and sees her kitten.  Do it quickly so the baby dont gets cold and begin to protest...

At the same time you have a quick look see...

Good luck!

Im happy to hear that babies and mom are doing good.
Good luck grandma and congrats.
