Hi everyone,
I took in my sisters 8 year old cat. She has never become pregnant in her 8 yrs of life. But we noticed that her usual tiny self had a round hard belly. So i dont know exactly when she was bred.
Its been 9 weeks and she stopped eating 2 nights ago. Her temp is 99.8. Her nipples are pink and big but not yet producing milk.
Two nights ago she became super lovey. 2 nights ago she started doing this squaty walk with her butt to the ground. She is still walking like that but still no kittens! She didnt get huge like other pregnant cats but she looked like she swallowed a mini water melon. Shes usually a very small petite cat.
I could never feel the babies but im positive shes pregnant. This squat walk made me think labor, but im still waiting..

This is not right at all ! I would seriously get your cat to a vet now ! !! Not eaten for two days - cats need to eat regularly or be on a drip otherwise they are at risk of developing fatty liver disease - where the liver basically starts to eat itself.

Cats also should not be in labour for two days. If is has been in labour for two days the kittens have most likely died by now or are not far off. If the mother cat can not deliver then naturally then the out come for her is not good at all !!!

Please get your cat to a vet now ASAP !!! You might just be able to save the kittens if you act NOW

If she isn't in labor soon, I would take her to the vet to check things out and make sure everything's on track.

Scratch that. I would get her to the vet ASAP. GemsGem knows more about this than I do. Get her to the vet. Do it now. Yes, go to pet emergency if your regular vet does not have sunday hours.

I dont think shes been in labor that long. Right now shes walking around wanting me to pet her. But every so often she lays down and looks uncomfortable. She just ate some canned food. Not the whole thing, probably half. Shes meowing for me to hold her. She still is doing a squat every so often and her temp is 99.8 tonight.

Sometimes she acts fine. Right now shes rolling on the floor infront of me. And other times she squats and looks uncomfortable
