I took in a stray on February 3 thinking he was fixed and to my surprise he wasn't, I took care of that and he is now! I think she might have conceived between February 7-11 but I'm not 100% sure! The last couple days she has been extremely affectionate and spending more time in her nesting box I prepared for her, she is always laying down and sleeping, I don't blame her she is huge! I have never experienced kittens being born before and I have no idea when it will happen anyone have any opinion on this! Here is a picture of her last night and a picture of her nipple! Any advie would be helpful! Thank you so much I'm just a worried kitty mom!

She's pregnant all right! My Quess is around 7 weeks! But you can't be sure without a vet consultation! If she is around 7 weeks then the babies will be here in about 2 weeks. Make sure your feeding her a good quality kitten food for the extra nutrients and calories to help the kittens growth and help your girl maintain a healthy weight, let her eat as much as she wants and continue to do so while she is nursing. Please keep us updated on your kitties progress :-)

Aha I'm in exactly the same situation. I first noticed my girl was pregnant on the March 3rd and it's been a waiting game ever since. Last week she went to vets and he estimated she was due on or around 8th April. As you know that date is quickly approaching but still my girl is showing hardly any signs of impending labour, although she does look around for somewhere to nest but she's been doing this for weeks! Good luck with everything :-)

Thank you, yours is a little beauty also. Is she a blue (grey) colour?

Oh I'll be posting alright lol...I'm so excited I keep going to bed and hoping that when i wake up, she will be lying there with a smile on her face feeding her beautiful babies!

I really need to do something more constructive with my days lol

He's lovely too. I wish I knew who my girl mated with, next door have a lady cat too so we had about 3-4 tom's around, I didn't even know she was in heat to be honest. I thought she had been spayed after being accidently misinformed by the vet when i took her in. She was a stray too.

My oldest cat didn't like the fact I brought in the other 2 but now she just ignores them, the other female loves the male! It's so cute he has been following her everywhere she goes the past 2 days!

When she go's in to labor she will need a nest her temperature will drop a bit and she will start lactating she will begin nesting 3 days before birth

I'm anxiously waiting for the birth of my girls kittens, I'm driving myself crazy! Think she conceived around the 7th of February but not 100% positive on this! Last night she threw up, this morning she had a little what looked like dried milk on her nipple! I took this picture today! I just want these sweet things to get here!
