pregnancy

My cat is purely a house cat never goes out she's 14 months old an had a last season 7 weeks ago when she escaped so sure enough she must be pregnant was only gone for one night but shows most signs of pregnancy now as she's aprox 6 1/2 - 7 weeks but all ov a sudden the ginger tom who was stalking my house has now turned up again she's not interested but he keeps trying to get in the house why would he do this any help please

She had also only just started her heat cycles and had two around that time

They sometimes do behave like in heat, also when already preg.  Hey, sometimes they even are in heat for real.

So its nothing unusual.

Also, it may happen she had some sort of false pregnany, or had a early spontan abort on her own.

but that is not so common compared with  extra heat when pregnant..

So keep her away from this tom.

You have perhaps possibility to help this tom and spay him?   This would be a nice gift to him, and surely to the neigborhood too...

Good luck!

Typo  corrected.

She hasn't been going out she's back to wanting to stay in her nippels are really noticeable now an she's been really mardy an sleeping all the time plus eating like a horse I have found where the tom lives which is right around the corner iv been told he could possibly be waiting to get at the kittens so he can try get back at her quicker. Whatever the reason he won't be getting near her again as soon as she can she's goin to be spayed

Hi my cat has broke her water this morning at around 7.15 she was trickling then at 7.30 she lay down lost a little plug an then a big sack of water was visible then she burts it she's constantly cleaning down there but still no contractions how long does it normally take before the kittens will arrive an this was an accident pregnancy she will be fixed soon as its safe to do

Waters come usually shortly before the kittens.  But sometimes it can take time, even days.   As long she isnt in active labor its not too dramatic, you can see and wait..

It is safest to phone your vet for advice. They know what follow up questions to give.

Good luck!

Exciting, keep us updated 

Hi thank you I have contacted a vet which said she's fine as she is not contracting but didn't really give much advice on how long before she should I have read loads of things that say 2 hours to 24 . But I have just read one of the links you gave an it says first time mums in first stage can take up to 36 hours so thats my mind at rest for now keep you posted

Hi sorry not been on to update I contacted a different vet the following day as the first kept saying she was fine she went in an scanned to find she had birthed up to 2 kittens within the hour of her waters going while I was taking the kids to school an unfortunately they where 2 weeks early so would have been born dead an she had ate then hence why id seen nothing . But thanks for all the help an advice
