pregnant cat

Angel is very very pregnant and today she started having a clear liquid discharge (looks like water) does this mean she is in labor?

I called my vet an she told me its most likely sighs of beginning labor since she is due any day now and to keep a close eye on her :-) i am so excited for her to have the babies

I am happy to report Angel gave birth to 4 beautiful babies starting at 10pm august 12 and ending at 12:30 am august 13

Congratulations, Angel, on your new babies. Can we see some pictures?

Oj, they seem healthy and well done!   It didnt hurt them they got some day extra in momma.

Im as happy as you everything is OK.

Good luck!

She had them in the dogs kennel so today i moved the kennel and the babies into my room cause she seemed to be getting nervous and refused to leave the kennel and now she dont want to be with them it seems, did i do the wrong thing by moving them

Are you sure she isnt just streching her legs, now when she can and does dare to leave them alone awhile?

If not, just to try and give her some alternative scenarios.  Mom can be picky.  Usually, they prefer some place aside, cozy, a little dark, where they can feel protected.   Also, the litter place shouldnt be too near her kittens, and such.

But if she avoids them totally, the risk is big its some fault with her.  say, inflammated teats. Or she is sick in another way and its because of it she doesnt has the peace of mind to take care of her kittens.

Be vigilant, and contact your vet asap you suspect something such.

If it goesnt better, you must be prepared to step in.  Weigh them every day so you know the development.  Get home gears and KMr or goat milk.   Or at least, get to know where you can get all this if in hurry.

Now, with these big, feisty kittens, you do have some margins.  

Good luck!

Thank you for the advise it turns out she wants me in there with her while she feeds which is kinda weird to me because she has always been more on the independent side but as long as im in the room with her she feeds them but follows me as soon as i walk out of the room!
