I have a pregnant 9 month old tabby and I'm not sure how far along she is. She's showing some signs of being towards the end of pregnancy; she's not eating much and she's constantly licking the area, and we can feel and see the kittens moving around, but her stomach hasn't obviously dropped. She's always been quite small and skinny since she was a kitten- does that make any difference?
Also she has vomited twice today, but isn't showing any signs of distress. It's her first litter and I've never had a pregnant cat before so I just wanted to know if this is normal :)

I want to think its normal. Unless she gets more vomiting - cats are renown for vomiting, but much more than usual is alarming.  So look out, but hope for the best.

I send some of our lings.

Please come with reports and further questions!

Good luck!

Thank you for the advice! This is Arya :)
Her stomach has suddenly dropped and she seems to have settled into her nest that I made for her. She's eating a little bit more and I haven't seen her vomit today, so everything seems to be going well :)
