create few nesting boxes and place them various places in the house such as closet, or any place that will be calm and peaceful and won't have ton of foot traffic. do you know the exact moment she got pregnant? we can figure out when she going to have them.

animallover21 · Feb 17, 2015

She got out of the house around October and November an had went missing during that time an came back home ending of November beginning of December started noticing she was pregnant towards the end of December.

She's quite big the picture of her does no justice on her size she looks like a football an her tummy hangs sorta low she grooms herself a lot an lately has been stealing my puppies food she does tend to also try to get in my closet

can you see or feel the kittens?

animallover21 · Feb 17, 2015

I haven't really tried seeing yet an I'm not sure on how to feel for any or what to feel for.

mwallace056 · Feb 17, 2015

she looks like she 8 or 9 weeks so she might have them this week or the next, the latest being the first week of march

biancavd · Feb 18, 2015

If the only time she got out was until the start of December, she will have them soon or already should have had them. Cat pregnancies do take, as said, 9 weeks or a little longer. Accurately, it's around 64 to 70 days but can get earlier than that. If it surpases day 70, she'll probably need help from a vet getting started or getting them out.

Since she has came back she has not been out I keep my eye out for her everyday to see if there are any changes thank you so much for the help (:

She could have them any day now.

I had a momma cat that followed my heels and cried at me until I went in the room with her. Once I went to the room, she got in her nest and stayed until the babies were born. I got up to go to the bathroom once, she was in full labor and tried to follow me. Needless to say I had to hold it until my daughter came home to sit with her. She would not let me out of her sight. Most times I had to have a hand on her.

yes it could be anytime within the next day maybe two. keep a close eye on her and make sure she is comfortable and not stressed. She should let you know when she is ready.

Good luck!!! Can't wait for pics of the babies.

animallover21 · Feb 19, 2015

Thank you can't wait for them to be here either I noticed she was acting odd when she started rubbing against my feet an meowing an then moving an laying down then licking herself so I can't wait will post a update (:

mwallace056 · Feb 19, 2015

do you have few nesting boxes ready for her to choose

animallover21 · Feb 19, 2015

I have a spot for her its a large cage with a pillow an blanket and a towel I have a puppy that's very curious an will probably try to get in her nesting boxes this way its private for her an she doesn't have my dogs interrupting her (:
