I estimate my cat to be 8-9 weeks pregnant, basically due any day now. I've been checking her temp daily because I want to be home with her when she gives birth. Her temp has gone down to 99 twice this week but then goes back up to 100-101. Also today I noticed that her "back side" is puckered at times, like its soasming? Could this be a sign that the time is near?

They can have some precontractions too...  So these "signs" arent really sure.   Kittens come when they come!

Please come with reports and further questions!

Good luck!
