pregnant stray

She needs to rest up for labor & delivery. She won't sleep as much once the kittens are born!

@rukia222   It is good if she comfortable and able to sleep because like sarthur says, she won't have nearly as much oportunity once these kittens arrive and will need all her strength for feeding and teaching them the kitten lessons they will need.  Also, I suspect like humans again, that it is when the mother is resting that the kittens will get most of their nutrients from her and will grow the most and prepare for being born.  It must be pretty tiring for her carrying all those kittens around in her belly so if she is comfortable resting it makes sense for her to do so.

Thank you and yes I saw them moving all over today and she is just rolling over again and again she seems happy to be in a home somewhere.

Can't wait to see these little kits, see if any of them are blue / blue and white like their momma.       I wonder if momma will still have that cute Q on her belly afterward as well. 

I sure hope so.... And about the q me to its lighter then the rest of her and different

Still waiting on babies it's been 9 days since I could see babies moving so I hope the times getting near

It is probably getting very close. Just be patient!

Yay

Well - as long as momma cat is feeling good and eating then I assume that all is on the right track and plan!! :cross: She is a lucky girl to have found you and that you are caring for her now.

Update on momma she had a drop of blood on our bed today and when she sat down I saw a little bit more on her rump. She's acting fine I also noticed she has scabs on her tests and no fur there either should I be expecting in the next 24 hours or could it be another week or so

I am not sure at all on this! Stefan mentioned in an above post that we wouldn't want "real" blood though. But will mention StefanZ he may know what this means. :cross:

Lets hope for the best - usually it stays there with just a few drops.

But you must of course observe even more closely - and if necessary be ready to rush in, if  something breaks down, and she gets a bleeding for real.

Good luck!

No more blood just that one drop it was very red but looked stringy in the middle took her temp via underarm and she was right at 100.0 so she's really a bit higher. And she's eating fine still laying around

It sounds like she is ready to deliver, so be on the lookout within the day or so

Good luck! Let us know.  

Yes I set her up a nesting box took her temp again under her arm and confined her in a room cleaned out litter box to non clumping litter got fresh water and plenty of food and gave her some wet food she ate and laid in her box I'm sure hoping its this weekend because I work and really wanna be there its been almost 29 hours since the bloody show kitties are really low in the belly not high on the sides like they were a dew days ago and she's very very moody right now my daughter named her cita for momma cita lol

Sounds soon, and you are very keyed in , so best of luck! Post soon!

Cute name - Cita! She is being well cared for and couldn't be in better hands. Loads and loads of vibes for the kittens to come this weekend so you can be home and nearby if needed AND for the birthing process to go very smoothly for Cita and her kittens. :cross:

Thanks so much. I took her temp at midnight last night it was right at a 100.0 and its 1:30 here and she seems to be acting just fine but I've noticed that she hasn't ate since about 9 pm last night and can't seem to get comfortable keeps rolling from one side to the next. Also she has been laying on my bed for days and I caught her laying on my night stand last night and most of the day maybe because its cooler than our bed. I see babiesoving a lot in there gonna take another temp under her arm again in a few it was 99.9 so I'm assuming 100.0 or a little higher from last night. Thanks again for everyone's help and good vibes

Just checked her remp and it was 99.1 I think labor may have started. I have a church function to go to her in about three hours so I hope she will wait till I come home I will keep everyone posted thanks guys I'm so excited
