I want to know what everyone thinks

i found a stray cat about 5 weeks ago her teets where pink so i assumed she was pregnant. About 2 days ago she started looking around yesterday she tried to force her way outside. Later last night she found a tiny box and layed in it she didn't take to the nesting box i made for her. Today she has been wandering from room to room and ended up in the same box. usually she lets me do whatever with her but today she seems more agitated. She is still eating. And no milk yet but does appear to be a little swollen. I intend on having her spade after this. Any thoughts?

I think her time is nearing, although the hour nor even day, are difficult to pinpoint.

They often dont use their prepared nest, they dont want to soil it too early.

And the milk is sometimes coming in quite late, may even come in first after delivery.

Of course, a wise caretaker makes sure to have som kmr or goat milk at home, just if...

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.

Thank you for your reply is there a chance her milk won't come in? Sorry this is a first for me. I am excited!!

Its very unusual the milk doesnt comes in at all, and if so, its almost always premature kittens.

Still, a wise care taker makes sure she has the gears, kmr  or full fat goat milk, a small needleless syringe of 1ml, or at least a dropper, perhaps even a bottle.

Thanks!
