Need help!! labor soon or no labor?

Does she have a nesting box? Also should be having them anytime, try not to disturb her but keep an eye on her, if she starts having very strong contractions and no kittens even after pushing, you'll need to get to a Vet. Mostly though, I think she'll do well.

Still no kittens yet.. :'( but she is going in parts of the house she's never gone before. Her temp yesterday was 99.5 now it's 100.5 she also is having diarrhea and is hardly eating. What does this mean??

They often get some diarrhea the last day before delivery.  A way of mother nature to empty the bowels, so the delivery wont be as messy as it it otherwise possible...

Good luck!

Yes ma'am I do. As of right now she is laying in it. Yeah she is not eating it's like she wants to eat her food but then she gets to it She smells it and then walks away. Also I looked in the cat litter box and it look like her bm was tinted with orange. I'm hoping she's going to go into labor tomorrow I just hope it's not when I'm at work

She is still having watery bm's and now has no interest in going potty in the cat box she just wants to bm on the floor and jump the baby gate and go bm on the carpet. Anything?? Plus her tummy was really wide and now I'm guessing it dropped?? So lost!! Need help!!

So a few questions.. Reece is still having watery bm's and has decided to not use the cat box anymore.. She is now having bm's on the tile floor, dirty clothing and jumping the baby gate to the carpet. Is this something I should worry about?? Also, last night she was very wide and now I'm guessing she has dropped?? She doesn't look wide at all like shes not even pregnant now.. But, when she now looks longer?? From her tummy to her back. Help!!

Any kittens yet?

No not yet I think tonight. Hopeing . her tummy is hard and the kittens have dropped. Also quick question! She's had horrible diarrhea and is going potty on everything else but in the cat box.. How much time do you think she has?

The time should be soon it is difficult to really tell as some times the babies come fast and other times it is slow normally the process does not need human intervention. Going outside of the litterbox could mean she was having pains while going and associated the pain with the litter box. Keep us informed.

She's no longer laying on her tummy she's putting more pressure on her back legs while she lays down.

Normally Reece will lay on her side when she delivers as the kittens will "pop out" as with no pushing. As the kittens will be in their own sack and can deliver either head or feet first. The pressure could be she is "pushing" Normally she will lay on her side and after the kitten is delivered she will start cleaning the nose and mouth. If she does not then you might have to help. If you have some sterile gloves or clean towels to use to hold the kitten try and get Reece to open the kittens sack if she will not open it and place the nose to Reece to clear the nose and mouth. Do not pull the embilical cord from Reece let it deliver naturally. If you need review the links StefanZ sent you about how to assist in the birthing. After the kittens birth and are cleanned up put them to the teat. Make sure the room temp is above 75 F and have towels to keep the babies warm. Cats have been having babies unassisted for years when the process starts they naturally know what to do. Stay calm and keep Reece quiet. If she wants her belly rubbed do so she will let you know when to leave her alone. Dont force your presence. Babies will come on their own time and can take several hours to all be finished.

keep us advised

What about the diarrhea?

I read that the mother having diarrhea before the birth so her bowels are empty. This is common make sure she has her food and water. it sounds like it will be soon

Any kittens yet? If no kittens yet, I suggest you may need to take her to the Vet as its worrisome she has this much loose stool and overall discomfort. She may need to be induced since she's probably quite large now.

No kittens still. But she's panting and is having discharge again. Hopfully tonight!

As long as the discharge is clear then it is to be expected. If it is pussy and really bloody then it could be bad. I would monitor them and be ready to give assistance but as long as everything is normal then you should be able to sit back and watch. If the panting and being in pain without any kittens then a vet might be needed. Stay alert and if needed review th links StefanZ sent out. Good luck on the babies.

It looks like she is trying to get comfortable. she is pretty. Is she allowing any tummy rubs? She looks like a Torties
