Hey ya I have a cat that just had kittens this morning actually and there adorable ,4 little kitty's[emoji]128518[/emoji] but I also he another cat that is pregnant who we do think is far behind the other one I'll try to take a picture
CT10 it is hard to tell from the Pictures it takes approx 65 days from the time of impregnantion until delivery. Do you have any idea how long it has been? If this cat was impregnated about the same time as the other one you could be having kittens anytime.
Um well we have one that had kittens this morning and we don't think she is anymore then a week behind her but we aren't sure I can show you a picture of the one who had kittens, and also yes they are both young there siblings and they both are not older then 10-12 months which scares me with them being so young could it be dangerous and were not sure when she conceived .
If you arent sure when she got impregnated, there are two nice orientation points to rectyfy your count: The nipples gets usually rosy, and this happens quite exactly on day 21! No rule witout exceptions, but tis rule happens more often than not.
Next point to watch on is when you began to feel them move. This depends a little on how observant you are and how used to palpitate you are, but you may begin to feel them move about 3 weeks before the expected delivery. See them move perhaps 2 weeks before.
The exact day of delivery is difficult to tell, it varies about day 63-67.... But better a couple of days longer than to short. As premature kittens are almost always a fight uphill. More difficult than human babies.
Btw, also your already mom seems to be rather young. Hope it goes well enough. With young moms the maternal instincs are sometimes kicking in late. Although many are surprising good moms when the instincts kicks in.
I will send our links, just if.
Good luck!

Thank you so much and yes they are both young both around the age of 10-12 months and with the one that is still pregnant I have been able to see them move for quite sometime and can feel them move every time I pet her her nipples have been rosey for a while so does this mean soon?
Make sure you keep the mothers indoors and away from intact males because they can get pregnant almost right away after giving birth and you wouldn't want that! Do some research on kitten care because once they get a little older and you have to start on their vaccines and dewormings and any other vet care you want to be ready. Raising kittens isn't cheap. They got pregnant awfully young. Are you planning to spay them once these kittens are weaned?
Yes as I said in a previous post I have two cats well when there both have there kittens weaned we are going to have them spayed and there outside cats so Afr there spayed we are going to have them in for a week after so they can heal before they go back outsaide
I'm wondering the same thing about my cat, I can feel and see the kittens move. She has already made a nesting area, she's not eating as much this week.
Mine is the exact same way she rarely eats but she is an outside cat an we took her in to have the kittens and instead of picking one spot she wonders and sometimes meows while wondering like she is looking for something.
And I might have a tip for you caelencaelen feel her belly and wait if it goes hard and she breaths a Lil heavier this might mean she is having a contraction my other cat started her contractions and about 12-24 hours later she gave birth to kittens. Hope this helps.
Thanks you Cct10
she just got up from her nap, I'll try again later. I'm more anxious about just knowing the kittens will be born healthy without complications :/
