I have a pregnant cat who is due. I noticed watery discharge and since she has stopped grooming herself down there, I wiped her and its light brown. Her stomach has also been getting hard around the kittens, so I assume Braxton hicks? She's very affectionate, no labor signs such as change in appetite or mood. I'm also feeling the kittens and anatomical landmarks. I'm impatient, I know lol! I've been waiting in these babies for 3 weeks and is labor finally about to start?

When have you began to feel them move?   Anyways, its just to prepare yourself, rub her tummy if she so wants, and wait...

Hey thanks! Oh gosh, It was probably 2 weeks ago I was able to feel them move, she's having 2 (3 would surprise me).

OK, so at most one week left!
Give or take what I originally stated, I had exams and finals so my time frame stinks. I will give her another week, she's already producing milk. I'm so thankful you have given me a time frame! Thanks so much!
