Hiya guys, I have a pregnant cat, I don't remember exactly when she became pregnant but I know she's near the end!

She's very large, she's taken away the fur from her nipples,
Her appetite has gone down, she's sleeping a lot and if she's not sleeping she's cleaning herself..
Her bowls have become looser and wetter.

Today I had a stroke of her tummy when she was laid on her back and could feel her little babies moving around.. But I got incredibly close to her private area and could feel what felt like a kitten in between her legs!? Is this a good sign?

She is probably beginning to "drop" te kittens wandering down into birthing postitions - ie further down.  In there they arent as movable as they were.

So, yes, its nearing, one day or max two left...

Pet and massage her tummy if she allows and wants, it helps her prepare.

Im sending our links.

Good luck!

Observe, if an orphan is much bloated, gas-filled, bloated, have colic, simethicone (google on it) may help.  1-2 drop in the bottle.

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