2-3 Year Old Cat Possibly Pregnant

Thank you very much That helped a lot. And mom and I are discussing calling the emergency vets on Monday, so they know to be prepared, just in case. The closest is about twenty minutes away. Mom felt the kittens move today

It looks as if our princess has found a place to have her kittens. She hangs out under there all day unless it's dinner time. We'll put a box under there with some blankets until I can manage to clean out the enclosed porch, which is where we kept our cats after they get fixed and where we put the babies since my aunts cats are in the apartment. She also looks very striking with this rainbow on her, and she loves having people touch her belly. I'll sit there waiting to feel movement and she'll just be purring away

Very sweet!

Very sweet.  that may not be the place she has chosen for her nest.  Cats in the wild don't want to attract predators or mess the nest so they don't go into it until the last minute.  It must be instinct because house cats are the same way.

Ah true. Mom and dad are concerned about her going under the bed when she gives birth. It's a king sized bed that's low to the ground and only the cats can fit under there. How do we block it off?

The easiest way is to close the door to their bedroom.

Ah but she doesn't leave the bedroom. She only likes my mother really, and my mum is always up there. That chair is in the bedroom. Mum put together a nesting box for her though, and I'm gonna set up another. We are scared of this happening under the bed. Also, is it okay if I don't feel the kittens move every time I set my hand on her for a bit? I have every other time but today I think it's just gas bubbles

You don't have to feel the kittens move every time. At the very end you may not feel them at all

You will just have to hope she goes in a nesting box to have her kittens. If she goes under the bed it is because she feels safe there.

I was worried cuz I hadn't felt them move and it seems they've moved downward a little bit? Like I could feel them on the sides before and now it's lower toward her actual belly. She's only got about a week to go if I'm right about her due date (July 24).

But I was rubbing her belly and one of them gave me a nice strong roll. It was really neat to feel

Where could I find calcium supplements for her? I'm worried she won't be getting enough, even with the kitten chow. I don't think I recall seeing any at Walmart, but a pet store is within walking distance (I really need to get my license)

Give her the KMR to drink. It contains calcium. Can you get KMR?

I sure can!

Excellent!

I get my paycheck tomorrow, with payroll actually being right this week so it doesn't screw up last week - hooray! And on Tuesday, I get to see my own little peanut again. It's gonna be a great weekend, I can already tell!

You sound very happy about things! That's nice.

So I've determined by the way they wiggle when I put my hands on her there's three or four little babies in there. She's noticeably pregnant now, too- when she lays in the window she looks like a bowling pin. Less than a week til her due date!

It's exciting! Is she drinking kitten milk now?

Not yet, I got the weekend off this week though so maybe when I go home tomorrow- relaxing out at camp currently with my grandparents and half of my cousins.

Sad news bears for myself. There was no heartbeat on my ultrasound this morning - my baby stopped developing three days ago, at ten weeks gestation. I'm doing alright, my mum and my fat captain haven't left my side yet. 

Better news bears for Princess - she looks like she swallowed a couple tennis balls. I can feel the kittens moving all the time, and all she does is eat and sleep. Due date is Friday!

So sorry about your baby. I had a similar experience once. Glad Princess is doing well.
