My cat is about 9 weeks pregnant, and has had diarrhea for the past 3 days. We try to let her only have kitten food, but we have 4 other cats and she likes to eat their food. I'm worried that the kittens aren't getting enough nutrition. Any advic?

This may be early labor. I would continue letting her eat as much as she wants and maybe give her some kmr to drink.

I'm trying to feed her kitten food, before she eats my other cats food. I also try to keep the kittens good put away, so the other cats don't eat it. I can still feel kittens moving, and they seems stronger one of our cats just got over a gallbladder infection, so the blast thing I want is another sick cat especially a pregnant one.

You can feed her canned pumpkin for the diarrhea.  Not the kind with the pie spices added.  Just mix some in with the wet.  I'm sure the kittens are getting enough, the kitten food just has more nutrients.  Her body will give them what they need.  So don't worry too much.  A combination is fine.

Soon she is going to become protective of her unborn kittens.  She is going to need her own space that the other cats cannot get to with her own litter box, food and water nearby.  I don't think she is in labor yet because she would be hiding and hissing at the other cats.

Thank you. She has a nice spot set up, with a cat carrier with a towel and blanket, her own food and water and her own litter box. As of right now, she hardly goes in there. We even moved the other cats stuff into another room, so she'll have privacy. She's all set for when the time comes. I'll try the pumpkin idea.

My cat is due tomorrow (although I know she might not actually have them tomorrow) and I want to live stream it. If anyone wants to watch, go ahead and follow me and turn notifications on. It would be great if I had a few people watching, who would be willing to give advice during labor. My user name is Punky the pregnant cat.

The app is called periscope. If you don't already have the app, its free, and easy to install. Once you sign up you can search for me and then follow me.

I'm not sure. It looks like the kittens have dropped, and she has been hiding more, and a bit more vocal, and might have hemorrhoids.

Wonderful news! I hope she continues to do well. Make sure the kittens all latch and nurse this evening.
