I have a pregnant kitty, not sure how far along she is but just today she has been extremely clingy to me, hasn't wanted to eat, and more vocal than normal. Close to delivering?

It's possible that those could be signs. Do you plan to have her spayed after this litter?

Possibly.  Has she dropped?  The kittens move into the birth canal and she will look slimmer and you will not see or feel as much movement from the kittens.  The mucus plug also comes out and the water breaks a day or two before birth.

here are some articles you will find useful, there are more specific articles at the top of this forum.

Were guessing it was around beginning/middle of september. She hasnt dropped yet, but she does have her milk in. And yes she is getting spayed after this litter.

Boston gave birth yesterday morning to two adorable little babies! But it still feels like there could be another one in there. Could it be there is or just pregnancy weight?

Very cute!  It could be another baby or her uterus could just be stretched from the pregnancy, making her feel a bit lumpy.  

Please note that she can go into heat again in a week.  Please keep her inside.  Do you plan to have her fixed when these kittens are weaned?

Yes, once the kittens have been weaned, she will be fixed.

Is it normal for momma kitty to be nesting again?

Yes, she could possibly have another kitten to deliver. It's just a pause in labor that can sometimes be days apart. Or, she could be having after pains, which may have her thinking she needs to deliver.

It's possible. Sounds like something is up. Time will tell, though it's good she's still nursing and cleaning them. Let us know.
