Nope. Totally normal for cats to look smaller when the kittens drop into the birth canal.
Okay thank you I was just worried cause like her belly was the size of a basketball if not bigger she could barley walk on her little legs 2 days ago and now she's all slim lol

You are seeing dried milk. You can put olive or vegetable oil on her stomach and nipples to prevent chapping. She's very close if the kittens have dropped. It's usually about 48 hours from dropping to birthing. Pregnant cats are extremely affectionate! Keep us posted!

Sounds like she may have lost her mucus plug. When Mama went into labor she was breathing heavy and it looked like she had kittens dancing inside her sides. I know now it was contractions.

The hard and soft stomach was probably some light contractions. She really is getting close.

She's in labor. If this started yesterday, you'll probably have kittens within 24 hours. The discharge is normal.

Well, she's not in stage one labor right now then. It will probably start back up again today. If it doesn't, you will want to call your vet.

Pretty much all of her behavior right now can be attributed to the fact that she is pregnant and close to delivering. She's comforting herself and acting on her maternal instincts.

She's been sleeping a lot today she's only got up like 3 times twice to eat and drink and once she played with my other cat and used the bathroom she Also slept all night without getting up is this her way of gaining up strength?
