Meet Shia my pregnant baby :)

not today shes been acting pretty normal today, not home much tomorrow either, getting so impatient now

sorry no bump photos yesterday, will try and get some today but been rather busy, just come home and her tail is vibrating, i came home and she ran (waddled) to me to greet me, being very very vocal, her tail was up in the air and vibrating like mad, i noticed her back end was slightly damp and she hasnt stopped licking it, right now as i type shes going at it, good signs?

She could be either licking to clean the hairs off, or started passing her mucus plug. It depends on if it's goopey wet, or just wet-wet. Sounds like she's getting close either way!

I can't tell what kinda wet she doesn't really want me around that area, which is fair enough so can't really check properly

Just keep eyeing her. Surely she's getting ready. I'm watching the clock! Lol! [emoji]128569[/emoji]

It sounds like her water may have broken. She's at least in the early stages of labor. Keep us posted!

Ahhhhhh how exciting......yes keep us a updated.

nothing yet, shes being her usual self now just if i stoke her back she vibrates her tail for some reason lol, only real change in her is shes tolerating Mylo a lot more, usually hes not allowed within whacking distance of her if he is she will whack him, which I can't blame her before she got pregnant he was a massive troll to her, he wouldn't attack her but he'd do minor annoyances like jump off the sofa and onto her while shes having a poo in the litter tray, or her scratch box used to have a roof, the reason it doesnt now was because while she was laying in it once he jumped ontop of the roof and it collapsed on her, hes a bit of a dick basically lol

ran out of battery and didn't want to disturb her so no bump photos instead I'll do a couple of these 2 actually being near eachother lol, I love that Mylo has such a chubby gentlemans face while Shia always looks angry or unimpressed 

Shia really does look uncomfortable, poor dear

I love that he crosses his front feet! Tybalt does that and he looks like a professional business man or private investigator. That's why I call him "the Suit". [emoji]128151[/emoji]

yeah mazie think shes getting a bit fed up now not long though should be week max

I know mammawolf I love it when he does that he looks so gentlemanly, and he can be when he wants to, the size of him and hes been giving Shia half of his food when she finishes her own, he can be a sweetheart to her when he wants to be

not much to report today, woke up and thought I heard a kitten so flung out of bed, turns out it was a seagull outside, damn my sleepy brain xD

shes pretty normal not moving away much hence the rubbish pictures, only could get her up to eat, shes eating little and often, i thought she dropped last night but now she feels massive again so maybe not, her nipples are filling with milk now they're finally unbent  

thats about it really for today, heres the pics again sorry for them being rubbish today

Well, if her nipples are filling with milk then you are within a week of kittens if all goes accordingly. Keep us posted. Near-term pregnant cats don't move around much! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Let's all take estimates on how many she has......i'm thinking 4 or 5.

my thoughts is 3 maybe 4, thats just going on how many I think I felt

I'm going to put my money on 5. [emoji]128176[/emoji][emoji]128513[/emoji]

any idea what cat contractions feel like and how long they last? or does it all depend per cat?

I felt Shias belly and it was rock solid, so tight that I could feel the bodies of a couple kittens perfectly about 30 seconds later it wasn't so tight, she didn't seem in pain at all though she got up to make me stroke her sides I'm not sure

Yes, those are contractions.

oh so she might be in early stages of labour? unless cats can also have braxton hicks.

although if she is I'm kinda worried as shes not touching her nesting box, only place she wants to lay is the bathroom doorway, probably due to the bathroom having heated floors

It could be early labor. Cats don't necessarily labor in their nest. Mine labored everywhere but there, then jumped in the nest at the last minute to deliver the kittens.
