My cat, Cali, is around 8/9 weeks pregnant but I would really like to specifically know how close her due date is.

She has a hard belly but it hasn't dropped yet. The kittens are really easily felt along her stomach but there hasn't been any signs of nesting.

Her nipples are very red as this is obviously her first pregnancy, but they are dry and flaky, and when I was rubbing coconut oil on them, a small amount of white substance came out. I haven't taken her temp yet because I read that that can really stress her out. She's getting so big that she can barely eat out of her rounded bowl. :) 

If you have any advice or experiences you could share with me it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi , I'm sure she hasn't got long left and has for nesting my queen didn't! Even though I set her up a nesting box she just decided to have them on the sofa. The night she went in to labour a few hours before she was more affectionate and wanted me to rub her belly ! A lot ! And she hadn't let me do that all the way through her pregnancy . She ate normal too . Hope that's helped :)

LOL, I think that its possible for my cat to want to give birth on her fav chair :) My cat really only lets me pet her stomach when she's sleeping and more guarded when she's awake.

That sound just how Hazel was , she would get really fed up and didn't really want to be fussed ! But that all changed when she went into labour !! She wouldn't let me leave her side! If I stopped stroking her she would meow really loud at me till I carried on !! And I left the room to get a towel and she howled like a dog lol till I came back . It was lovely knowing she wanted me with her by her side through it and how much trust she had with me .... Can't wait to see your queens little kitties

Hi sorry me again, I've been doing some reading and I believe she's at beginning of week 8? I was wondering if her stomach will get bigger in the last week of pregnancy because my girl does seem to be fairly small compared to others around her time in pregnancy.  

Again any past experiences would be very helpful. :)

It will get bigger and feel harder, but it really depends on how many kittens she's carrying. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
