I can't see anything in this photo. I would keep an eye out for more and contact the vet if you do. It's possible that it's the mucus plug.

It's perfectly normal to begin seeing vaginal discharge a week before kittens are due. Is it clear or pinkish?

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 7, 2016

Personal I'm colour blind so can't really accuratlytell u what colour see. It's a darkish colour thou. I'd say brown. If u zoom right in I thinks it's there. It doesn't smell or anything so Ihopefully it is nothing...

I'd say it's nothing to worry about. It's the body moving towards labor and delivery.

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 7, 2016

Okay thanks!! That's a great relief. Was a bit worried then.

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 7, 2016

She's started nesting behavier now. Has been digging around in the next box we've set up for her.

Sarthur2 · Apr 7, 2016

That's a sign that she's getting closer!

I agree, totally normal. The process begins before the babies come, some a week early, some hours before. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She's been really clingy all day and has been meowing at me constantly. She's also had a little bit of sloppy mousse poo. She's been grooming her stomach non stop and has now gone to sleep in her nesting box but is still eating like a champ. She's on day 58 today.

Sarthur2 · Apr 11, 2016

She needs to carry a few more days if your calculations are correct, but it sounds like her hormones are in full swing as she gets closer! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 11, 2016

Yep there correct. That's what I'm worried about. In humans a few days doesn't make a difference but I know with cats it does.

Sarthur2 · Apr 11, 2016

Let's hope it's just pre-labor then. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She's climbed into her nest box today at about 3pm ad hasn't left since. Shes mainly sleeping and keeps on moving around and 'building' a nest with the towels. It's just past 5pm now. Every so often her lower half tenses and she relexes. I'm guessing this is stage 1. How long will it last for? She was doing this a little bit last night as well?

Sarthur2 · Apr 16, 2016

It does sound like labor. Stage one can last up to 24 hours. Then comes pushing. Let us know how it goes! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 16, 2016

Do all cats stop eaing before labour. She certainly hasn't.

talkingpeanut · Apr 16, 2016

Nope! There is no always for cats in labor.

kittykitcat2233 · Apr 16, 2016

Lol okay. That's the best way i've heard someone put it [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]

talkingpeanut · Apr 16, 2016

Ha! Revising my statement slightly - it should always be treated as an emergency if mom is actively pushing for more than 30 minutes with no progress, if she is bleeding excessively, or otherwise in distress.

Keep asking questions! We're here!

Sarthur2 · Apr 16, 2016

Some cats deliver a kitten or two, take a break, get up to eat, then go back and have more kittens! Others refuse to eat. All cats are different! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
