Ok so im having trouble with posting the pic (dont judge me) but shes definitly pregnant you can feel the kittens moving inside her at some points you can see them anyways her nipples are getting very big she has also been throwing up a little bit the worst episode being around a week and a bit ago she has been very uncomfortable sitting and lying down being very restless whiny when it comes to food in fact today i saw her lie down beside her bed because she was too tired to walk to the bed and today i was also walking into my bathroom when i saw her sprawled out on the mat.

So how far along do you think she is that would be great.

PS.dont suggest the vet no matter how much me and my siblings ask my mum for any shots for her or an ultrasound she will not do it.

She can't have any shots until after she has delivered, so don't worry about that. Are you able to keep her inside and away from intact males until she can be spayed? She can get pregnant again very quickly, which is very dangerous. She also must deliver inside so you can keep her and the babies safe. An ultrasound isn't essential unless mom is unwell.

Do you know when you first felt the kittens moving? It's usually 2-3 weeks until delivery at that point. It sounds like she is very uncomfortable, though l don't know that the fatigue you're seeing is totally normal.

Do you have nests set up for delivery?

How old is she? How many litters has she had?

Congratulations! If you can weigh them every day you will know for sure that they are all thriving!

Please keep mom inside and away from intact males until she can be spayed. Mom and kittens can all be spayed/neutered when the kittens are 8 weeks old. She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery and without going into heat, which is quite unhealthy.

Yep, they need to be 100% separated until mom is spayed.

Can you have Merlin neutered? If he is walking around, he is mating. This produces tons of unwanted kittens. It also puts Merlin in danger of sexually transmitted diseases that are passed through fighting males. Intact males fight over territory and mates; these fights can lead to fatal injuries or diseases.

Both cats are also at increased risk of reproductive cancers if they are not fixed.

Yes, please get your male cat neutered ASAP. And your mom cat will need spaying, or you will have endless litters, which is not good for mom!
