Some advice please

I toke this cat in in the beginning of March when I had her off this owner he said she not long given birth to a kitten on the 8th Feb she had 1 kitten but didn't survive and she been outside since :/ now I've taken her in she is very heavily pregnant, she such a loving friendly cat but not sure when she is due she quiet big and round like a football and this morning she had loose light brown stool.. now if she gave birth on the 8th Feb and then got let out could she have caught straight away coz she defo seems like she's towards the end... poor kitty :/ and soon she had her kittens she be spayed as soon as she's allowed poor little thing :/

Yes, poor thing! Thank you for taking her in!

Have you made a nest for her? Is she eating lots of wet and dry food?

She can be spayed when the kittens are 8 weeks old.

Cats frequently have loose stools prior to going into labor to clean out their system. It does sound like she is close. Keep an eye on her and ask your questions on this same thread. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I've set up a box for her inside but she won't come in in the day time she likes sitting out in my porch (doors and windows r locked) she just sleeps out there all day then comes in on the evening (think coz my kids r to loud for her) she's on dry kitten mix with adult food (she won't eat wet food) I haven't noticed any discharge and I help her by cleaning her behind as she can't reach . I checked her temp this morning at it was 37.1c

Everything sounds normal to me. Put her nest in a quiet, private place - such as your bedroom closet. Show it to her. Put her food, water, and litter nearby. You'll want to keep the dog and kids away from her for now. Pregnant cats can be aggressive in order to protect their kittens. If she's in your bedroom you'll be able to close the door once the kittens come. Cats need to feel safe.

Can you set up a nest for her on the porch? I would include a heating element for sure. You're right that she'll need somewhere quiet.

Thank you for caring!

It's so cold out there there is a box out there with blankets for her but I'm checking on her ever hour and encourage her to come in the warmth seeing as kids in school but she's to happy out there I don't have any heaters for her to stay out there

If it's cold on the porch that's dangerous for the kittens. Can you set her up in a room and tell the kids they're banned for now? Ideally, you could set her up with a nest in a closet. Closet door is then ajar and she has access to the room with litter box and food and water.

I don't have any spare rooms for her buy I have tryed her to go in my room which kids don't go in my 2 older 1s r pretty good but I have a 2 yr old that adores her but she just want to be left alone or when he is in bed she like to be with me, I've taken her upstairs to my room a few times but she don't like it. She don't seem stressed out or anything she's a very quiet loving cat

It would be for her own good if you could get her to settle in your room, even if she doesn't like it at first.

Yea I thought the same I've just brought her in and she seems happy enough and snuggled up in her box quiet hard as I have another cat that I had since she was a kitten had her for 9yrs now and they don't get along so I try separate them as much as I can.. there's 2 bowl of food 1 in the kitchen 1 in the porch and the pregnant 1 eats them both think that's y she likes going out the porch lol.. her belly quite round and loose stools today so it should be any day this week now, so I just keep her in out from the porch. Her vulva seems a little open is that coz she already had a litter?

No, it's because her body is preparing for birth. She's very close - a day or two most likely. Keep her in your bedroom now. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Will do thanks for advise

this is gemgem

she is so uncomfortable

I'll bet! She looks pretty big! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

She keeps shaking 1 of her back legs I'd that normal? She do look like she's going to burst lol

Yes, cats tend to shake their back legs sometimes when they are uncomfortable or during contractions.

So hard to judge when she is due all I know is she gave birth on the 8th Feb and been let out ever since so by going by that and the size of her I thinking she's around 61days so she could go any day now? If it's right that is she just shot up from the sofa and went straight to her box scratching it oh I'm on pins lol

Just went in to check on her and she stood by her food and had what it seemed like is tightenings can that be a start or is that brain braxton hicks if cats have them lol

That may be contractions. It looks like ripples. They can have Braxton-Hicks though. But she's probably in Stage One labor, which can last for 24 hours. She's probably been in it for awhile already from your description.
