I got her from a coworker who moved and did not want to take Gracie. Unfortunately. But not unfortunate for us as we love her much.
Does your co-worker know when she was last in heat or when she may have mated? That would help to know if she's even due yet.
Thank you for taking her in. She's a beautiful cat.

Okay. Was just wondering if she maybe had any diarrhea or another reason for the blood.
Things might be okay. Blood is not generally a good thing at this point, especially if she's not due. But there's no way to know right now. Sending a couple prayers for momma kitty and her babies.

She didn't seem to know but did say she was pregnant. Honestly I don't think she wanted to deal with the birthing process. I'm very worried about poor Gracie. She's dragging blood all over my house! Any ideas on how to get that out of the dang carpet.

She's down licking herself again. We have her closed off upstairs trying to keep the kids away from her.
If she's bleeding continuously, to the point it's everywhere, she really needs to be seen. At least for an x-ray or ultrasound to see what is going on. If she loses too much blood, she can go into shock.

I don't think she's lost that much but it seems like a lot because she has so much fur.
Something is not right. Cats do not bleed like this normally. Can you call the emergency vet?

I will go ahead and call them for 2nd opinion.
This is about your cat. Something is not right. Let me know what the emergency vet says. I'm guessing they will want to see her.
It does not sound like your cat is laboring. It just sounds like she is bleeding, which is not normal.

The lack of visible contractions and the blood is worrying me too.

They think she is fine also. Vet tech was who I talked to, vet stepped out to get dinner. They took my number and they're calling me back.
With all of my experience, I find it disturbing these vet techs think she's okay. I hope they are right.

She keeps looking around the house like pacing back and fourth but does not seem distressed and she seems to prefer laying on cold tile floors.
She is probably in labor. Do you see "rippling" movements in her belly? If so, those are contractions.
She is likely to have a stillborn kitten. With any luck, there will be a live one after. If this goes on too long, it's not good.

Thank you so much for the responses... I just talked to the tech who had spoke to the dr. They said like with a human there will be some blood. Go give her space and let her do her thing. They said I need to be concerned if she is pushing for over an hour and there is no kitten.

I don't see rippling but I've been paying more attention to her bloody vagina and feeling her belly. Her belly is getting tight. I did think I felt a movement by a kitten earlier.
