Accidental pregnancy

I don't know how else to describe it, other than she feels bony today. Like, you can feel her ribs and backbone today. Is this normal, or something I should be concerned about, and call the vet?

It sounds like the kittens have dropped into the birth canal.

Ok, that makes me feel a whole lot better. So, just keep a close eye on her basically?

I would think so.  Is she eating and using the litter box?

Just nibbles here and there. She's not drinking as much either. She's used the litter box a total of 2 times today. I have to leave in about an hour for a doctor's appointment, and I'm hoping she doesn't have them while we're gone.

It sounds like she's getting close.

I really appreciate all the advice I've received since joining. I was worried something was wrong,  when I went to pet her, and she felt skinny again. She's asleep again on my dresser at the moment. She likes to lay on hard surfaces right now. She's also taking a huge interest in my dirty clothes basket

The babies just dropped, one more milestone on the way to delivery! Not much longer.

Ok, so no kittens She's still very much pregnant. Today, she has been licking the hair off of her nipples. She's been grooming even more obsessively lately. Like, to the point to where her fur mid back to the base of her tail, is super thin now. I did call her vet about that, and he gave us a steroid spray for it, to see if that would help, and so far it has. We have almost gotten rid of the fleas. We're this close to getting rid of them. Die you creepy little things! Lol. I know this may sound gross to some, but I looked at her back end earlier. And it looks like her whisker biscuit is more pronounced today. Could that be a sign of dilating? I'm so nervous/anxious/excited about these kittens. I think she may have five. I know, I know, I keep changing my mind, but she's really big. I'll have to get you guys an updated pic hopefully tonight before I go to bed, and befor she has the babies.

She may be dilating. It's sure to be soon! Any discharge at all?

Not that I've seen, but she's been licking herself quite a bit. She's also looking for a place to nest. I don't think she likes the box we have set up for her. She keeps trying to nest in our dirty clothes basket. I was thinking about making her a nest on the floor of the closet out of old stained ripped up clothes, since she seems to like clothes so much.

I think she would like a nest in the closet!

That's where we have her box, but she just doesn't even acknowledge it. Maybe it's too big? Idk. But I now have the clothes in the wash right now, and I'm just going to put them in a corner of the closet, we have tile in their, so it's no big deal to clean up.

I agree she may want to be on old clothes on the floor. You can always move everyone into the box later if you want. She needs to be comfortable with her nest for giving birth. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Ok, so my husband completely rearrange the closet, and put down a piece of old carpet in the corner for her, that way they're not directly on the tile, and so they don't get cold. I found an old crib bumper, and I'm going to line a laundry basket with that, to cover up the holes in it, and see if she'd prefer the floor, or the basket.

Sounds good! Carpet was an excellent idea!

Any suggestions on improvements?

Ok, so I did some calculations, based on when we first saw the tom, she's 60 days today. We saw him about two days before she got out, and I just found out that my husband saw them together.

So she has perhaps a week left, maybe less.

How's she doing?

Hopefully that takes a little bit out of the guessing game, although it's still unpredictable. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
