My rescue cat should be due anytime now .I feel the baby's moving but about 3 or 4 days ago once in the morning and once at night she will throw up. Last night she had diahreea. She is still eating and drinking just not eating as much as she usually does (that started today). Are these signs that she will go in labor soon or is there something else wrong?

How long have you had this rescue cat?  Are you fostering her?  Has she seen a vet since she got pregnant?

She will give birth 2 - 3 weeks after you first noticed the kittens moving.  The throwing up is a little worrysome.  Keep an eye on her.  Have you changed food or anything lately?

Here are some articles that nay come in handy.

Yes she has been to a vet but that was at the beginning. Have had her for a couple of months now. Didn't know she was pregnant when we first brought her in. I had given her a cat food can which she has had before many times and done great but it was a different one and that's when she started throwing up but I have since then stopped giving her that so now only dry food.

She needs wet food as well as dry.  Kitten food is best so she has plenty of nutrients for the kittens while she is pregnant and nursing.

The reason I asked about the vet is you should be able to call and ask questions over the phone if your cat is one of his patients.

Her body may be preparing to go into labor soon. Is she having any discharge?

Sounds good! You should weigh them every day to make sure all are gaining enough. You will likely have a runt.

You can move them now to a clean, dry nest if you want. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
