I don't know! She seems to be peeing and pooping okay..she is leaking something, we've established that. It seems to look like it's going to dilate then close up again sort of.

Tally survived a litter of six 7 years ago.  In fact, her son is my little man, Heathen, my profile pic.  But it stressed me beyond belief, so I understand.  lol  It was the coolest thing to witness though.  She knows you love her and are there for her, that calms her down.

I imagine the swollen anus is due to the diarrhea. You know, a visit to the vet would not be out of place, if it's not too expensive. He or she can relieve your mind about everything that is going on.

I had a tortie once, too, and she had 36 kittens all told.

I think you should put a warm compress on her anus, and consider a trip to the vet to make sure things are okay.

The vet is so expensive here :( almost $100 just to see the animal! I will do the warm compress for a bit. God I hope she's okay..I really thought she would be able to go through this process alright :( plus we don't get paid for another two days. I know it's going too be expensive to raise the kittens before sending them to good homes but we are prepared to do that, I just didn't think she would be labouring until next week

Honestly, her anus has always looked like that. I think anyone's would look like this after pooping three or four times a day, everyday for over a week lol poor thing. But in all seriousness it has always looked like this and she just finished her worm treatment a month ago. It may also be like this because she eats a fair amount of treats and she's been eating more kitten wet food..what goes in must come out.

Hey I just joined wanted to say congratulations on your new momma and I hope that everything goes great. Our cats seem to have got pregnant at around the same time!! I believe my girl got pregnant around the 20th of December but I'm not 100%. I hadn't realized she was in heat so I didn't give it much thought but I know it was before Christmas. Here's our girl.

@bellabean  - By my calculations, your kitty isn't due for 10 more days, so you've got a while to wait. The signs you've seen so far indicate she's getting ready, but there is still some time yet.

I hope everything goes well for you also! I've been an utter mess the last couple weeks. I have racked my brain trying to prepare but I still feel stressed :( I just really want her to be okay through this and her kittens to be okay as well. I'll be heartbroken if something happens to Bella or her babies. She's been off and on contracting today, I wiped her bum with a warm cloth like we had talked about and she didn't like it much and it makes her body twitch and ripple. She's resting uneasily mostly and crying for me to sit with her. She's still pooping lots and eating lots, as well as drinking water. She's still between nests and spots and still really wants out of the room. I think @DreamerRose is right though, IF I am correct as to when her and buttons mated then she shouldn't be due until next week.

Is she still having discharge today? It does seem to early in her pregnancy to be loosing her mucus plug... I would consider taking her to the vet If you could...

Felt and saw some strong kicks today! She's sleeping a lot and eating a little less but I'm not seeing the discharge and her bum looks better, so I'm feeling better about things. She's extremely attached to me right now but that's okay, I'm just staying home with her as much as possible :)

How's your little lady doing today?

Sorry for the late reply, she's doing good. She's been very restless but has lots of movement the past few days! Was going crazy playing with her toy mouse last night and just LOOOVES belly rubs, she used to HATE anyone touching her belly. She's definitely nesting and is starting to eat less wet food but snacks on her dry food and treats. Today was her "probable due date" but because I don't know when they actually mated, it's just a waiting game now! :)
