I'm guessing she has a week or two left but I can't say for sure.
She was dumped at my house a month ago. My step dad son brought her and when be left he never took her with him which annoyed me cause he didn't even take care of her and she's like half bald and was covered in scabs. I've treated most her wounds and she's healed up. She really like me and I guess she's not our cat but she's pregnant. I'm trying to estimate how far along she is so I know what to be expecting babies?
Any help??

She looks very close to me! Can you see or feel any kitten movement?

I haven't seen it much cause the only time I really see her tummy is where I'm giving her lovings. Most the time she buries herself under the blankets. Like completely. Because she's cold. I did get her a thermal bed recently. But she still prefers to bury her self in my bed. I know she's not a fat cat. When she first got here she was skinny.
I just wish I knew more about when she got pregnant so I could know when to expect them so hopefully I'm home.

I have to check before I sit on my bed cause she'll rearrange the blankets to be completely covering her. She was under a pillow with 3 blankets on top of the pillow today

But all of a sudden she's really come out of her shell, she's walking around more and even being playful so I don't know if this as just her trusting me 100% now or if that means she's further away from having them then I thought?

Welcome, and thanks for caring for her! [emoji]128571[/emoji]

Here are some links you may find helpful:

It sounds as though she is trusting you more and more. Have you made a nest for her in a box or bin? She will benefit from eating dry kitten chow and several wet cat food meals daily.

It can seem forever when waiting on kittens to arrive!

I'm feeding her the same thing I feed my 7 month old cat, instinct raw rabbit, and blue buffalo duck mixed half and half.
And yes I cleared out the closet for her and put the litter box,food, water, and bed.
She does go in there alot.

Thank you for taking care of her. I think she is your cat now!

Is your 7 month old male or female? Fixed?

This is the area I have set up for her. The brown bed us so if she's really uncomfortable she can't lay in that. It's really cushy.
The triangle bed us a thermal bed. In the triangle shape I figure it's best for keeping her warm now. But once the kittens are born it unzips to a large bed and I figure the thermal will help keep the kittens warm too. Under the white sheet is pee pads. Behind the towel is where the kittens will go.
The privacy towel she likes. And once they are born I'll put a board up so they can't get our but for now it's easier on mom the way it is. Her litter box is to the side.

I only ask because the female can get pregnant soon after delivery, even within the week. It's great that you don't have to worry with your cat.
Sorry of that came off I was mad at you lol. I'm not. I'm mad at my step brother. I'm a teen yet I have a job and pay for my own cat food. I spend $90 on it. I know when I was getting my cat I had to get him neutered and taken care of.
I'm annoyed because if I can do it there's no reason a 25 year old ex marine can't take care or his cat but instead he neglected her. Then abandoned her.
So the whole, I'm responsible thing. Was actually like. I'm not like him.

How long was she in his care? She really was badly neglected, and you've done an amazing thing for her!
