nesting

My cat Lili who I think is very close to give birth, has gone into her nesting area and tore out all the blankets and is now laying under all of them. Is this a sign? Is it okay if she laying under all of them?

Mine gave birth in the middle of my daughters bed in a tent that she had made out of the comforter. I guess each nester is different

Yes it is a sign, and yes it's okay. Just let her do what she needs.

For soon to be kitties!

Can you make her a sort of tent? That is what I ended up doing one time when a soon to be momcat kept tearing up her bed/nest. I took an old sheet and stripped it out, piled the strips in the nest and took a thin blanket and made a tent over her nesting box. She was perfectly content to give birth there to three kittens.

I really like that idea about making a tent for the momcat to have her babies in it.....I have a pretty big box fot the cat and she did tour the blankets around but she still rather sleep on the floor near the box

I once had a cat - whose nesting area was all prepared and ready - give birth in my bed at night while I was sleeping tho I soon woke up, lol I love the tent idea!!

We are on day 62 and NO signs of anything - no nesting or anything. Best wishes for a healthy delivery - keep us posted!
