I read your post on that. It was very sad. I have been worried about her that is why I figured I would make the apt. so that way if I needed to go I already had an apt. She is getting moodier tonight. I just had my hand on her belly and she was fine then all the sudden she turned around and tried to bite me. Then as I was pulling my hand back she got me with her claws. She has been like that off and on for the last few days. I am wondering if it is because she is having a contraction or something and since she is hurting she doesn't want me touching her.

oh it dosent sound good...gosh I hate to worry you I know your stressed enough right now but that's what that cat at my moms house did. One minute she was fine the next she was biting. It was almost like she was saying "do something for me please I can't do this on my own" I was scared to try and pick her up, then she dissapeared and then mom found her passed away.

Well everything is good this morning. She is back to her old self. She has no discharge, is active, and loving again. I think last night was just she was tired. She is a snappy cat anyways. Before she was pregnant she would only let me touch her when she wanted me to so I am not suprised to get scratched. I will let you all know.

I've read all your posts. I do hope you will keep her indoors until she is spayed. I had a friend whose cat kept getting out and she ended up having 5 litters of kittens. Although the experience can be wonderful, trying to place all those kittens puts a serious burden on the owner and a toll on the mom cat. I would highly recommend that you keep her in a room where she doesn't have access outdoors (even accidentally) to avoid her going back into heat and trying to get out again...and I would schedule her spay for when the kittens are between 6 to 8 weeks of age.

Oh she will not be getting pregnant again. I am getting her spayed 6 weeks after these kittens are born. There will be no more baby kittens. Thanks for the advice though.

You are welcome...believe me, I understand the drive cats can have to get outdoors...and I only mention this because my friend went through it. If you need a list of low cost clinics in your state....just let me know.

Oh sorry I thought I had posted it. They said it could be any day now but that everything seems fine. He said that he is not sure what the discharge is since she wasn't having any at the time. He really didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. I will keep you all posted on what happens.

Well an update. Dora is acting strange this morning. When I got up I waited a while before checking on her. As soon as she saw me she crawled up on my lap which is something she never does. Then she went in the box, which is the one is my room that she never uses. She was digging around in her box and crying or whining. I think maybe it will be soon but I am not getting my hopes up. She is now resting in her box so we'll see.

Thanks I hope you get to have yours soon also. I am not sure about Dora. Now all she is doing is sleeping although she has been more affectionate than normal today. I have just been laying with her with my hand on her belly. The babies are moving tons today. I can watch them and it looks like her stomach is boiling. It is such a neat thing to watch. She has been eating though so I think we may still have a while to wait. Hopefully not but I am not getting to excited.

She is very, very close now ... you will see her start to push and she may grunt or meow a little during these pushes. As the kitten begins to emerge from the birth canal, you will see that it is still contained within the sac and your girl should immediately begin to lick the sac so that it breaks and the kitten will stretch and break through the rest of the way. Your girl will also cut the umbilical cord which is attached to the placenta - make sure there is one placenta for each kitten born. She may or may not eat the placentas - my girl does. Let her eat them if she wants to, otherwise, wrap them up in toilet tissue and flush them away once she had disconnected the kitten.

My girl always eats durning labor not all of them stop eating when they are about to have kittens. If the kittens are super active they are getting ready to be born. You just might have some kittens by tonight!

I hope we have them soon. She is really not doing anything but sleeping. I can feel the kittens more today though. If I rub her belly I can feel where the kittens are at. Not big lumps really but lumps. I just would have expected her to have more signs that she is getting ready to have them. She is not licking herself or anything.

Well still nothing. I have been keeping an eye on her and basically she is still the same. Just sleeping and waking. She seems a little restless but not to much. I am guessing we still have a wait ahead of us. Se has been in her box a few times today but not for that long. She hasn't used the litter box as much a usual though. She just seems to want to rest. She has also moved to the kitchen. I am guessing because now it is the darkest room in the house. I guess I will just keep watching.

Good luck...I know you have been waiting a while in anticipation.

Well all nothing tonight I guess. I am going to try to go to sleep. Hopefully I will have some better news tomorrow. She is now sleeping away so I guess I will take her cue and do the same. Good night.

Man....I am right there with you and Dragonstar...waiting to hear the news from both of you. Hope that it happens soon. My thoughts are with you and have a good night's rest.
