I have a pregnant cat who in my opinion is too young or small to have kittens. She was giving to me by a neighbor. Anyway she is ready to give birth. Since yesterday she started acting strange. Yesterday morning she was acting fine, but midday she was moving her head around strangely. She's eating and drinking fine. She's been not moving around much. "Nesting" is what it's called. I got a good look at her today and her eyes don't seemed focused. Has anybody ever heard of cat's losing eyesight while pregnant? I am concerned. I have yet to feel her stomach and see if the babies are still moving. The kittens were kicking and moving as of yesterday. Please help me with advice if anybody knows anything.

No I have never heard of a cat losing their vision having kittens. I would have her checked by your vet if you feel that something is going on with her vision.

Welcome to TCS...I would definately have her checked out by your vet.
