This morning I noticed a small amout of clear watery discharge from my very pregnant cat! I'm now excited!!
She is not showing any signs of anything else as of yet. Her nipples seem a lot fuller than yesterday hower she does not seem to be leaking. Is this the start of labor? Also with just some discharge is it possiable that she won't show other signs just all of a sudden contractions start?

Hi-
same here -- my foster pg kitty started shredding newspaper yesterday and today she has a watery discharge -- in fact, sounds just like what your kitty is going through (larger breasts, no obvious milk leaking). I have no idea if this is the beginning of labor, but I know it has to be soon!

it's exciting, isn't it?


It's also interesting that tonight is full moon, and when I worked at an answering service in college, there were always more pg women going into labor during full moon. Here's info on this month's full moon, from www.space.com:

April 13, 12:40 p.m. EDT: The Full Pink Moon. The grass pink or wild ground phlox is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and -- among coastal tribes -- the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn. This is also the Paschal Full Moon; the first full Moon of the spring season. The first Sunday following the Paschal Moon is Easter Sunday, which indeed will be observed three days later on Sunday, April 16.

Keep us posted!

Calm down... put on some classical music... drink some tea... your cat can pick up on your vibes, you know!! The calmer the atmosphere, the calmer the cat...

Uhm...

Yeah. I'd be freaking too.

hee hee-
I've got the baby monitor in the bathroom and the receiver beside my bed! I think she is going to wait until Christmas to have kittens. :p

Sunflower is eating, so I am guessing that I will get a full night's rest tonight! She did swipe toilet paper and add it to her nest, and she has shredded another stack of newspaper.

Let's hope we are both pleasantly surprised with healthy moms and kittens soon,

Kerry
