I posted back awhile ago concerned that my cat Kassie was pregnant. I took her to the dr 2 wks ago and they said she showed the signs of it but that it could also be a false pregnancy. She continued to get rounder in size but I still never really felt movement. The vet had said to wait a couple wks and if nothing by then to go ahead and get her spayed. Well, I had scheduled an appointment for this coming Friday.

Today I was gone and my daughter said that she was acting weird, like letting out a little half meow every little bit while she was laying there sleeping. When I got home, I wanted to see if she was ok and see something on her vulva. Gross looking stuff. When I tried to wipe it off it was like something that wouldn't wipe off cuz it was hanging out of her. Can't explain it. BUT, I took a picture and put it on my photobucket album. If anyone could tell me what it is and if this is what it looks like when they are ready to deliver would be a great help!

Thanks so much!!!

That's what I think it is but, if so, she must've gotten outside later than I had thought! That's why I wanted to see if anyone could tell me if this is normal in case she was getting ready to deliver. The poor thing can't even bend over all the way to clean it off.
It is not just a liquid, it is like tissue or something...I don't know how to explain it. I've searched my house and don't see any babies or mess anywhere.

I would guess she is getting ready to have babies but I have never been thru this before so I'm not positive. Good Luck. I hope everything turns out good.

Is she showing signs of contractions? Any blood?

If you haven't felt movement I wonder if they are alive. It does sound like she is pregnant and is starting delivery but I'd keep a close eye on complications in case the kits aren't alive.

Any Update? It definatley looks like a sac starting to come out, Is it bulging? Or torn? If torn, Call the vet if she hasn't had kittens yet.

For her, she was big. Dr said maybe only a couple were in there IF she were pregnant. Her nipples are big, but I haven't seen any milk.

Also, not sure about the contractions. Haven't seen any blood aside from the thingy hanging from her. I almost want to pull it off/out for her but I'm afraid that I shouldn't.

It definately is not bulging, but is just hanging there. Kinda like a 2in long stringy, slimy thing.

She is walking around alot but is not vocal, since I've been home. Eating almost everytime she gets up. I'm gonna call the vet and see what they say.

She loves for me to rub her and I haven't noticed anything similar to contractions. Her belly doesn't really hang down but more pops out on the sides and it is hard.

Yes exactly. The bulging on the sides Skittles has and she is prego...... I can feel them all there is 6 or 7. Maybe she has only 1 or the empty sac.
