winter's temp.

Winters rectal temp is 99.4 is that low enough or does it need to drop more than that before she goes into labor. she had been hiding out but now she follows me everywhere I go and is now eating like a horse again. The past few days she had not eaten hardly anything. any answers as to whether or not I should be expecting them soon?

It really depends on what her normal body temperature is normally, but yes, I would assume that since it has dropped that labor is impending in the next 24-48 hours.
I have had cats stop eating before labor, so that is a good sign that things are progressing, but if she goes back to eat from time to time, that is normal too. A few of my girls will pig out right before delivery.
It does sound like it will be soon. She may want you to sit next to the birthing box with her, and reassure her.

thank you very much. Everyone has been a great help to me this time.

I have never taken the temp, but my queen doesn't eat just before she goes into labor, but she has many different changes in bahavior I can tell right away when shes ready. Good luck, it sounds like it will be soon

I did the temp thing... didn't work, it was like 99. somthing for 4-5 days. Also missy ate like a pig right up untill she started labor,hat might be the cause with winter ,is this her first litter?

no this is her second litter.

well she may repete patterns? how many day is she?

not really sure. I never let her out after january. so I think that my 6 yr. old must have let her out and let her back in without me knowing it. she has been nesting for 1 1/2 weeks now. except today she has been following me or laying next to me and if I get up and walk away she looks at me like where do you think you are going.
