I think we will too. When I'm in the bathroom with her she is very restless and pacing and purring and wanting my attention. Sometimes she'll burrow under her blanket and make the trilling sound or meow. I've decided that I'm going to leave her in there alone with the light off and nightlight on and hope she has them. The meowing has subsided a little although she's still scratching at the door sometimes wanting out. LOL I'm so confused at this point if I should be in there or out here.
Ok -- just checked on her and she is whimpering quite a bit and making other strange noises I'ver never heard. Almost sounds like a dog right now. You know that whimpering sound dogs make? That's what she's doing. I checked her backside and there is now blood coming out. She kept climbing in and out of her nesting box very restless but finally settled in so I covered it (leaving room for her to climb in and out) and left the room. I still hear her whimpering occassionally so it will be anytime now!
I can see her contractions and she is expelling lots of fluids. She's breathing very fast and heavy. She is definately getting ready to push one out. The contractions started about 10 minutes ago. How long normally before she'll push the first one out?
My daughter is sitting with her right now. I took several pics already! I've read here not to use flash when they open their eyes. Is it ok right now? I was snapping away and then remember what I had read about the flash. Here's 2 pics so far.
The black one is now dry and looks more gray like Jada. She just pushed out number 4 which is also black or gray! 4 so far! 2 red/white tabbies and 2 gray.
I'm not sure if she's done or not. What should I do about the mess? Do I leave her and the kittens be right now or should I go ahead and clean up the soiled blankets and sheets and give her clean ones? I'm not sure if she's done yet htough?
