She Ate....

OMG she goes to the vet in the morning, but for a week she has eattin maybe 4 or 5oz...today at 3 I made her food 6oz and she ate it and had a clean plate by 9.....Plus I could tell she ate a little dry kibble...Could this mean something...

o LOL Maybe we are closer. I know it has been 8 days of no eating. I just took her picture I will upload it now...

Baby didn't eat alot the last couple of weeks before she delivered either. She binged, I used to tease her and call her a binge eater. I am sure those kittens are taking up her stomach space and she doesn't feel much like eating. Then the hunger just overwhelms her and she must eat to sustain herself and her little ones. She is just getting ready the pretty little boat.

Here she is..

A few more

One of my own babies was 10 lb, 5 oz and I know just how she feels ...it was this sense of needing the food but not being able to cope with it once it got down the hatch.

SHe is sleeping right now where I took those pictures but she seem like she is in distress. She tightens up.... Her face wiggles.

Okay, found the thread Mom Good luck to you too.

Poior Skittles. She look like she's not only carrying kittens, but they're bringing bags of their own litter and food with them. LOL

If she's eating again, that's a good sign. Don't forget she's also not moving around as much as she used to so she probably isn't as hungry for that reason too.

Wait until she's nursing. She'll eat everything and more.

Right now she is purring but looks so tight.. Hard to explain..

Hmm... Sounds like she might be getting closer? Do cats get Braxton-Hicks? She's not that far away now, is she?(from her due date).

Poor thing. She looks so footballesque!

Oi! She's huge! Kittens better come soon or Momma's gonna burst!

Good luck at the vet tomorrow!

Her due date is May 19th the latest. I know I was told by the Vet April 14th She was pregnant at least 25-30 days Then I went April 24th she had xray done. She has 6+ babies and big... So I have no clue when she is really do...Right now she is wondering and licking her tummy. She is losing fur like nothing.

I think the vet is going to pass out at how big she has gotten.. Here is the pic in time frame

Easter

Week later

May 2nd

Few days ago I think 5

Tonight

She may be in early labor if she is wriggling up her face, I don't know if they have Braxton Hicks, I hated those things. I was always so sure they were the real thing. By my 5th child I refused to leave the house until my kids and my coach were begging me lol. I think she is ready to go any day now, it won't be long now.

SHe is in the hall cleaning her belly like crazy I wonder. I will let her be and see what happenes. I am sure she isnt due till May 16 earliest

Be ready ! It's been a really long time since my cat had kittens, but it is sounding quite familiar, the more you talk about it...Maybe she is a little further along than they think. Even if they are off by 3 days, and she has them 2 or 3 days early because of how many she has...Can't wait for baby pictures !

I am going to take her to bed. She sleeps with me every night. She even meows for me to get my butt to bed so off I go. I will post if anything changes.

If you see her whiskers coming forward together towards her nose I'd say that's a contraction, but maybe she is just stretching.

Oh getting so close. GL at the vet today!
