Sponge didnt even look swollen before but she is a little strange sometimes. LOL. Sponge held her tail up like that a few days before she went into labor. Hopefully Skittles is only going to hold it up for a short time. I think every cat is different just like every human is different. I'm going to bed now, I just had to get back on here and check before I got off for the night. I will be back first thing in the morning to check on her. Hopefully she will have them tonight sometime. Sending good vibes your way!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know excatly how you are feeling right now, its SO stressful so (((((((((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))) for you! I hope you can get some rest.
