My cat doesn't want anyhting to do with the cat crate. Normally she has the run of the house, but since she is so close to delievering I had kept her locked up in my bedroom, away from the dog and the kids.

So am I......I am checking on her every hour or so. And everytime I walk in the room she has to get up and pace. I am also worried, because she likes the tile floor in my bathroom. The problem is I just can't shut the door to the bathroom, because my bathroom is in my bedroom. I can lay in bed and look straight at my bath tub. The toilet and the shower are behind half a wall, but it is all tiled. I think she likes it, because it is cool. My concern is I don't want her to have the babies on the tile floor. If I am in there I know that it won't happen, but I can not stay in there, because I have kids. If my husband was home it would be no big deal. But, he is out of town for work. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do??? My room is the only avalible room I have to put her in.
My cat didn't want to have anything to do with her nesting box until after she had her kittens. We had the box in my sister's master bath because it was the only out of the way place. She had paced around all day so we put her in the bathroom, and I decided I couldn't go to sleep and hope that she would wake me when she started labor with her crying, so I put a blanket in the bathroom intending to sleep on the floor in there with her, and as soon as I laid down she laid down next to me, and began pushing out kitten number one. The best I could do was but a towel on the floor and let her have them there. In the morning I moved them into the box and that's where they stayed. It's quite possible she wants you there for the delivery, maybe you can get a sitter. I know Phoebe wouldn't have hers without me there, everytime I moved even a little, she got up and started acting nervous. I've never been so still for so long.
Good luck with your kitty.

My husband will be home soon and he gets to sit with the kids. I have done it with no break for 2 weeks, so he can take a little time to spend with his kids, so I can spend sometime with my kitty.

Well the vet showed me how to do Cloe's temp. the other day, and I just now braved doing it for the first time. If I am right her temp is 98.6. But, wouldn't that mean that she was already in labor??? Or does it mean she should be starting labor???
She will soon start labor. That sounds about right, my cat Ash's temp was 97 degrees 24 hrs before she had given birth
Since June 1st the vet said 1-2 days, I'd say call him if she doesn't have them by morning. Better safe than sorry. Any more discharge?

There was a small amount of clear discharge, not very much though.
Can be any time now

Still, no babies. Today she is more vocal, meowing her head off everytime I walk in the room. There is alot more of the mucus discharge today then there was yesturday. I think if she doesn't go into labor today or tonight, I will call the vet tomorrow.

My problem is I have a 6 and 7 year old. And they are not quiet in the least bit. There is no way I can bring them in my room with me. I guess I will just have to check on her more frequently.

I hope that soon you will have kittens! With her temperature dropping she should be getting closer and closer. . .make sure to give us an update when she gives birth! If possible, I think I speak for all of us when I ask if it is possible to show us some pictures.

Well it is not looking promising*sp* for kittens today. Maybe tonight if not tonight then to the vet we go tomorrow.
Tanya...I do hope your mom cat is now fixed...with as many cats as you have..it is important that they are all fixed and kept indoors so that they cannot become pregnant or become inbred.Originally Posted by Motherofeight

My mom cat hasn't even had her babies yet. But, as soon as she is done then she will be fixed. My other cats are already fixed.
