Cat is pregnant and leaking, help!

OK so a week ago i figured out my cat was not a boy and infact a girl and is pregnant, I do not know how far along she is but she is pretty big. Like 10 minutes ago she started leaking something watery, its clear but i don't know what it is, did her water break? is she having a miscarrege? or is it something else? please help.

If theres something leaking out, it could be the beginning of labour, but I am no expert..the others should be along soon to give you advice

Welcome to TCS....it could be the start of labor....I would set her up in a room with a nursing box, litterbox and kitten food and water. Make sure she has NO OPPORTUNITY to get outside between now and when she has her kittens and is spayed because cats can become pregnant again as early as a week after giving birth.

DO you know how far along she is.... Also is it leaking from that area or the teats...

...she was starting labor...she has had 4 kittens so far ( i think, she wo't really let me look), I don't know if more are coming or if that is it...I made her a nice place to have them but she kept wanting to have them on my bed, I wouldn't let her so she went into the closet...wow, and to think only a week ago I thought she was a boy........SO what do I do with the kittens now? they are on the carpet should I pick them up and put a blanket or sometihng under them? Should I even touch them? or should I just leave them totaly alone?

Im so happy thought, they are so cute

well i had one of my queens last year who had 2 litters and i saw her thought both labours and she aloud me to touch them but i do think it aldepends on the queen

If possible....I would move the family to a quite room where mom has everything she needs and there is a door between mom and getting outside. If this is a stray, you need to let mom be the one to dictate how you interact with her and her kittens. Some moms will see your interaction as a threat and start to move the kittens to unsafe locations...which is why a room that is not used much and has a door is usually recommended. Also, now would be the time to ensure that mom is eating kitten food so that she has extra nutrition to feed her kittens. At the age of around 10-12 weeks, the kittens can be placed into homes and mom can safely be spayed.

ok, so she had 5 kittens total, they look all black but 1 has a white face....I would put her in a diffrent room but I have little brothers and sisters and they would get inot them. Shes fine in my closet...and I thought I wasn't suppose to let her outside?...am I suppose to let her outside?......and she lets me touch them, I had to seperate them for a second cus it was hard to count them because they are all black and blend into each other

thanks everyone...I will try to get pictures later for you.

Do not let her outdoor...make sure that she is kept indoors only until she is spayed.

Katie

hey congrats and welcome! yeah like Katie said do not let her outside. is she taking care of the babies good?

Yeah she has been taking care of them good, she hasent gotten up at all though ( she can walk and stuff she just hasn't left that spot). She got hecka skinny!...she won't eat her dry food though, I haven't been able to go out and get her some canned food so all I can do is feed her chicken, she loves that, but i don't think it fullfills all her needs

and I guess I have to go get a litter box too...She has never ever gone to the bathroom in the house. She just meows till I let her outside, Im so thanful for that, I'v never had to clean the carpet or something, or a litter box....She will know how to use a litter box right?

Fix her up a litter box and place it on the other side of the room from where the babies are, put in her food and water dishes as well as any favorite beds or toys she may have. She will need to eat a lot now that she is nursing, so give her plenty of good, high-quality canned and dry in a kitten food variety. She needs the extra calories now.
