Welcome to TCS boots....one great resource is to read the links in this thread:

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74659

If she is due at any time...you can set her up with a nesting box now...make sure it is in a room that is quiet and have her litter box and food set up in the same room.

If she has been allowed indoors/outdoors..you need to restrict her to indoors only from now until she has her kittens weaned and can be spayed as cats can get pregnant again as early as a week after giving birth.

Again..welcome to the site and keep us posted on her progress.

Boots..that is why we are here..to help you. I understand it can be hard to keep a cat indoors only....but if you feel that will be a problem...setting her up in a large dog crate is an option.

yeah i was thinking bout that as my friend has one when her dog was a puppy so im going to ask her if i may borrow it

this is pics of her in all her pregnant glory haha

got boots a appointment at vets 2day bout 4.30pm uk time for a check up and a idea how far on and how many she is expecting wish me luck im so hoping its soon as i go on holiday in 2 weeks i got someone going to stay here with her whilst im away but i want to be with her when she gives birth as she will need me shes my baby

Oh she is a lovely little kitty. Let us know what the vet says.... so we know when we to check for updated news and hopefully some pictures...

took boots to the vet and she thinks she will have her kittens within the week and she thinks shes going 2 have about 4 kittens aswell and boots is otherwise healthy in all other matters sooo heres hoping all goes good

dont think it will be too long as boots has started to go into her box not for long though she lies in for 5 minutes then goes n lies on her side on the floor im guessing thats a good sign ?????

Have you been able to see/feel the kittens moving at all? How about any signs of contractions? Is she going in and out of her litter box, pushing but not producing anything?

yeah i see them moving and feel them all the time and her tummy has been getting hard but no signs of straining and she been meowing all day today

nothin yet im sooooo impatient how do u tell when there milk is in???

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help boots has went mad shes running up and down my lounge like shes trying 2 catch something shes waggin her tail n this is most movement in weeks from boots shes totally running about mad helpppppppppp is this normal
