Progress

Woke up this morning to Dudley sounding like she was growling. She wasn't growling, she was dripping some sort of er...snotty fluid all over herself. Maybe now we are getting somewhere!

That really does sound like something is good on. Here's hoping it's time for KITTENS! Please keep me posted. I just love good birth stories.

I'm really excited, but I had to come to work. She cleaned herself off and went back to sleep before I came in so I really home she can hold em in!

You usually don't see any mucus plug or anything like that because cats are so great about cleaning themselves before it actually is seen.
Brown liquid is a sure sign of impending delivery.

Dudleys was more like...thin but phlegmish...and it was yellowish clear. I hope thats normal.

Boots so jealous! Good luck having itties!

hmmm... a lot or just a little? I've never seen a lot of clear /flemish liquid before with my cats. Was her pregancy confirmed? Do you feel movement?

Oh yeah! It was like watery but sticky as it dried. Does that make sense? Yes, vet confirmed she was pregnant and actually last week said she'd pop on the 21st. Funny if it actually happens I'm going to have him pick my lottery numbers.

Is the vaginal discharge pus-like or foul smelling? Are you able to take her temperature?

Didn't smell at all. It was there and her stomach was getting hard and soft and hard and soft. Then she cleaned herself up and laid down like she was napping.

Sounds about right -- Lexus also has a bit of mucous discharge and I have known of other cats who have it as well before or even during delivery. But as Bengalbabe points out, if it is green, pus-like or has a foul odor, it isn't normal and requires vet attention.

I hope so. I can't do anything until I get home in 3 hours :/

So are there kittens???

My kitty had a discharge the day before, too... she was too big to clean herself.

ok great. I was a little concerned with the amount. Sounds like shes in labor. the hard and soft tummy is her contracting. You should have kittens soon. =0)

I got home last night and found a little black kitten She hasn't had anymore yet, though. Is this normal? She fed the kitten, then got up and had some food and then went to sleep!? Shouldn't she be having the other two soon? As of this morning she was meowing at me to stay with her again...but alas, had to come in to work.

oh wow, that must have been a suprise.

Im not sure how long they go between kittens. Is she still contracting or has things settled down? Does het belly still feel haed.

Im sure someone who knows what they are talking about will be along soon to help

Good luck x x x x

I can still feel the other two wiggling around in there, but she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort too bad, or straining??? She just napped all night and ate like she just got out of fat camp. Then this morning started meowing again.

AWWW CONGRATS on the lil kitten

I'm not an expert at this but there have been other posters whose cats went hours and even days between kittens! As long as she is not in distress I would wait. Or call your vet for advice.
