My cat is pregnant and I'm not sure when it happened. My mom is telling me she's due any day now but I'm worried because she hasn't shown any signs of nesting. Its her first litter and she's still young, just over a year, could this be why she hasn't really been trying to find a spot? We have a nest area made for her and for the last 2-3 weeks she's been sleeping in it or in bed with me. Last night we added another box with streaded newspaper to see if that made any differance. She looked in it and even lay down for a while before joining my bed. We've been able to feel the kittens moving around for about a month or so. She's well along with what looks like a softball on each side of her stomach and she's been increasingly nervous about everything and in the last day or so she's started pacing the house. She also increased her eating a tenfold in the last two days.
The first nesting area we gave her is a box overspilling with her favorite blanket, would laying in that be considered nesting? The blanket is very settled and she never digs at it. She hasn't really poked around looking much. Should I expect kittens in the next few days or does she still have a few weeks?
