My cat is getting close to delivery. We dont know exactly when she became pregnant, but based on how big she is, her increased affection, appearance of her nipples and the beginning of her nesting behavior we know she's due really soon.
I'm a little confused by her behavior today. She keeps encouraging me to follow her into our walk in closet and then she'll sit in the box we have prepared for her, purr very loudly and lick herself. If I leave to to get back to work (I work from home), she'll follow me and stop purring.
I read in another forum that pregnant cats that are very dependent on their owners will stop giving birth if their owners leave the room. I rescued our cat when she was a kitten and nursed her back to health. We spend a lot of time together and she is very affectionate towards me, so yes she is very dependent. By me leaving, am I somehow putting off the labor and making her wait or was the info from this other forum false?
