Hi guys, I need some advise please. I have a heavily pregnant girl, I don’t know her Exact dates as I took her in already pregnant. I have had pregnant cats previously so I know what to look for etc. She’s dropped, her teats are full, and I’ve had the constant purring and meowing since Monday. All signs for the go! My worry is, she’s having what I though we’re contractions, her tummy goes all tense and tight from armpit level right down to between her back legs, and the sides, it’s almost like her whole tummy goes vac packed? I can feel all the kittens When it happens and her abdominal muscles tighten - this is difficult to explain are these braxton hicks? They’ve been on and off since Monday, no real pattern but I can sit and rub her tummy and she’ll have them every 3-5 minutes, but they also stop when she gets up or falls into a deeper sleep. No plug, her vulva looks a little more visible and pink today, she is still eating normal. I’m just not sure what’s going on right now. Other cats I’ve experienced in labour it’s gone from 0-100 in less than 2 days.. thank you to anyone that responds quickly
