Ok. I do have a question. Her nips have been leaking quite a bit for a week now, and her temp has been 96 and 97 for the same amount of time. Does that mean she's close?

Temperature isn't a very accurate way to gauge labor, however it sounds like it could be soon if she is lactating! Some cats don't lactate until the day they have the kittens, some lactate a week before!

My worry is she shares her home with 2 over friendly 80lb dogs. Thats why im trying to gage possibly when she might go into labor. I just wish i knew when she conceived. Lol

It sounds like it will be any day now. Do you plan to put her in a separate room from the dogs when she has the kittens?

I keep her in my bedroom but shes not fond of being cooped up. She will scream and meow and hiss to be let out. Shes a very peculiar cat anyway lol
