Hey kitty mummy's! It's my first ever post here, i've been doing me researching, reading books and hearing all sorts from different people so I decided to register here and get some proper advice from you guys.
Well what it is, my cats a year and 2 months old and shes pregnant. Please don't hate on me for not having her "spayed" she was always an indoor cat, never ever showed any signs of leaving or even wanting to leave the house untill one day she shot out. Unfortunately, I'm a single mother with a little girl who isn't old enough to sit for 2 minutes while I fetch Minnie in. (Minnie's the cat.) Anyhoo, I knew she would be fine as I live in a very quiet area, friendly neighbours ect.
Well around the beginning of October I noticed she started eating alot more, and her nipples enlarged ALOT. I spoke to my mum about it as shes had cats in the past that have had kittens so she kind of knew what to look out for.
Then as weeks went on her tummy enlarged so I knew 110% that she was pregnant. I knew now was the time to get her booked into the vets. Unfortunately the vets she attends do not offer ultrasounds, so from what the vet said She's due "December Time" < (Vets words not mine.) and that she's carrying around 4 kittens. (First litter.) Soo.. We're now into December and I can literally see her kitty's moving around in her tummy from across the room. She's still eating alot, but not as much as she first did when I noticed the nipple enlargement and she never wants to leave me alone! Apart from tonight she made her way into one of the nesting boxes I layed her out, every now and then I would like softly call her, which normally she was come to me straight away but tonight, she just looked and just layed straight back down and when she does come over onto my lap, she'll always raise her paw and place it on my chest. Now to me, I know something's up as she never does that, ever.
So getting more to the point, do you mummy's think it may be very soon? I haven't noticed any discharge, or mucus or waters or anything out of the ordinary but then she is a very very clean cat.
If someone or some people could give me some more "clear" advice, as I'm going out of my mind with worry. I don't even like the idea of heading to the supermarket for milk just in case I come back and she's in labour. I know a lot of cats deal with it themselves but then I've heard of cats also struggling in labour especially when it came to their first litter.
Thanks guys!
