Sophia your cat is beautiful.

 

[princess sophia]

Aww thanks!

 

[princess sophia]

How's dolly doing today?

 

[tulisa]

Hi sophia. Shes sleeping on and of dont think she can get comfortable as shes so big. X

 

[princess sophia]

Oh man! I am not looking forward to an uncomfortable Sophie... She's a little bit if a diva already...I can't imagine how she'll be when she sees what real life is :0

Do you have any idea how many are in there?

 

[tulisa]

Bless her. I would say there must be atleast 5 or 6 as shes huge. What time of day is it where you are its 3pm here.x

 

[princess sophia]

It's 5:45 here. I think we're 2 hrs ahead of you.

 

[tulisa]

Yes its 2 hours.

 

[tulisa]

I gently squeezed cats teat and some thick white came out does that mean birth is close.

 

[Sarthur2]

Usually within a week of milk coming in.

 

[tulisa]

Still no kittens.

 

[princess sophia]

This must be getting so frustrating for you and Dolly!

When did you first realize she was pregnant? Maybe that will help give an idea of when she might have them.

 

[tulisa]

Hi Sophia.About a month ago when she started showing and they normally show at 5 weeks so that would make her due. X

Or just about due. I heard that it is possible for them to start showing a bit earlier in bigger litters.

Also, if she's sensing that your stressing, it may stress her out and she can delay labor.

 

[tulisa]

Yes and with it being her2nd litter could be bigger earlier.

 

[tulisa]

Just a question. Dolly still not had her kittens but today she let me touch her belly and some parts feel hard is that a sign shes near labour.

 

[krissy marissy]

Although most cats follow a general pattern, it is impossible to predict the exact time the kittens will come. Some like to get touched and comforted late in pregnacy, some not so much. The waiting and worrying is difficult, but try to relax. They will come when she's ready.

 

[tulisa]

Thanks Krissy. Is hard sign of labour tho.

 

[krissy marissy]

Thanks Krissy. Is hard sign of labour tho.

It can be. But I wouldn't depend on only that.

 

[princess sophia]

I would imagine it's a combination of things. Hard belly, nesting, lack of appetite, lethargic, ect

There are cats that have no symptoms too and have the babies.

But in general, a combination of what I mentioned above is your best indicator.
