is my cat about to give birth?

cathys mom · Mar 23, 2017

A month ago I adopted Cathy...

I WAS GOING TO SPAY HER BUT SHE WASN'T FEELING WELL THEN I FOUND OUT THAT SHE'S PREGNANT...

She has always been so friendly and cuddling bomb...

last week started wandering around the house and going behind things * probably to start nesting?*.

2 days ago she's been extra sweet, every time I touch, she starts to give me small kisses/ licks, not to mention that she's grooming herself way too much especially her lower part.

Now she started moving around way too much so I sat on the floor and she jumped right away on my lap and kept looking for both of my hands to pet her, and she sometimes stands up suddenly try to st shift her position and sitting on her back having her tummy facing me or start sniffing around her lower part and acts as if she's searching for something then she goes back trying to settle down on my laps...

While I was petting her she started grooming my hands way too much as well as herself, whenever I pull my hands away so she can groom herself freely she start looking for them and start licking them again...

Also, her breath was a bit heavy...

She's calmer now but still grooming herself...

Pregnant cats are very affectionate and they lick their nipples and lady parts alot. Do you know how far along she is?

Thanks so much for answering back!

sadly no , all I know that her nipples started '' pinking up '' less than a week after I got her home *maybe even before but I noticed after I got her to the groomer to and shaved her belly * , then on the 8th march I started to see and feel the kittens in her belly a go I felt that...

I have been reading a lot since I got her ...

Do you have a nest set up for her? It sounds like she may be nearing the end of her pregnancy.

cathys mom · Mar 24, 2017

update:

she's so restless since last night....

while ago yellow liquid came out of her V and sometimes she starts pushing and breathing way too heavier than normal...

Called her vet but I got no answer....

It sounds like normal discharge - possibly even part of her mucus plug. She sounds like she is in stage one labor.

Are you seeing contractions in her sides? They look like ripples or tightening then loosening.

Or is she already trying to push a baby out?
