Hi,
I have a female flat face persian cat that was in heat about a month ago for only a few days and even though I kept a close eye on her during that time period and put my unfixed male in the other room, he managed to sneak in when I opened the door and closed it, I think she is pregnant now. I had an appointment for my male to get fixed but it got canceled a few days before because the vet said they didn't have the right "equipment" to fix a flat faced persian because the flat face could cause him to suffocate when put under for the procedure, before I could find a vet that could get him fixed that was capable of doing it the safe way, all this happened.
Her nipples look large and pink, I don't recall what they looked like before though, her abdomen feels large and not as squishy as before.
I went ahead and shaved her abdomen just incase she is about to give birth because she is a very fluffy cat and I wanted to make sure just to be on the safe side, because if she gave birth I wanted to make sure the kittens could successfully locate the nipples to drink.
I am prepared financially to take care of the kittens and momma if she were to give birth, the female is around 10 months old. Thankfully I am in the position to be home almost 24/7 so I can be here if she has kittens so I am able to keep a close eye on them and momma, my two cats are like my children and so I am definitely wanting any tips/advice if she has the kittens, even after all my research I still like hearing any extra advice. I have stopped picking her up because I read you shouldn't if she is pregnant so the kittens don't get harmed. I also made her a box and put in fleece so she can make a nest if she wants. I attached photos of her tummy, does she look pregnant? If so how far along does she look, if that is even possible to tell.
She is acting more affectionate to me as of 2 weeks ago, she constantly wants to be around me (which is a change in behavior for her).
Thanks!
