Don't let her out.  Catwoman is reading the thread. Wait and see what she advises.  It's possible we have the timing wrong and she is closer to her due date.

If she got out May 21st, then tomorrow is exactly eight weeks from the 21st. Is she still having vaginal discharge right now? And how are her nipples and mammary glands?

How much discharge do you see? Is it mucousy and hanging or drips on the floor? Need to know how much is going on.

Also meant to ask, is she usually an indoor/outdoor cat? Is there commotion in your home? Small kids, other pets, etc?

Absolutely do not allow her to go outside.

Okay so very little actually.

You want to see pink and never actually red too, pink is blood tinged mucous, red means a bit more bleeding then we want.

Can you answer my other questions please? Trying to get a picture of why she is wanting out.

How did I guess? 


If she were to be allowed outside, she would go off and find herself a safe, quiet and calm place to nest for her babies.

I think since she knows she is nearing time, it's her way of saying there is no privacy and quiet as she needs.

I would make sure her box is in a very secluded, private and undisturbed spot in your home, where the door can be shut to allow her the peace she is asking for now.

Keep an eye on her 'spotting', this is a great indicator of when she will go into labor.

This small amt may be a sign of pre-labor.

I agree with Catwoman, especially since she is beginning to fill with milk. She needs to carry for another week, but you may begin to notice more and more signs that she is getting close to real labor. If she has no green or yellow or smelly discharge, and no red blood, she is probably fine. I'd keep her in a quiet, private place as catwoman advised, so she feels safe and can rest. Put her nest in this place too.

@selina81   she may want to use the quiet space for up to four weeks.  Until she starts to wean her kittens and they are more mobile.  Just so you are aware.

Congrats! Now we know what all of that was about last night - whew! :)

Seems she may have been a bit further along than we thought!

How many little fluff balls did she have? :)
