I will start by describing my situation a bit. I I got 2 female kittens about 7 months ago. I was going through a divorce & was awarded the animals at the final hearing. I had appointments for both to get spayed & noticed one was getting fatter. She started eating more and at first I thought maybe it was worms. Well I started to see moving in her belly. I looked back at dates and believe she is due any day now. I have a few questions. My 17 year old Male fixed cat is very attached to her. He bathes her as she does him. I would like to have her give birth in a spare bedroom. I have set up several boxes in there, but she scratches at the door to get out unless either him or me is in there. I am keeping her in there because of my dog. I don't want any accidents, but I also read that male cats might eat her kittens, so I am confused if I need to live in a room with her until she has her kittens and remove the old cat, or if he will be okay. I am guessing there is no guarantee if I leave him in there, but I honestly don't think he would do anything. Also her nipples are not very big, but I did find another cat on here with not bright pink nipples that delivered kittens. Also I notice her digging like crazy in her litter box at times and in the boxes, but in the litter box she is acting like she is going to use the bathroom & nothing is coming out. Is this normal? I just notice her licking herself more as of right now, digging around etc. I have never had a cat that had kittens before & not expecting it is a bit of a shock, but am okay with it. I guess some advice, or answers to any of my questions is what I am hoping to achieve here. Thanks
