I think.
Never having had a pregnant queen before, it's hard for me to judge. She's been unusually cuddly and clingy all day today, following me around and crying at me. Then tonight after supper she started breathing pretty fast, sometimes outright panting. Since then, she's had several unsuccessful trips to the litter pan and is still pacing. She keeps trying to get under my bed, but I've blocked it all off. I've set up a box in my closet with shredded newspaper and two of my old shirts (no longer wanted) in it and she seems to keep going back into it to dig around. Aside from that she seems to be making rounds from the middle of the floor, to the bed to check if it's unblocked yet, back to the closet, to the litter box, repeat.
There's a little bit of reddish-pinkish glop coming out of her vagina (sorta like a clot when you have your period only not nearly as bloody). And she's grooming her belly a good deal. She's also purring alot (which is not something she does normally, she's fairly reserved).
So... labor? How long before I can expect to see some kittens?
