My little Rosie is heavily pregnant .. I noticed today shes not eating as much as she has been and shes been eating loads.
Also I noticed yesterday and today that her nipples keep going white and then back pink and then white is this milk.
She also keeps having twitching episodes on her back end bringing her back leg up slightly and then back down again .. And seems a little restless.. Is she near to birthing ive never experienced anything like this before so literally haven't left her side.

It sounds like she’s getting really close to delivery! Cats usually start producing milk a day or two before giving birth. A loss of appetite and behavioral changes (such as restlessness) are also signs that birth is nearing. The twitching you’re describing sounds like contractions.

This article gives more information: How Do I Know When My Cat Will Give Birth?

Do you have all your supplies set up for the birth? You’ll need a nesting box for her, and some clean towels that you won’t mind throwing away afterwards. Check it this article for more details: Pregnant Cat? What To Prepare For The Birth

Ive done her a nesting box but shes more interested in laying on my daughters bedroom floor so does the whole white nipple thing mean that's her milk.
I'm excited but so nervous x

Hi, how is she doing now? The average gestation length for cats is 64 days. Milk production usually starts a day or two before delivery, so she should be getting really close! I would recommend getting a nesting box set up, with some towels that you won’t mind throwing away afterwards.
