I think you meant x-ray. An x-ray would show how many kittens and how far along they are developmentally. A small litter does not necessarily mean the kittens will be bigger than normal newborns.

And I realize an Xray would show how many and how far along..it just wasn't done because she was so scared. He didn't say for sure the kittens would grow larger than normal. He said it's a possibility..something he has seen a few times in his 40 years as a veterinarian.
Right! You mentioned that the vet may do the x-ray in April if she has not had her kittens by then. I was just saying that if he does it, you'll know even more. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

I was just thinking that she possibly got pregnant the 2nd time she got out. It was about 10 days after the first time. She was only out of my sight for about 10 mins that time so I didn't even consider that it could have been then. It that case her due date would be the 21st of April instead of the 11th. Just hope everything goes well because I don't want to have to take her to the vet again. It stressed her so much
I understand. It only takes a minute or less for cats to mate. And I know it's hard not knowing which time it occurred.
If you do need to take her to the vet again, buy Feliway calming spray, and spray it all inside her carrier. The pheromones in the spray will help to calm her.

Charley is 62 days tomorrow. She has been licking her bottom a lot today and not eating as much as she has been. She threw up once today. Keeps getting on the kitchen counter and knocking things off. Do you think it's time or a few more days?
It sounds like she's getting very close. She will probably go into labor in the next few days.

She was back to normal today..eating,playing and terrorizing the dogs. I guess it will be a few more days

Need advice..Charley is 67 days now. Last Friday she was licking her bottom a lot and had slowed down on eating. Her appetite came back for a few days and now she has slowed down again. She is just wandering around the house house today like she is restless.and kind of skittish.not eating much and acting very aloof with me. She was very affectionate until last night. Also trying to escape the house..we have to be VERY careful. Vet says there is only 1 kitten. I can't really feel it but her lower tummy feels pretty full. No contractions but she gets these ripples occasionly. She is not panting but when you look at her side's her breathing seems deeper and faster than usual. No milk at all yet. Wondering if I should take her to the vet but I don't want to stress her. Inam probably being paranoid but this is my first pregnant cat and I'm so nervous. I could REALLY use some advice

Please..someone reply and ease my mind..lol
I think she could be close! It doesn't seem like anything that you should be panicking over!
Has she had the kitten yet? Those ripples are contractions, but stage one labor can last up to 24 hours.
Sorry for delayed response during the platform change.

No kitten yet sarthur2. I think I am going to take her to the vet this morning. Feb 4th is when she got out so today is 68 days. She is a little wild this morning..but still kind of ignoring me unless she wants to eat
Some cats will go to 70 days. It sounds like her hormones are in high gear!
Call and see if the vet wants you to wait or not. Please keep us posted.
