About two or three weeks ago we were able to see her babies moving.
And this is what she looked like then. These pictures were taken October 26th. I got her on the 19th of September.
As of a little less than a week ago, it looks like her belly has fallen and now is hanging but she has yet to show any signs of labor and if it’s been almost 9 weeks that isn’t good, cats are supposed to start going into labor during their 8th week???
This is what her belly looks like as of two days ago.
We keep her in a large cage since I rent an apartment and can’t have her having her babies in the kitchen cabinets or something. I lined the cage with towels and sheets and put a pillow in for her which she likes. I do let her run around the apartment when I can keep an eye on her to try and help induce labor.
When we first got her she was very affectionate but hissed at any cat who came near her. She doesn’t hiss at them as much now, and for the past few days she’ll randomly start meowing and then stop. She’s still eating a lot and drinks a lot too, when she uses the bathroom it isn’t solid but not completely runny either, and she isn’t grooming herself as constantly as she used to. In the last two weeks she would constantly be grooming herself down there.
She isn’t lactating, doesn’t have any discharge, isn’t showing signs of pushing, and she isn’t going into labor. I’m worried. I talked to me vet when I took in a different kitten and she said it should be anytime now, but if she doesn’t go into labor soon I’m going to have to take her in. I’m worried she lost her babies? I’ve never had a pregnant cat before and I have no idea how far along she was when we got her but that first picture was when we got her.
