Hi All, I'm hoping that someone can tell me something about my pregnant cat's pregnant behavior. Unfortunately, I can't afford to take her to the vet unless it's a definite emergency and then I'll find a way...so here is the situation that I'm worried about...
My best guess at the time she would have gotten pregnant is Dec 25-26th, which would mean she's "due" tomorrow, right? Anyway, I've only recently come up iwth that time period so before I just thought any time, and I've been very excited and attentive to her (I work from home right now). About a week ago...
* I could feel the babies easily and she was milking
* She was definitely "nesting" (it was unreal to watch)
* then after a couple of days of "nesting" she had a couple of hours one day that she had some bloody discharge (not a lot but I noticed it) (this was 6 days ago)
What worries me is that since she does not display any of the behaviors that I read about on the internet, ex. nesting happens right before, feeling the babies happens in the last week (have been able to feel them for 2-3 weeks), has had milk for over a week (not actually a white substance but a clear, somewhat sticky substance), may quit eating the the last couple days, and she's back and forth on affection.
Seems like one minute she wants all the attention I'll give her, and then next she may try to swipe me for petting her (she actually got my neck a couple of days ago). But other than this erratic behavior she is just sleeping and eating A LOT.
She is HUGE (she's a small cat anyway), seems to be having less than an easy time breathing (sounds like a runny nose or congestion).
Should I be concerned? Please someone give me some peace of mind
