Hello.
Here is some backstory. On 4/13/21 my husband and I adopted a flame point Siamese girl. On 5/15/21 we found out that she is pregnant. We were told then that we had two to three weeks. As I am typing this it has been 18 days since we found out that she is pregnant. I have had her for 50 days exactly and we found out that the owner had let her outside for about two weeks. So this girl is between 50 and 64 days pregnant. At this point we have seen babies move, nipples look like they could have dried milk on them. Just today it seems like she has had a temp decrease.
But.
The last five days her stools has gotten wetter and looser. Now it's liquid. The vet isn't concerned at a. Says she's in the first stage of labor. Makes sense. Hormones cleaning out a system. What I do not get though is the fact that she seems to refuse the litter box now. I have cleaned up so many puddles and small piles. I am overwhelmed. Two days ago I noticed peeing outside the box, BUT only in the nesting boxes I provided. Most of these events happen at night. From what I understand cats can do this is they don't feel good, which I'm sure she doesn't. I have added a second box in the room her nesting boxes are in(the only room of the house I can seperate her) and that didn't help. I am getting cat attract litter tomorrow.
I guess my question is has anyone else experienced a pregnant cat having an behavioral litter box set back that went back to normal after babies?
Oh I forgot to add. She is nine months old. I do have other animals on the house. Two dogs and another cat. He is two and has been fixed since he was eight weeks old. He is not aggressive and overall their relationship has been fine. Just today I had both of them on my bed and they bird watch together.
