My cat Cranky is pregnant. I was away on holiday and when I came back. I noticed her nipples had pinked up probably around 3 weeks ago now. And since then she has just got bigger and bigger. She is a maine coon so is quite big anyway! But today I have noticed white crust around her nipples and I’m just wondering does this mean she will be close to her due date? She has not started nesting yet! She has become very affectionate and will always be sitting next to you.

It’s difficult to say for sure, but it could be any day now to a week to ten days. Do keep us posted!

Weigh the kittens daily. With 7, which is a large litter, there’s bound to be a runt or two. They may need supplementing with a syringe and formula if they do not gain 6-10 grams daily each.

Congrats! How’s mom doing? See that she gets a dish or two a day of kitten formula through her nursing days for the extra calcium she needs. Make sure she gets plenty of food 24/7.
