Nice to see caring Guardians... & i know $ doesn't grow on trees...
Sorry to hear the price is so high. My vet charged me only $40 for one x-ray, but took several until he could see what he needed to see when the cat I adopted was taking a long time to deliver. She went 68 days, by the way, and delivered 4 healthy kittens. My point being that the x-ray answered the questions and put my mind at ease. Vet could see on the x-ray that the kittens weren't fully developed yet & he said 7 to 10 days. It took 12. So it's not an exact science & his suggesting you wait is probably good advice. Do all your area vets charge that much for an x-ray? It just sounds like a lot to me. Keep us posted!

Thank you k called another vet who said he would do the whole office visit and exam for 100.00 that was a discount he said usually he does 120.00 for all but I have good new I hope. I can in from work at 12:30 to find her in my chest of drawers then I removed my clothes put towels in there she got back in for a few then out again into the nesting box laid there for a few an then came up to me purring and she never does that I've only heard it once in the weeks we have had her. She's normally a moody little thing nipping and stuff but today she is letting me rub her belly and just purring up a storm I took her temp and there you have it 98.6 auxiliary so I think we are in our last hours she has progressively went down in temp over the past few days. She all used the bathroom three times in ten mins this morning before the vet visit. On heading back to work for a few and hopefully she has progressed some more tonight thanks a bunch guys

Sounds like she is nesting and wanting comfort from you which is good. Still got all fingers and toes crossed here and checking in when I can to see how you're all doing. Must be really hard you having to go in to work, I know I'd struggle!

It should be very soon. Sounds like her water broke and all the lovey-dovey stuff is early labor and letting you know that her time is near. Good luck! Kittens anytime now!

Thanks a bunch I thought sure it was gonna be last night so u sat with her for two hours just watching her and playing candy crush to pass the time and she nested a bunch all over the room laid down for a few mins each place then climbed in my lap purring and kneading lol she's not a lovey dovey cat well I woke up this morning and Shes back to being her moody self belly was super hard last night now its back to being soft. She is still eating last night she went to her fod bowl on and off taking a few bites and leaving for most of the night and every time I woke up last night she was up either sitting or eating or just laying with eyes open and she usually sleeps through the night. I have today off so I'm gonna sit quietly with her while my kids are in school and just hope for the best how long after nesting to cats go into labor I noticed this yesterday at noon she was in places she had never been or took interest in. I've read 12 hours 24 hours and all the way to a week

Hopefully it will be soon. My cat acted similarly before finally having her kittens. It's tough waiting, but as long as she is not in distress, that's all you can do.
Poor kitty, she is looking so big now. Will she let you rub her belly and back at all or does she want to be left in peace?
Hopefully it will be soon and she has all the energy she needs for the birthing.
