Pregnant Newly Strayed Cat

[Sarthur2]

She may be having early labor pains, or just be uncomfortable when the kittens move since they are so low.

Maybe they will come tonight!

Im sitting with her in the closet right now. If i leave the room she lays beside the door. She doesnt go to her nesting box unless im sitting in the closet. Cant really see her because its dark and i dont want to shine a light on her but i can hear her licking and see ger outline and hear her purring a lot

 

[Sarthur2]

She may be in labor and purring through the contractions. Stay with her as much as you can.

Can you see how far apart the contractions are? Watch the ripples in her belly.

 

[Calishell]

I cant really see her at all. She isnt purring now. I dod notice before she went tp the closet that her breathing seems off. She is breathing heavy loke she has been past couple days but ever so often is sounds and looks like she is taking two breathes one right after the other. Best way i can explain it so i hope you understand what im trying to explain. She is purring again

 

[Calishell]

I opened the closet door a little to get some light in here but this is her in her box right now

 

[Calishell]

She is now on her back and im rubbing her belly and she is falling asleep.....

 

[Sarthur2]

It sounds like she's laboring. It's good if she can rest.

 

[Calishell]

She is starting to pant and meowing alot. She ismt panting with her tonhue stuck out but her mouth is open amd it isnt constant

 

[Sarthur2]

It sounds like her labor is progressing. Poor gal.

 

[Calishell]

I feel bad for her. I left the room amd went to the kitchen and she followed me amd kept meowing until i wemt with her back to her nest

 

[Calishell]

Water has broken and she is pushi g. Except i think she is trying to escape the paim. She has ran and hit in a corner

 

[Calishell]

One kitten so far

 

[Sarthur2]

Hooray!

One kitten so far

OMG poor kitty.
You are a saint.

 

[Calishell]

The back side of the first kitten is still inside but she did clean it. Should i be concerned or give it more time?

 

[Calishell]

Should i be concerned? The kitten is out but she hasnt pushed the placenta out of chewed the umbilical cord. It is still attached to the kitten

 

[Sarthur2]

Give it time. She'll do it.

 

[Calishell]

Number 2

 

[cookiebun]

Looks like she didn't want anything to do with those nest boxes...

It's best to let her give birth where she wants. Not force them to use a box. When we had the farm cats would give birth in all kinds of weird places. Only time we moved one was in the hay bailer machine because it was dangerous.
