When I brought in this pregnant cat and took it to the vet, he said he was positive there were 2 kittens, possibly a third, and to expect them mid-June. For the past few days, she is barely eating (maybe a cup of food in the past 2-3 days) and barely drinking any water (which almost worries me more).
I sat with her for about 2 hrs this evening, and she didn't come out of her box once. She was purring like crazy for the first hour (which she hasn't done much at all the past week) then just started sleeping.
While she lies there, her side moves a lot, but also, it looks like her butt is tensing up, and most of the movement is coming from her rear end more than last week when most movement seemed to come from closer to the middle of her body.
Are these signs that she should deliver within the next 24-48 hrs? Part of me hopes she has the kittens soon because we leave tomorrow night and won't be back until Tuesday night or possibly even Wednesday morning, and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly. But then I also hope she holds off until we're back so that one of us will be home at all times once the kittens are born.
I'm obviously very anxious and curious if anyone has seen these signs and knows how close to (or far from) delivery she is.
