Our Foster is having babies any day now. She's been nesting, acting crazy (burrying her head in blankets and getting underneath them and climbing the closet doors), nonstop meowing, extremely affectionate, frantically searching around the room, laying on her sides and getting a little breathy.
She's got her milk (day 5 now) but still no babies.
Queen is a first time friendly feral mom. We live in Japan and she's been around a marine dormitory since she was a kitten. She's great for morale and they enjoy her and enjoy feeding her. When she became super pregnant she began venturing into the dorms to find a nest and the commander was threatening animal control so the guys contacted us to take her for now so she can get the care she needs and get spayed and we can find her babies loving homes before returning to dorm life!
I'm going to pick up a thromometer today however main concern is could this actually be labor? Maybe she's not progressing as normal? Also how long after her milk comes in is too long to not have babies. I saw 1-2 days especially for first time queens is the norm but we're now on day 5 and wondering when should she go to the vet or is it really just a variation?
I've been researching the crap out of pregnant cats I've never fostered one or had one before but I'm so excited. I am a doula for human moms, birth is my element and I'm over the moon to help this kitty!
