Pregnant kitty, HELP!!!!

Any new news?  Its been a week now, how many kittens do you have?

Keep a close eye on her. You may even want to shut her in a nice quiet room so she can give birth in peace.

Some signs to look for:

She may vanish. This is her way of looking for a nice quiet, safe place to nest.

-You can close her in a quiet room with a box available to her with nice warm towels to give birth in. Like a welping box.

During pregnacy, cats usually eat almost double what they usually do. When labor hits or gets close, they don't eat very much, if at all.

I've seen a few cats pace around like they are nervous or anxious.

She will probably cry real loud when it's about labor time.

My Mom's old cat also like to pace in and out of her welping box when she had one of her litters. This was about when labor hit for her.

Your cat will also start to lick herslef a lot.

Also, watch her nipples. for milk discharge.

When the first stage of labor hits she will probably pant, pur, paw, pace, vomit or cry as if in pain. They can even look like they are constipated.

Keep towels handy to dry off kittens or even help if they aren't breathing. Also, I would have a vet on speed dial if anythign were to go wrong.

Good luck and keep us posted!!!

I have a pregnat cat aswell! Not sure when she is due, but she is huge. Thanks for the post MallardDuckling .

You're welcome! Hope the pregnancy goes well! I miss having kittens around . I'm excited for you both!!

One thing to be careful about is that she may not even care for the kittens, because she's too young. So be prepared to care for them. I hope everything goes well and she takes to them. Good luck! What color is the dad?

I found kittens in my garage last week and according to one of the kittens, my cat is the dad. Here is are pics (I don't have any good pics of him and he is not around very often)

 

Not the best pic, but you can see his face better.

Too cute!!!!

I know what you mean about he looks Siamese but isn't. Our old cat Spookie, her first litter look EXACTLY like the litter you have pictured.

There were 2 all black kittens (just like Spookie), then there was a kitten that looked like the one pictured, only instead of gray points, she had a dark brown. Dad must have looked like her. Dad was a stray we never saw, as Spookie decided to sneak out and run away.
