Ash has messed up her towels and the old tshirt I placed in her nesting box today!
That's good, I hope her little ones come soon, I can't wait to see them :-)

Need some advice, I have tried to locate my thermometer and no luck. I'm heading to the store to buy one, I don't want to take it in her rear but will do under her arm! What should I be looking for a normal temp verses a hopefully pre labor temp?

how's Ash doing any babies yet?- Thread Starter Thread Starter

No babies I bought a thermonter and took her temp under her arm said 99.1 F I have no idea what I should be looking for do you? I'm sorry you haven't gotten to see Tigger I'm sure she will be so happy to see you when you pick her up
I'm sorry I don't really, a cats normal body temperature taken anally should be between 100 - 102.5 and it is said to drop to below 100 between 96-99F... I can tell how to take her temperature anally if you like!

She might hate me for that but I can try! Any advice would be helpful
Please don't take her temperature anally
It doesn't actually work that well for predicting labour. You will only stress her out and cats can actually delay labour if stressed.
Whatever you do she will have them when she is good and ready and not a moment sooner. It actually the kittens that decide when they will arrive and taking her temperature up the bum is not going to make the arrive any faster.
Please remember stressed cats can delay and put off labour, so personally I would just suggest not fussing too much and NOT taking her temperature
Think and be calm and so will she

It's actually best you don't do it, Ive just Google it and it can cause stress to her and delay labour!

I wasn't looking forward to doing that thanks for the advice! How about underarm temp how to you know what to look for? I know the kittens will come when it's time but it's driving me mad waiting
I'm not 100% sure as I don't believe it works myself. But I think you take one or two degrees off if taking it in the armpit compared to anally.
So normal body temperature under armpit should be about 98-100.
Then as labour is about to start it drops another 1-2 degrees. So about 96-98 degrees - I think it's something like this

Thank you I took hers earlier it was 99.1 she was sleeping and my son rubbed her tummy while I did it she didn't even know what was going in! I wouldn't hold her down to do it that would stress her out! I'm just so excited for these babies to get here!I'm not 100% sure as I don't believe it works myself.
