My cats name is moley I dicided not to get the kittens removed as she only has one more week to go (I know it is bad but I'm keeping all the kittens and getting them and her 'fixed when they are all ready.)
Two days ago she started having clear liquid coming out of her nipple when squeezed and her vulva and anus has a very small amount of liquid coming out
She had a weird mucus thing come out of her anus today and when touched it squeezed in I am afraid it may be worms but I'll have to wait a while because of the kittens.

I'm so glad you're keeping the kittens. You'll find it interesting and endearing to watch mom continue to care for them through out their lives. They will remain a close knit little family forever.

The same thing happened to us. By the time we realized our cat wasn't getting fat it was sort of a done deal. And we kept them.

I agree with KFlowers! You are offering a responsible home. Have you consulted your vet about worming and other supportive measures? One risk for pregnant/nursing cats is hypocalcemia because she may be using up her stores of calcium in forming the babies' bones; feeding kitten milk replacer (kmr) as well as a high quality kitten food are excellent ways to help prevent that. Every time that I learn of a pregnant mother cat finding a good home, I say a prayer of thanks because mama kitties are in a very precarious position on so many levels. Please keep us updated on how things are going & we love pictures! *hint,hint*:camera:
Prayers and vibes that all goes well :vibes::vibes::vibes::heartshape::cheerleader:

The mucus sounds like the mucus plug, this can be lost right before delivery, or even a week prior. As long as it’s not brown or green in color or smells bad, everything should be good!

Moley was an excellent pet and companion she passed away right before covid happened (Road incident) a week of searching and I did get her home and buried under our oak tree. Moley had three marvellous kittens (Bowie, Belle and tiny) they all went on to become house cats in New homes and we eventually had belle again as she fell pregnant and her owners were overwhelmed. Belles daughter misty is now two years old and is our resident barn cat. She has been a friend to many of kittens and is about to have a litter. So proud of her as well. She got wormed as she was coming into heat and got vaccinated back in September and the vet said as long as she got enough food and didn't try to hunt it was OK for her to get pregnant. My life has changed since then. I'm a grown adult now and misty has a lineage that's come 360 back to us. Truly thankful for these encouraging messages and sorry I never responded.

Thank you for the update! Do you plan to spay your females eventually? It is not healthy for them to continue to reproduce as they get older.
