First of all i'd like to say hello to you all. I ran across this site while searching google about cat pregnancy. Seems like an awesome site with alot of helpful people!
I have been searching and trying to educate myself for the past few days about cat pregnancy and what to expect and they upcoming signs that i should be watching out for. I have found alot of great information that has been very helpful but I still have absolutely no idea of approx. how far along my cat (Buttons) is and approx. how much time she has left. This is all very new to me and I am completely lost, lol.
Buttons is a very mysterious cat. She hardly ever comes around anyone...she is very secretive. A couple of weeks ago, we noticed that her nipples were starting to protrude and she started gaining weight, she is a very small/skinny cat other then the slight bulge. My problem is i have no idea how long she was like that before we noticed. We live on a farm and she used to come and go as she pleased, but the last few weeks she has stayed in the house. She has become EXTREMELY cuddley and affectionate the last week and the last few days she has done nothing but wander around aimlessly and being quite vocal....not pain vocal, just a low high pitched "meow" and every once in a while she seems to be agitated and all of a sudden get a huge energy burst and take off like a bat outta hell...kinda cute actually...lol.
I have made her a "bed" to birth in and keep reminding her of where it is ( in my bedroom ) ...but of course she seems to rather lay under my bed. Last night and today she has really seemed to be restless. If she wasnt sleeping she was roaming everywhere. She has also seemed to be doing alot of cleaning of herself - but this has not really been on her backside, its been all over - which she never really did constantly as she is doing now.
Her belly is hard on both sides. I've tried to check her out today to see if there is anything to be seen but she has VERY long fuzzy hair and she wont sit still enough for me to check her out.
Her nipples are large, with no hair around them anymore and are a light pink to almost white.
I know that it'll happen when it happens and thats okay, but i'd like to have at least some clue if its even close?!?!?! lol
Can anyone give me some tips to help me figure out just how far along she may be??
I can take pic's and post if that will help anyone.
Thanks so much.........Im so excited and cant wait!!!
