Hi hi. I've obsessed over this forum the last 2 weeks as we anxiously wait.
Cassie is an inside only girl who we've had since a kitten (shes 1.5yrs old). Unfortunately time got away from me and I hadn't gotten her desexed (will be as soooooon as she weans the kittens!!) and on her last heat she bolted like lightning outside. The first time it happened was September 16th.. we got her back inside however a neighbours entire male cat who is roaming constantly was in the yard. The 2nd time was the 18th and nothing would get her back inside... she is extremely skittish and anxious and got under our slightly raise house. I tried until 11pm to entice her back in.. nothing worked. We have an extremely secure yard so I left her out for the night.... and here we are..
So I guess she's either 68 days if mating occurred on the first instance or 66 if on the night she stayed overnight.
So far we have a massive belly.. big filled teats.. constant cleaning and mothering of our other cat.. still eating fine and the Jerking/ quivering of tail.. not vocal.. rapid breathing (today) .. however shes showed no signs of neating at all. I have towels and rags and boxes and cupboards opened and everything everything she could ever want ... starring to think it's never going to happen!!
Did anyone's cat show no signs of nesting prior to? Anyone have an extremely anxious /skittish cat and found the signs weren't entirely textbook?
First (and last!)litter.. im aware they can go over however just worried shes got heaps in there and worried shes going to have issues birthing. I'm working 12hr day tomorrow and as much as I want her to hurry up so they don't get too big.. tomorrow is not the day! (Working an hour away with no option to leave early!). I have my 16yr old home on holidays so hopefully she will be able to manage via video call (I have security cams watching Cassie constantly haha)
Any advice welcomed
