This is my cat Harriet. It’s a long story but the bottom line is she got out while in heat a week before her spay appointment (all my husbands fault). She very obviously went into heat on Jan. 7th. Her rolling and crying lasted roughly 3 days. She had access to the outside that entire time. After that she never showed any signs of going into heat again /and by the end of February she was looking obviously pregnant: I’ve been able to feel babes moving since early March and see them moving since March 10. Her nipples have developed and feel huge like udders. Not sure if milk could be expressed bc she wants no part of that. She has groomed her vulva a bit, though not removed much hair on her belly (she’s long haired) and definitely picked a few nesting spots, but is still eating nonstop and showing no signs of imminent labor. She seems perfectly happy and healthy. We are now 76 days past when her heat started. Any idea what’s going on? Why is it taking so long? I know some wild cats can exhibit delayed implantation if their body seems the timing for pregnancy not right, can domestic cats do that? I just don’t get it. Where are those kittens?!
