So I took in a stray 58 days ago. I had been watching her for a while before I took her in. The people that had been feeding her told me they were sure she was pregnant about 2 weeks before I took her in. I got that confirmed by a vet. They didn’t tell me how far along she was, but she was very clearly showing already at that point. I’ve again had her for 58 days. She was pregnant already. So 58 days on top of the two weeks before that when I was told she was probably pregnant. She still hasn’t given birth. She’s gone in and out of her nesting box for days, has been screaming randomly, and last week she started demanding food every hour on the hour but hasn’t even been eating most of it and then wants a new fresh plate every time. I’ve been wasting a lot of her food. When she lays down on her side her back leg, which ever is on top, twitches a bunch and sometimes she just holds it up as high as she can. Then she gets up and walks away again. That’s been happening for over a week. She constantly tries to put her whole butt against me. Like backs up into me and I’m not okay with that because she can’t reach back there to clean and it’s not exactly clean right now. She’s also not using her litter box properly all of a sudden. She puts her front feet in, keeps her back legs on the doorway, and poops onto the floor. She pees inside. Just not poop. If I cover myself in towels and sit in the floor, she lays against me and really aggressively headbutts every inch of me and licks and nibbles on me and screams like I’m murdering her if I pull my hands away. Tonight her stomach felt hard as a rock again while she was on the towels I put on myself, but I had to get up and use the bathroom, when I opened the door she was standing there. I sat back down with her and her stomach was back to normal and the kittens were moving all over the place again in her belly. I’m 90% sure she’s late giving birth and just isn’t happy with anything unless she’s right on top of me, mainly her butt. If I don’t let her put it on my lap, she walks behind me and sticks in against my back and I don’t know why. I can’t take her to a vet until the weekend because my partner works out of town and I have no transportation until then. And even so my vet is appointment only and they’re backed up for weeks. I just need to know if ANYONE has any idea about what’s going on with her? I don’t need any extra advice. I’ve done weeks of research. I know what to do after they’re born, even while she’s giving birth. Absolutely nothing in her environment has changed since she’s been here. Everything is exactly how it was from day one, but something is wrong. Maybe I’m worrying too much I don’t know. This is my first cat in a few years because I wasn’t allowed to have any in my apartment until now and I feel like I’m being super extra.
