Help Pregnant Cat Sleeps A Lot And Eats Less

[Sky18]

My cat is pregnant. Not sure how far along but her nipples are as long as a rice grain and white and she is showing. She appears to be thinner now then yesterday and all she does is sleeps a lot and eat frequently but only a few bites. (I would say no more then 2 minutes per feeding.) During the day she up walking around for a few minutes at a time then plops down and will clean herself down there and her belly

If she seems thinner than yesterday, she seems to have dropped. Ie the pregnancy as at its end, one day or two left at most...

She eats lesser because the belly is squeezed... So small portions but often. Make it also high worthy food, kitten type.

Be sure to offer her unlimited access to dry kitten food and meals of wet kitten food.

Are you able to keep her 100% inside and away from intact males? She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery.

Yes she is inside. I have her in my room. She keeps meowing for me and when I sit with her she keeps rearranging herself. She isn't licking herself down there. Then she gets up and eats a few pieces of kitten food then lays back down in her bed next to me. She's not breathing fast or panting. How long will she do this before stage 2 of labor

[StefanZ]

If she wants belly rubs do so.

 

[StefanZ]

Im not sure stage 1 has really began.
But its apparently nearing.

 

[Sky18]

That is what I've been doing. Still nothing yet

 

[Sky18]

Now she has this coming out. It's like a bubble. She's not cleaning herself and she is still just laying down purring

 

[Sky18]

This is her now

 

[StefanZ]

So the labor has began.

What the bubble is Im not sure.
Forumists report this sometimes.

 

[talkingpeanut]

Is she pushing?

 

[Sky18]

No not yet she just moved to under my bed tho

 

[talkingpeanut]

I would be concerned, and keep a close. That could be a kitten.

 

[Sky18]

I'm gunna check it again. She just moved to on my bed

 

[Sky18]

She is trying to push a little now

 

[StefanZ]

The active pushing phase shouldnt be too long - max 40 minutes. The active phase is shorter than with women.

 

[talkingpeanut]

How is she doing now? If she hasn’t birthed a kitten, you need to rush her to the vet.

 

[Sky18]

Kitten #1 didn't make it. She just ate the whole kitten and drank some water. She is currently back in her bed laying down

 

[talkingpeanut]

The kitten was in the birth canal for too long. I'm sorry.

If you see her struggling to get a kitten out again you need to rush her to the vet.
