It's been years since I had a pregnant cat, and I barely remember the experience.
My new cat came to me, apparently pregnant. I am clueless as to how to even begin to know when the kittens might arrive.
Some details:
-She has been extra hungry ever since she came in. (Has been tested & didnt have worms...)
-Pregnant tummy became obvious 9 days ago.
-The last few days she has been hanging out in the bathtub. A lot.
-Can feel the kittens in her.
Questions:
The bathtub? It is a fairly private place from the other animals and us humans. Could she be planning this as where she wants her kittens to be? I really want to close off my basement (where litter boxes currently are) to prevent her from finding an inaccessible spot there. But I don't want to do it too soon or too late!
So for anyone who has had kittens... from the time by sight that she was obviously pregnant, how long till your kittens were born? The cat I had years ago who gave birth had FIVE kittens and I seem to remember she got REAL big. But the kittens were all pretty big.
Thank you!
