My Young Pregnant Cat

[Nisley quinn]

hii! May i know how long does my cat goes in labour since she's having yellow like discharge or is that a bad thing? She sleeps alot but between the sleeps she trys to dig into dark places but then comes back near me and sleeps again

 

[Sarthur2]

Can you post a picture of the yellow discharge?

It might be her mucus plug. Is she near full term in her pregnancy?

Or it could be infection. Does the discharge have a foul odor?

 

[Nisley quinn]

It doesnt have any smell she doesnt clean it so i wiped it with cotton pad yes she is really near if i counted from the day she mated her due date would be 18 july

 

[Sarthur2]

I think that's just normal pre-labor discharge.

 

[Nisley quinn]

Oh alright thank u! But will she be givinng birth early than her due date? She had diarrhea a couple days ago

 

[StefanZ]

Lets hope not. Kittens dont manage well prematures.

How old is your cat?

 

[Sarthur2]

These pre-labor signs can occur a good week or more before labor begins. The signs can come and go. Are you sure of the date when she mated?

 

[Nisley quinn]

I dont know how old she is she is quite small ,she like a dwarf cat, i think im sure because i adopted her then a few weeks after that i saw her mating with my neighbor's cat.in that picture that black and white cat is the cat she mated with and the other one is her

 

[Nisley quinn]

That pic was 2 or 3 months ago now her belly is very big

 

[talkingpeanut]

Do you have an emergency vet on standby? She could have issues being so small, and her mate is large.

Are you keeping her 100% inside now? Can you talk to your neighbors about neutering their cat?

 

[Nisley quinn]

Yeah that what i was worry about she seem small to be pregnant i was suprise that she could be i Thought she was only a kitten .
I always keep her inside now.
I dont know if it's my neighbor's cat or a stray cat since it's always infront of my house and he seems unowned

 

[Nisley quinn]

There's a nearby vet if anything seems wrong i'll immediately bring her

Can you get him neutered? He needs to be fixed and fed. He needs a proper home if he is stray.

 

[talkingpeanut]

Cats are excellent at getting pregnant. You should always assume that an intact cat can get pregnant and have her spayed. 4-month-old kittens have been reported pregnant.

Yeah i will Thank you for the help! I'll keep updates of what

Yep! Even kittens should stay in until they are spayed. Do you plan to spay her after this litter?

 

[Nisley quinn]

Im not sure i have to talk to my parents about that tho

 

[talkingpeanut]

It's important. Definitely talk to your parents.

Back to back litters are very hard on cats:

I hope your parents will agree to spay.
