How are things going?
Still no babies just waiting patiently at this point maybe she was earlier then I thought is it possible for me to have seen movement early ? But all she dose is lay down and sleep her vulva dose look a bit swollen though I don’t know maybe I’m paying to much attention to her , it’s her first litter and I just wanna make sure I’m there Incase I have to intervene

I'm not a vet, but I believe it is. She could be getting close to having those babies :)

possibly this ... one of the veterinary sites I was looking at indicated maybe today or tomorrow possibly. It's of course totally up to her, or rather those babies :)
Hang in there :thumbsup:

goodness, that's some serious nesting instinct going on LOL

Maybe try and save your 3 month old, since when she has her own kittens she may not appreciate his company. There's no way to know for sure, but nonetheless her milk needs to be for the little ones :) Would she accept a soft toy in his place I wonder?

It’s okay for her to “mother” him a little, but he must be separated and NOT in the nest with newborns once they arrive.

He probably will not hurt them intentionally, but he will be much bigger and therefore take up nest space and milk that the babies need. He needs to be neutered soon too! :)

He’s allready neutered and she’s just crying for him every time he leaves it’s like she wants him to nurse I’m so confused I’ve been keeping an eye on her though once she gives birth he’s going to stay with a relative till the kittens are at least a month old to make sure he Dose not take the milk they need

Bless your heart!
At that point, first see if mama even wants him anywhere near. It's possible she'll utterly reject him when she has her own tiny ones to look after and if so, you wouldn't have to send him away :)

This is normal in the couple days preceeding birth. It usually means her body is preparing for labor and delivery. A lot of bright red blood is not usually a good sign. How are things now?
