I like Hill's Science diet for kittens. Is she being free-fed? How old is she?
I think the cat I'm fostering is about as far along as yours. I got her last Friday. She came into the shelter on Feb 27th. So she has to be at least 4 weeks. But I can feel movement when I touch her belly.

My cat is 7 weeks pregnant, her belly is kinda small so I think it will be a smaller litter. I can see movement almost every time she lays down. Maybe they will have there babies with in the same week. Do you have a picture of her?

Gertie's coloring makes it kind of hard to see movement. I can feel it pretty much every time I touch her. I really wish I knew for sure how far along she is.

My Gertie had diarrhea today. Is that common towards the end of pregnancy?

I don't like so. It's normal for cats to have loose stools every now and then. I'd suggest taking her to the vet just to sure.

The cat I have right now had diarrhea when she was around 4 weeks pregnant, but it’s difficult for all cats so maybe you should call the vet.

So she has about a week and 2 days left which is super exciting! She has a smaller belly so I’m thinking a small litter, the babies are moving everyday. When will her milk come in? And is there anything I need to look for in her last week of pregnancy?

Sometimes milk comes in up to a week before delivery, and other times not until right before or after delivery. It will come though! 😊

You’ll start to see vaginal discharge and possibly her mucus plug at some point.

So she is walking around the house crying like crazy, she keeps going in every room. I also checked for vaginal discharge and she had a little bit of clear stuff coming out ( not a lot just a little) her nipples don’t have milk or anything yet but the nipples are a little wrinkley.

No, she is not meowing anymore she is just sleeping, her babies are moving a lot. Hopefully they will be here soon.
My Gertie is sleeping nonstop! She gets up to eat and use the litter box and then back to sleep. I'm hoping she goes into labor soon.

Hi, I don’t know if this has anything to do with cat pregnancy, but her spine is kinda Sticking up by her tail. I will try to get a picture of it but she isn’t really cooperating right now.

Most cats choose a nesting place and only go there when they are ready to push and deliver. Just have nests available. She’ll choose one.
