Hi.
sorry about this long post so please bear with me. I have a pregnant cat who is about 60-61 days. Due at any time. She scratches and meows only at night. I know this is her nesting period. but this has been going on for 3 days I would have thought she would already be in labor by now. I was told that this is the thier first stage of labor. Has anyone cats been doing that for that long? I hear they usually have their first kitten between 12-24 hours. She was also very petite before she has got pregnant. She is bigger but not overly big. Does this kind of tell the size of a cats litter? Has anyones cat that was small had a big litter? Also she still eats normally but does her nesting. Has anyones cat eat up until birth? I hear cats tend to have their kittens at night. Is this true? Has anyone ever had a cat go into labor during the day? I see her little ones constantly move around. Is this a sign of up coming labor? She also (Her name is Sunshine) wanted nothing to do with the area I had prepared for her. I noticed when she was scatching she was doing it on a throw rug we had. She left her scent there so I know that was where she intends on having her babes. My kids made a box so I lined it with the throw rug. Which happens to be an oriental rug.
I don't care though.She is just starting to sleep there so I think she will have her kittens there. I get so excited. I am constantly lying on the floor and petting her. I also have checked her nipples. They are pink and swollen they actually look like breasts. Is this a sign? Maybe I am reading into things but I just can't take the suspense. I wanna be there for her. hope to hear from you soon. Darc
