Pregnant cat

Brilliant thanks for that we are at 60 days today babies are wriggling like mad and she's eating loads at the minute and just chills in her nesting spot when not sat in the garden

Hi we are 9 weeks tomorrow Nala is a little quiet this morning and constantly looking for daft places to get to ie: behind the TV unit her eyes are a little dialated and just always looking for places to get could this mean she is in a little bit of pain and things are starting? I've not seen no loss as such but she can't reach down to clean herself properly as she's massive for her size but she definitely doesn't seem her normal self today she's eating and using the litter tray as normal but do all cats lose appetite before birth?

I have also just taken her temp and it's 37.6 so maybe something is starting to happen

 

[Martiene71]

Just done her temp again and it's 37.2 does this mean labour has started? She's been in 2 different nest boxes and arranged the bedding she's still eating but her tummy is rippling away

Yes, it sounds like labor has started - right on time!

Oh lovely got up this morning and her bedding in her nest was all over the place she woke me at 5am for food she was headbutting me crying at me etc she had eaten her breakfast but is now lay across the kitchen floor belly seems be rippling and she seems be breathing a little heavy managed to do her temp again under her armpit and it's 37.2 so we seem be going in the right direction

Thought I'd give you a quick update Nala was very restless last night in her nest woke up at 2.25 to a little cry roll on. 3 hours later and we have 5 gorgeous kittens mum has done an amazing job all babies are feeding well but I have felt her tummy and it feels like there is one more in there all babies are healthy and beautiful
