Hi Everyone, I have been checking out this site for the last few weeks and I want you all to know your posts have been extremely helpful. My cat Molly is pregnant, we didn't get her spayed fast enough (she will be after this) and here I am
Anyway, I am not 100% sure how far along she is, I originally thought that she was going to be due somewhere around the 17th of March, but she seems to be farther along than that with signs. So here is where we are with her maybe someone can give me their personal experience. I know every cat is different.
--Her belly is quite large in comparison to her overall size and hard as a rock. She has been showing for about 3 weeks maybe a little more. I knew she was pregnant before she was showing because she became SUPER friendly to me.
--I have been seeing the kittens moving around in there for the last 3 days rather clearly.
--Touching her stomach is out most of the time, she does not like it.
--I gave up on the temperature idea being accurate as she has had a couple times of dropping to 98-99F and went back to normal the next day with no labor.
--I have been keeping her locked in my room and she has been going from nesting to in the window and back to nesting.
--She has been eating like a hog until today, I don't think she ate anything I put down this morning. She sniffed the bowl and drank some but unless she ate while I left the room I am not thinking she ate.
--Last night she was licking her belly a lot. (some hair is gone around her nipples but not like I have seen pics of on here though she has longer belly fur)
--She also was acting a bit nuts last night, just running like a mad man all over the house (I let her out of my room for a few hrs per night for sanity lol)
So does it sound like she is close? My husband is starting to get annoyed with me because I am constantly checking on her and worried that I will miss it and something will go wrong and I won't be there.
