I have a very pregnant kitty named Bruda. She is at least 8-9 weeks pregnant, and I was curious what exactly it means when her stomach starts getting harder. Does this mean the kittens will start to drop? I don't know the exact day of conception, but i have been able to feel the babies moving and have been able to see them since 4/20/12. I noticed on Friday 4/27 that her stomach was beginning to feel hard, and i haven't been able to feel the babies moving really actively in a couple of days. They used to be EXTREMELY active, as now they really just seem to twitch around in there rather than rolling around like they used to.Is this common? Also, she seems as if she is going into heat, she was been screaming at me(her calls are VERY high pitched) and following me room to room with her tail high in the air, and waiting to be let outside. She will even make me follow her to her food bowl and sit with her as she eats, but I haven't seen any contractions. Does it sound like she will be going into labor rather soon? I would really appreciate anyone who views this thread to at least leave me a little bit of information. I hate posting things on here and only getting one or two responses, i know you all have had pregnant kitties, leave me a little of your prior experience! :] Thank you!
