advice on pregnant cat

Hi,

I have a year and half old pregnant cat (cleo), who is expecting anytime. This morning at 4am she was meowing constantly, restless and looking around, she hasnt eaten or had anything to drink, ive showed her it but she just walks away. We also have two small 6 month old kitten girls sadie and sasha and she was getting hold of their necks and pulling them into her nesting area, i then took sadie away as she was crying and cleo went mad jumping up at me to try and get to sadie, anyway i put the two girls into another room and left cleo by herself and she was constantly by my bedroom door meowing and scratching at the door, this was going on for about 3 hours, so i let the girls out and cleo settled down into her nesting area. I havent seen any discharge from her yet and feels alittle hot and shes making the sound like shes in heat, ive phoned my vet and they have told me just to keep a close eye on her. Is this a sign of her going into early labour, she wasnt like this at all yesterday, she was sitting on the window ledge.

I'm no cat expert but going by what you have said..Going of her food and meowing at your bedroom door does sound to me she is getting ready to have these babys
Looks like she wanted your bedroom to have them in lol.

Is her set up nesting place near where the girls are continuously playing? Maybe she felt abit uncomphy when they was around and maybe thats why she was at your bedroom door for ages trying to get away knowing she is going to give birth soon? U said she settled down after you put the girls out so maybe she felt uncomphy having her little ones where the girls are?

Maybe someone in the know will tell you different, someone with more knowledge of cats but il'd say she is ready to be a mum

ps..Theres alot of maybes there hehe.



When the babys arrive please be sure to show us pics of them .

When a Queen is due to give birth this is normal behaviour, She will want to mother the other kitten it sounds like she will have her babies tonight

update on pregnant cat

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, just to let you know she gave birth to kitten number 1 at 5.03 pm a tabby and kitten number 2 at 5.27pm was a black kitten, both are doing well and mummy done a great job delivering and cleaning them up. We can still see movement in her tummy so we are waiting on the next kitten.

I will keep you all informed.

Re: advice on pregnant cat

Hi,

Sorry to double post, but i was just wondering what is the longest any of you have heard of gaps between kittens being born. At the moment our last kitten was born 2 hours 45 minutes ago and we can still feel and see movement in her tummy.

Thanks
