Re: when will i know if my baby is ready to give birth
hi
theres no set way to say what day she will give birth - cats are pregnant for 9 weeks approx - during the last 3 weeks they will get noticably bigger and really start to waddle!!, she will start looking for somewhere to have the kittens - she might spend alot of time relaxing too - also cats usually start producing milk 1 - 3 days before giving birth and they will start to clear some of the fur around their nipples to make it more accessible for the kittens - so this is usualy quite a good indicator. she should clean herself around her lower end and tummy - a lot in the days leading up to the birth to get ready and clean and also the scent she leaves there helps the kittens find their way up her body to the milk. hope this helps, lets us know how you get on, susie

Ours didn't really give us any warning. Was eating and toileting normally, waddling obviously. Then all of a sudden bam we were a go!

Re: when will i know if my baby is ready to give birth
Must say I think you breeders do an amazing job. My eyes have been totally opened looking after Nala and her babies. Its hard work but so enjoyable. Couldn't take up breeding though as no one would be good enough for my kittens, selfish aren't I!!!!

Haha, no, not selfish, lol. It is very hard though, but they bring so much joy & laughter which makes it all worthwhile
These have just started the arching of their backs, tails in the air and dancing sidewards, it's sooo funny

Re: when will i know if my baby is ready to give birth
We never had a clue with Lursa and Keira seemed to wait until we went in her room. I'd say just find a secure place and keep her there.
