Well, kittens will often "stick out" on one side or other when the birth is close.

Re: is this normal?

Yes! Cats (and all other animals who have more than a few babies in a litter) have a horn-shaped uterus... kind of like a V. That allows all the embryos to attach and form placentas. If the cat is lop-sided she may have more in one side of the V than the other - but it doesn't mean much in terms of numbers. In the later days before birth you may be able to work out how many there are each side - but they always have one or two extra tucked up in the middle

Re: is this normal?

Thank you, it does look quite odd!!.

i took these today, i don't know much about cat pregnancy but i don't think she has 2-3 weeks left, what do you think? when i got her 5 1/2 weeks ago she was only 4 pounds and her tummy was very sunken in, so she is very very big considering what she was like, her belly seems to be growing so much everyday. i can feel and see them moving now, i just can't imagine what her belly will look like if she does have that long left, not at the rate it's growing anyway.

Looks like it will not be long before your lady has her kittens. Better get yourself organised with birthing box etc.
