Hi everyone,
My girl is 68 days pregnant, huge, and there has been movement in her abdomen from the kittens for the past 2 weeks or more. I can feel them moving when she sits on my lap.
She is fit and healthy, still eating the same amount to date. This morning I noticed her milk had come in, white and sticky when touching her nipples. She has not made any signs of nesting yet. Do you think the birth is imminent ? and at what point should I let a vet intervene? as in, how many days do I let her go.
I cannot pinpoint her actual date of conception as she was with the stud for a week, but calculated her date from the 4th day she was with him as that is when the stud owner confirmed he actually witnessed the happy couple ' in action',
So from the 4th day with the stud, up to today, she would be 68 days, but could possbly be more.
This is her first litter and she is 1 year old.
I know cats are in the 'sisters are doing it for themselves' bracket, but I really want to be around to support her and am back at work tomorrow, so wont be there for her 24/7. I will go home at lunchtime tho to check her. I'm worried she may have gone too long and I should get her to a vet soon?
She is eating and using her litter tray fine, and seems quite happy in herself.
thankyou for any advice and support
