Question
hi,
my cat was due yesterday to give birth but she didn't and she has no sign of giving birth or anything but she was nesting a little bit. also she has clear goo coming out of her nipples if i squeeze them. i am worried.

Answer
Take your cats temperature rectally. If it is 102.5 F or there abouts she isn't due yet or delivery is not impending.
If it is 99 degrees F then delivery is imminent in 24-48 hours. If she goes longer than that it is time to call the vet. Age, number of litters etc has a lot to do with her queening time. Plus gestation times vary from cat to cat as well.

The most important thing is to keep an eye on her, have the vet on call in case of an emergency and be prepared!
