water breakage in cats

14:50:40

Question
Hello, I have a cat who is very much pregnant. Yesterday is around the 63rd day from mating. Several days ago, she was all wet down her back legs and licking a lot. Was it possible that her water broke then although she has not delivered her kittens yet?
Thank you for your help.

Answer
Sharon,

Sharon,

I suppose it is possible her water broke, but not neceeasily. We have had that very thing happen about a week before birth, although, we do not think the water had broken, nor did she deliver at that time.  We never really ascertained what it was, but all went OK at the correct time.

I would keep an eye on her and see what develops.  If there is anything that does not appear to be correct, a trip to the vet would be a good idea.

Please let me know what happens.

Best regards... Norm.
