Question
Okay thanks for answering my questions last time I still need your help though. This is day 4 that she is acting like she is in heat but I know she's pregnant, she has clear stuff coming from her nipples and from her behind. I also heard that during thunder storms they like to have them because it's faster and less painful for them. And starting today when I pet her tummy she howls like she's in pain. I've read that their milk comes in when they are 5-6 weeks old and her milk has been in for almost 2 weeks ago and now it's all clear. She does have a clear discharge and is still sleeping a lot and also starting today she has ate more than she has all pregnancy it's weird. She's still cooking even when NOBODY is touching her or talking to her she will go around the whole house like she's pacing and then again it's been going on for 4 days. I really need some more help.

Answer
Nikki,

It may be she is sensing your anxiety and that she is holding off.  To make sure everything is all right, you might want to have a pre-natal check up with your vet and make sure you arrange for any emergency.

Without actually being able to see and feel the cat, it does not sound to me as if her behavior is off.

When it is in the last stages, we often get up and check on the female every 1 1/2 hours -- 2 hours, to see if anything is happening.  Unless the female is clearly in distress, we tend to just wait and let her deliver them in her own time.  This period is a bit frustrating since we would like the whole process to be over, already.

Best regards... Norm.
