Question
first i want to say i love animals like i love children cause i have five and want one more.
now i have two cats a gerbal and a dog (one big happy family). my girl cat is pregnant. she matted on june 02 and june 03 of 2008. she has been very tired now. she will just get up and then lay any place in the house to go to sleep most of the time she lays in the bathroom. when she hears me in the kitchen, she will run in, i fix her, her kitty meal. she then takes just a couple of bites then lay down.
she comes around my children from time to time and rubs on us but, most of the time she wants to be alone.
her belly is round but not as bulgy as it use to be. her breast has gotten bigger. the hair around her nipples has gone away. some times it looks as if she wants to throw up but doesent. her bowls are normal she doesent seem sick other then being pregnant. i feel kittens moving in her stomach even between her legs. she had clear liquid comming from her nipples three days ago and three days ago she had just a tiny greenish yellow spot when i wiped her.
can you help me ?

Answer
Hi Renee, thank you for your question.It sounds like you have a pregnant cat! From your description she just sounds very pregnant but not quite ready to deliver. When they are about 3 days before delivery they will start to look around the house for a place to have the kittens. they will dig in dark places and then start sleeping in these out of the way places. Just before she goes into labour she may feel a little cool to the touch and most cats don't want to eat. You will definitely know when labour starts as it is very painful(well you have had children .. so you know !) and she will be following you around and making a lot of noise and then standing still as the contractions come and go.
But for now.. I think you have a few more days to wait. Teresa
