is my cat in labor

Question
QUESTION: she is eating a hole lot and keeps meowing and want to be by me and last night she wouldnt let me go to sleep and when i am just holding her she puts her claws in me

ANSWER: Adina,

Maybe!  Has her milk come in?  Is she exhibiting nesting behavior?  Have the kittens formed hard knots and begun moving downwards and backwards in the abdomen?  Is there a bloody/mucous discharge?  Has her water broken?

These are all things you look for when the female is a few days or hours from giving birth.

Best regards... Norm.

QUESTION: um just three but i am takeing her to the vet cause it has been over 10 hrs and i can still feel one in her

Answer
Adina,

Yes, it is a good idea to have her into the vet.  Sometimes, they get constipated when they are about to have kittens and it may feel as if there is one left.  However, should there truly be one left, it will cause severe problems is it is not gotten out!!!!!
