Question
i read that when a cat is in labor they have a clear discharge and their nipples leak milk well i looked at my cat and she has a discharge but her nipple have no milk she keeps pacing but then lays down and nothing is this the early signs of labor and if not how will i know when she is labor  

Answer
Hi Tammy, thanks for the question. It sounds to me like your cat is in labor. They DO NOT have to leak milk before they deliver. You should be able to see her sides contracting and she will be very restless and may even moan in pain. She will want you with her and will be going in and out of her nesting box. Just sit with her and wait. It sounds like it is imminent ! Good luck and please write back ! Teresa
