My cat is about ten months...

Question
My cat is about ten months old. About eight weeks ago, she ran away for a week, and came back pregnant. When she first came back, she was very lathargic and was drooling mucus. This lasted for about two weeks. After that, she seemed fine, and returned to her normal, playful self. For the past few days, she has returned to the same behavior and drooling of mucus. She is due anywhere from tomorrow or the coming week, depending on when she got pregnant the week she was gone. I can't afford to take her to the vet, but I am very worried about her. Please let me know if this could be due to the pregnancy, or if she is seriously ill. I love my kitty!!!

Sincerely,
Kristen

Answer
first i have to ask..if you cant afford to take her to the vet, how will you afford to feed and take care of all the kittens she will have if you dont get her to the vet to have her spayed?

i dont think this is normal behavior for a pregnant cat. you need to take her to the vet as soon as possible.
if you cant afford to get her the medical care she will need her entire life you need to find her a good home with someone who can and will take care of her properly.
