My cat is 14 months old and she is pregnant. She got pregnant while I was away on holiday. Idont know what to do as I have never had or known a pregnant cat. About 3 days ago there was white mucus coming from her and there is nothing now. I'm just a little worried incase she is due her kittens soon. Could anyone give me some advise on this please. I'm worried about my cat as she means a lot to me. Thank you very much.

These are things you need to look for.
Contact the vet during the birth when:
The queen has been in labor for 2 hours but hasn´t given birth.
If after 6 hours from last seen blood or any discharge appeared from vulva but she is not bearing down.
When she stops bearing down for more than 2 hours but she is still carring kittens
When to contact the vet after the birth:
If you see bleeding from the vagina more than 2 teaspoons.
If a colored, WHITE, or foul smelling vaginal discharge appears.
If she seems lethargic, dull, or ignors her kittens.
If normal eating and drinking isn´t restored within 24 hours of given birth.
If you can "see" or the queen is behaving as if she wants to go to the bathroom but doesn´t produce anything.
If she has a fever, please take the temp with a thermometer not by touch normal temp is 101.2 F (39.5 C), call your vet for advice.
If she is restless and vocal and shows no interest in her new kittens.
Please take your queen to the vet ASAP and have her checked over.
Good luck and hope everything goes well.

When the white mucus comes, that means it could be any day now the kittens will be born! Give her a nice new clean cardboard box with a clean towel in it and let nature take it's course! Place the box in a quiet out of the way place so she has no worries during labor, such as a dog, children or other cats bothering her. And be there for her during labor and delivery. Also when you see her chewing on the cords of the kittens and eating the after birth, don't panic, she is suppose to do that! If she seems to be in trouble at any time during delivery, get her to a vet! Right NOW is the time to go on the Internet and learn all you can about cats giving birth so you'll know what to expect! If you can't find anything on the Internet, then go to your local library or see a vet! Most importantly, don't panic or be scared, cats have been doing this for centuries! Good Luck!

While it could just be the loosening of a mucus plug in her cervix in preperation for delivery, since you don't know exactly how pregnant she is, she needs to be checked by a vet. She could also have an infection which is causing the drainage which may kill her and the kittens. A vet should have monitored her pregnancy as soon as you thought she may have been pregnant to make sure she stayed healthy and had no problems with having kittens, so just please take her to your vet for evaluation. Your vet should be able to give you some idea of how far along she is, possibly even how many kittens she's carrying(best guess anyway without an X-Ray) and advise you about prenatal care for her, and what to be ready for when the big time comes. 6-8 wks later, you should get her spayed so you don't ever have to worry about this kind of thing happening again, and spaying is one of the best ways to prevent many types of cancer in animals along with stopping the overpopulation problem of all pets. Good luck to momma!

I don't think this is a good sign, you might want to call a vet.
