when do you know if your cat is ready to have kittens, mine is pregnant.?

Question

my cat is pregnant and i dont know when she ready to have them.
she is really fat. she has no energy like she used to.

Answer 1

Having no energy is normal for her being pregnant. You have remember, she is carrying 3-8 babies in her belly, takes a lot of energy to carry and nurture them in utero. She's probably eating more now and when it comes time for her to have the babies she will either start gorging herself or avoiding eating. (Cats go either way, depends on mom) She will find a quiet place away from everyone that she will start preparing. Cats don't like an audience when laboring normally, if you are really close she might wwant you near but don't count on it. I had one cat who refused to deliver unless we were with her, even delivering in the hall when she came to get us but she was the only cat out of the dozens I've had that did. During labor, she is likely to screech, pant loudly, drool, and hiss. If you hear any of this, you can be sure babies are coming.

Answer 2

Call or bring her to the Vet if she is acting in any way that makes you concerned. Cats really are good at hiding that they are sick.

My cat had kittens when I was a kid, she went and hid in the cupboard and had them.

When she has them, wait a little while and take her to the Vet to be spayed. Are you going to care for her kittens or will they end up a a shelter? Sorry to be invasive but I worry about newborn kttens, with so many cats in kill shelters.

OKAY...Your cat will begin to "curry"(prepare) a particular location--hopefully in your house--to get ready for the birthing event!!

Answer 4

u r cat must have selected a particular place in ur house where it spends most of its time.....u will soon find the kittens in that very place

Answer 5

Your cat will look for a place to give birth. She'll be way more affectionate.
