About 2 weeks ago I rescued a supposed pregant female cat. I took her to the vet last friday which was a waste of money, the stupid VET said she didn't know if she was pregant she COULDN'T TELL. So it's been a week now and this cat has just recently gotten huge, I called my friedn who works for a vet who told the vet my sitation and the vet said not to worry, to feed her and let her be but keep an eye on her. I might be overacting. She is very happy and nice. But the other day she bite me.. so I don't know whats going on. She's been wormed and is very healthy. She has also started to eat more.

If the cat has been wormed, then the cat is almost definitely pregnant. Just give her some time, she should give birth within a couple of days. There may be something seriously wrong if she hasn't given birth within a week, and you should consider revisiting the vet.

The big day has arrived when your pregnant cat is ready to give birth to her kittens. This process is technically called "queening." Chances are that you will not need to do anything to help with the birth process except to be with your cat to encourage her. You may even wake one morning to discover that your pregnant cat has given birth during the night, and is comfortably nursing her kittens. However, you should know how to spot potential problems and what action to take, should she need assistance with the birth process.
Signs of Impending Labor
* Nesting
This was covered in the previous article on Care and Feeding of a Pregnant Cat.
* Behavioral Changes
These include restless pacing, panting, excessive grooming (especially in the area of her genitals), and excessive vocalization.
* Physical Signs of Labor
There may be a drop in normal body temperature.
* The cat may vomit. The abdomen may "drop" a few days before labor, and the nipples may become larger and pinker.
* Active Labor
Contractions will start and you will see the appearance of the amniotic sac. You may also see a discharge of blood or other colored fluid.
Your biggest role may be to prepare the birthing area and move your queen into it.
Good luck!! We also just adopted a pregnant cat. She is very moody and so huge, that I am worried about her. I keep seeing signs that labor is near, but then nothing happens!! I would just keep an eye on her. I know you are anxious - so am I !! Just let nature take its course.

because of the fact she replaced right into a stray cat, she could have as much as ten kittens in there! Stray cats are often impregnanted different cases durnig one warmth cycle, ensuing in very great litters and a mix of kittens by way of diverse father cats. you would know she's approximately to have the kittens while there's a sparkling or slightly bloody discharge. She'll additionally seem very uncomfortable and could p.c.., unable to take a seat nevertheless. verify she has a sparkling field with an old, sparkling towel in it, so she will nest and characteristic a secure place for her infants.

Pregnant cats often go wandering to find a good place to give birth, so that might be what she's doing. If she really is pregnant, you should find a safe place for her, such as a large, shallow cardboard box. This way she will be more comfortable when she gives birth because the box is private and it will protect the kittens.

has she had her shots? if she is biting you had better make sure she gets some.
your vet should know if she is pregnant depending on how far along she is suppose to be.
gestation for cats is approx. 3 months. she will not look fat
as in an all over large tummy.
she will stick out on the sides and you will be able to see the kittens move around.
make sure she has had her feline lukemia shots or she can pass them onto her kittens, if she is infected she will have to be put down, it is a contagious disease.

If she really is pregnant, she will have the babies when they are ready to be born. (not much help). I would just continue to keep her well fed and happy, are her nipples starting to swell? Also the fur is not around the nipples when the babes are to be born. Good luck with the new family. I would probably find a new vet, if he can't tell if she is pregnant!

Well just let her alone....if she bit you and it is out of character for her she may be feeling close to delivery time. When the time is right she'll deliver. Give her privacy and don't try to interfere with the kittens unless you want bit again. Only interfere if something seems wrong with them or is she ignores them after they are born.

I'm sure kittie will know when its time. Keep her in a place she feels safe, is warm, and secure. Leave food and water close buy, and wait. Soon she will reward you with a few more smiling faces.
