My cat is pregnant and over the last week or two she has got bigger and bigger is she due soon?

Question

The kittens will go to good homes once they are born.

Answer 1

About 65 days. A variation of four days either way is not unusual, so the whole cat gestation period may be as short as 61 days or as long as 69.

the first distinct signs of pregnancy happen around two or three weeks after mating. If pregnant, your cat's nipples will start to "pink up" and enlarge a bit in preparation for milk. Then, at between three and four weeks of pregnancy, she may get morning sickness and vomit from time to time. From four weeks onward, the kittens will be visible on an x-ray or sonogram, and may be able to be counted.
Finally, at five weeks your cat's abdomen will start to enlarge. At roughly seven weeks, the queen may begin to lose her appetite and refuse to eat. At this point, the kittens' movement can easily be felt. At seven to eight weeks, she will spend a lot more time grooming herself and might look for a place to have her kittens. Her nipples will then also become even more swollen. They might even expel milky fluid between two to five days before birth.

Answer 2

The gestation is about 8 weeks...so if she has been pregnant for about that expect kittens any day....make sure to give her a nice dark, comfy place to give birth. a nice laundry basket with plenty of blankets in there will make her feel comfortable and will keep the kittens from wondering after they are born. Also be prepared for the chance that the mom doesnt take care of them. If she doesnt have any interest in them, it is up to you to feed them kitten formula every 2 hours or so for the first week. then every 3-4 hours the next 2-3 weeks...it is very time consuming yet rewarding to see the kittens grow up. Make sure you are willing to do this if she doesnt feed them. If not call your vet or a local cat rescue to ask about foster mothers for the kittens. They can adopt htem out from there. If you have any other questions feel free to email me...

Answer 3

Sounds like it. MAke sure she is warm and well fed and son just before the birth she will have a nesting period where she will stay until the kittys are born. THis usually is in a wardrobe or under a bed. Once she makes her mind up you will know as she will spend a lot f time there, provide her with a few blankets to keep the babies warm. If you live in manchester i would love to have ne f them for my ther kitten t play with. God luck :)

Answer 4

Watch to see where she is making her nest. Just leave her alone mostly and she will do fine. My cat's belly literally drug the ground right before she had her kittens! Glad you have good homes for this litter. Let them stay with mom for at least 8 weeks. This way she can teach them things and they will be better adjusted cats. As soon as the kittens are 8 weeks old, take Mom to be spayed. Make sure not to mess with the kittens before she brings them out on her own. She could reject them because of your smell on them or move them somewhere where you can't find them. ♥

Answer 5

....and then you'll get her spayed once the kittens are weaned of course :-)

Cats are pregnant for 63-65 days. Any longer than this, consult a vet. If you don't know when she was mated, definitely consult a vet.
