I have this cat named Heidi. Some of you might remember last summer I found her under my steps when she was just a kitten. Well she comes and goes at my house. I was going to have her spayed but she left and was gone for about a month and then she came back and then left for a couple months...anyway she came back about 6 weeks ago and she was pregnant.

Today she was fine and then this afternoon I noticed she was walking funny. Its like her right hip "gives" when she walks. I made her a very nice bed to have her kittens in. It is a wooden shelf off the ground with a roof and a nice big box full of flannel sheets, and I put a big area rug that I had in my house over the top so wind and rain wouldn't blow in. She hates it, she wouldn't even lay in it. She has been laying in the mulch in my flower bed in a little cubby hole that goes back into my floor all day. I carried her to her bed that I made and she would go back to the mulch again, this happened several times today. It is supposed to rain tonight so I put her in my utility room on my carport and made her a bed there back under the desk and she is content there. I put her a litter box and food and water in there too. She has not eaten all day either.

I guess my question is do you think she is in labor? Do you think her hip is ok? I felt of her leg and her hips and I didn't feel any deformities. My husband and my sister thinks that she has a kitten laying on a nerve and that is what is causing her to walk different. Any one here with experience with cats in labor??
