I made her a box and she loved it and labored in it but had her first baby on my rug! i think she was just freaked that something that big was trying to get out! I just sat with her, and put her and the baby back in the box and after that she was fine. Had 4 babies but we lost one  and she was a good mommy.
When I noticed she was close, she was staying v close to her comfort zone, that was clue #1, then, she started going into her box ALOT, that was clue #2. When she stopped eating & drinking, I sat with her for a bit and noticed her grunting, that was the 2x4 over my head! And I was a labor & delivery nurse for years, go figure. She will tell you when its time, but to prevent harm to her or the babies, Id keep her in her safe house as she sounds like shes getting close. try some wet food and as far as the litter box goes, I never had one coz they all went outside, but, you can rub her front feet in it so she knows thats her "go" spot.
Sorry so long, hope it helps. PM me if you need extra support.
PS All my stray mamas were spayed after they weaned! |
Thanks for the advice. She will definetly be spayed asap. She would have already been spayed if she would have coroporated with ehr appointment date....
. This is my 4th cat since I have lived here for 6 years, unless you count all the neighbors cats that hang out here. The other 3 that I had were spayed before they got pregnant but they have all ran away, the last one Sunhine left shortly after Heidi arrived....
. It gets expensive spaying the strays doesn't it....and then they leave you...
, its worth the money though so you don't end up the crazy cat lady with 50 cats at her house.
