Mine wouldn't eat when in hard labor. She also liked fuzzy blankets and soft things to have her babies on. Do you have a heating pad or some rice mamas ready? For my cat she would have the first one no problem and then the second I would have to help pull out and once the second one was out she would have the rest on her own.

Did yours eat before being in labour..or did they stop eating in the last 24 hours before? I do have a heating pad ready and hope I am awake when she has the babies...I dont want to miss it and I dont want to miss out if something goes wrong...god forbid..

she stopped eating a few hours before. she would eat that night and always at about 3am she would wake me up to have them. It can take a few hours for the first one to come out. when she wouold start to push she would sit up half way on her hip. When she was having trouble she would be pushing and would start to scream, then I knew i had to help her out. if you can't sleep in the same room as her can you borrow a baby monitor from someone and set it up in or near the closet? You should be able to her licking like crazy when ready to have them or having them.

Hmmm will have to look for a baby monitor at the second hand store..all of my friends are way past the baby stage...great idea though!! She has been cleaning herself much more than my other cats do and they do it alot lol..Im going upstairs to visit her again...lol..

Thanks,

My older cat HATES her belly or feet touched. If she is having diarrhea that could be a sign she's getting closer...

I'm not an expert on birthing or anything LOL. But don't human women normally poop before giving birth? Maybe she couldn't control it coming out because she's getting close??

sweetr72 · 09-22-2007, 10:38 PM

Haha...I cant remember that one lol..she is pacing around the room..but she has been doing that for 2 days now...thanks for the imput Doc LOL..

Well with diarreah she could of been in the litter box, but it shot over the sides. I bet shes getting close.

altigger74 · 09-23-2007, 06:03 AM

I wouldn't worry too much about diarrhea. The pacing may be that she is undecided about the best place to have the babies. I would definitely try to check to see if she's discharging.
