Well, most cats I've known of have had their babies in the middle of the night. So, if she follows the majority, you should be fine.

You don't know how much we appreciate new AMHD babies, especially the pet ones. Hoping all goes well with this delivery.

Well I now have someone else who likes to follow me into the bathroom and talk to me or watch me while I potty or bathe lol! She is wanting to go lay in our closet instead of being in the familyroom with everyone (I am guessing this is her chosen spot, please goodness no)

My dog follows me everywhere, and unlike ticks fur babies that walk out, mine sneakily jump in. Ugh, my dog is nuts and a little to attached. Especially when I shower, he can't see me through the shower curtain so in he comes.

Brook quite blantantly rolled in 'something' at the end of our property yesterday and no alternative but to put her in the bathtub, god only knows what it was, but we do have a lot of visitors at night. My son carried her to the bathroom and she actually grabbed onto the door with her front paws knowing what was up.

Awe, poor pup!

My kitties wait outside the shower for me to get out. Then, they drink the water that hasn't drained, and one likes to lick the water off my legs.

Her tits look more whiteish to me... less pink. She is still eating though, so I know I have atleasdt another 24 hrs every time I see her eat lol. This morning she rolled onto her back so I would rub her belly, was funny I have never seen a cat do that, only my dogs lol. Updated if I have any news

redhed35 · Aug 24, 2010, 07:39 AM

Sounds like your outside cat is fast becoming an inside cat!

Hopefully she will have the kittens soon.

Emily94 · Aug 24, 2010, 08:10 AM

She is happy to be inside! I can't wait for pictures!!

hheath541 · Aug 24, 2010, 01:47 PM

My mommy cat LOVED having her belly rubbed when she was pregnant. Two of her babies like it, too.

If she's letting you touch her belly, then hopefully she won't mind you being around the babies.

Hmmm, her poo is runny. She missed the box so I had to clean it up off the floor. This is the second runny poo today...
Any thoughts.

For human women, this is a sign that labor will begin soon -- "Loose stools are caused by the release of prostaglandins which causes cervical effacement, softening, etc. Prostaglandins also can cause soft stools or diarrhea. Time until labor? Usually only a matter of a day or hours." (pregnancy.about.com) hheath will know if that works with cats too.

hheath541 · Aug 24, 2010, 09:48 PM

It could be the change in diet. Do you know if she hunted when she was outside?

ashleycam · Aug 25, 2010, 05:29 AM

Yes she hunted everything and anything that moved : mice, lizards, frogs, birds, my roses and hydrangias lol. That is why we have outside kittys, they hunt. She always ate this same food too though.

ashleycam · Aug 25, 2010, 05:45 AM

OK, here is Sammi, our lil' momma : ) She is so tired, she couldn't stay awake this morning. Walked out of her room, jumped onto the foot stool and nodded off lol!

hheath541 · Aug 25, 2010, 06:40 PM

the diarrhea may just be because of the change in diet, then. She went from hunting and dry food (which provides a high protein diet), to just dry food. Give it time for her body to adjust, or try giving her a high protein canned food. The canned food will help her produce milk for the kittens, anyway.

she's gorgeous. And, it looks like you may have trouble getting her to stay outside after this. You may have ended up with an indoor/outdoor kitty ^_^

Try to get ahold of a cat rescue organization and tell them that you have a sweet stray momma who is about to have/just had kittens and you need someone to take them. They will find them good homes and get them spayed and neutered. Make sure it is cat rescue not a shelter that will put them to sleep.
If you don't do this try to find low cost/free spay and neuter through a cat rescue organization before you put them back outside at 8 or so weeks to prevent this from happening again.
You are a great person for taking her in to let her have them somewhere cool, comfortable, and safe. Most people wouldn't do that :D
