    Is there anyway to tell if your(Queen)is ready to give birth?
    Is there any information that would let me know if my cat is ready to have her kittens?:)

    I searched this topic up on Google and this is what I found:

    Her temperature will drop a few degrees, she will start looking for a quiet dark, safe place to have them if you haven't already provided one for her. She will start panting really hard. She may even stop eating for a day or so before she gives birth. Excessive pacing.

    Good luck I hope all the kittens are healthy.

    When I feel her belly I feel something I think that it it's a kitten but its close to where the kittens come out

    There is a possibility that the kitten(s) will be stillborn(dead before they were born) if they are she has them before they are fully developed. Do you know how many other cats were in the same litter as your? Some say your cat will have as many kittens as there was in her litter. For example if there were only three in the mother's litter then she will only have three kittens. This isn't always the case. However this is how it was for two of my cats.

    What should I do with the still born kittens should I get rid of them right away? :confused:

    We had to take them and bury them. I'm not quite sure what would happen if you leave them, because we have never done that.

    There are some times when the mother cat will not even bother with them. I think you should wait to see if they are going to move. I don't think you would have to worry. The kittens should be developed since its been about 50 days.
