So if we feel babies kicking in a mom cats stomach does that mean she is close to her due date?

Question

I found a a cat and we thought she was pregnant.but we did not kno how far along she is. My dad alway put her outside cause she wants to but I'm affraid she will have them outside and i don't want her to. its to dangerous out there.She ha worms and we dewormed her but imagine her baies getting sick. its just to dangerous for her and the babies. So can someone tell me if shes close or not. i feel a lot o kicking but shes not losing her appitite yet so i don't know when she will be having them.

Answer 1

It take about 2 months for them to give birth. She will start to eat and sleep alot more. She may have a discharge , and her nipples will start to produce milk. like a week before. She will also git a bit fidgity and start "nesting". Basicly, when her behavior starts to change she is getting ready. We found a stray a few years ago and she was pregnant and had tapeworms. The vet dewormed her. and the kittens were born fine.

Answer 2

I'd avoid trying to pick her up and maybe offer a secluded spot with blankets in it (back of a walk-in wardrobe, shed etc) for her to nest in. Make sure it's warm too! Good luck, and hope the kittens are cute!

ps, avoid her going out at night...

Answer 3

M y cat ate loads till her due date after i c them kicking it was bout 2wks b4 she gave birth. she was up 2 date with worming tablets and even used front-line to stop fleas which the vet said was safe while pregnant. just get her a box and put it quiet and safe and hope she will use it. I wouldn't let her out in-case she gives birth outside which could be dangerous for the kittens
