How do you know when your cat is going to have her kittens?

Answer 1

Like most of the animals i have had, they will make it known that something is happening so they can feel safe. If it is an outside cat then the only way is to keep it inside. Good luck and congrats.

Answer 2

When your cat starts moving slower and hiding. Some cling to it's owner, but the best indicator is when you can see the sack. It takes around 9 weeks from conception.

A cat's temperature will drop a few degrees 24 hours before the onset of labour. Just before giving birth, she will often be seen kneading, pawing and going round in circles inside the 'nest' preparing it for birth. She may seem restless and go off her food.

Answer 3

Signs that a cat is going into labor include restlessness, nesting behavior, loss of appetite, and sometimes a slight drop in body temperature. As labor progresses, the cat may vocalize, lick her vulva, and have visible contractions. It's important to monitor your cat closely and contact a vet if you have concerns or if labor lasts longer than a few hours without any kittens being born.

Answer 4

On the lighter side.

Cats seldom 'phone or write before visiting. It is mostly a matter of routine and becoming used to their foibles.
