Advice please! Cat close to birth?

Hi all, I have a 7 month old kitten who’s due to give birth imminently. I have never been in this position before so am slightly shitting it! I think I have everything set up (as well as it could be given the circumstances). She’s been acting quite odd today, incredibly affectionate, needy and has been continuously scratching in her litter tray. She was ‘humping’ my jumper earlier and is now in a deep slumber on it. We don’t know when she was impregnated but we had an ultrasound at the vets 3 weeks on Thursday, where they said it would be 2 weeks max. I’m just incredibly worried because she is so tiny and baby belly is huge. I think I’m just looking for reassurance and possibly some uplifting cat pregnancy/birth stories. Thanks guys

your cat just needs a quiet place to give birth. just give her some space. give her sufficient food, or maybe natural food to have a good breast feeding

Hi All, it's been quite some time but just thought I'd post a gratuitous photo of my girls! I feel like you guys have been there from the beginning so an update is required. They are absolute shitbags and bloody gorgeous!

They are lovely! Are they finally giving their mother some peace? 😆

They are! And she's so much more contented. She's actually playing, which we've never seen her do because she came to us heavily pregnant and then had the trauma of babies 🤣 We're so in love with them all ❤️

They are beautiful and starting to look like proper little cats though I bet they have a Mad Half Hour when the mood takes them Grin
I do have a soft spot for tortoishells , our old girl was a tortie with a white bib and paws (the brindle coat not the block colours )

We have two jet black M/F siblings who very rarely cuddle up , they get on well but like their own space.

Never had a tortie before...it's an experience! I've always had black cats and I find they're very selective but can be incredibly affectionate!

This has been the loveliest story, with a happy ending, to follow. X

This is totally the wrong thread but you guys have been so incredibly helpful in the past...and for the life of me, I cannot work out how to find the actual subject that I need! My daughter is in her 3rd of Uni, studying fine art. She is looking for opportunities to showcase her art, or connect with people that can help. I've attached a few examples. Please can someone point me in the right direction...all the searching in the world has led me to almost pulling my hair out!

OP, it might be better to start a new thread as anyone opening this one will be giving you cat advice.
Unfortunately, I know zero about art but I hope you find your answers.
