We have the most gorgeous little foster cat pregnant with 4/5 kittens. When she came on Friday I thought she was the most pregnant looking thing I'd ever seen in my life (and I work with pregnant women) and that she must be about to give birth but no sign yet.
She's very relaxed in our spare room and is still eating loads and using the litter tray, we got excited last night because she was licking herself but it appears that was just a bath. She is MASSIVE poor thing.

Let's have a pool. When do you think she'll give birth?

Thank Goodness there's not a heatwave. (Assuming you're in the UK. )

Exciting! It's so weird to watch. I could see my cats contractions, her whole tummy area kind of rolled along.

Ooh how exciting! I am shamelessly placemarking to hear about kittens Smile

She's stopped for the moment and this could be it but equally she's still quite big so I wouldn't be surprised if we had a sneaky one later in the night

They are all black so far. I can see a couple of white spots and they might lighten when they dry but I've no hope of a good picture lol

Awwwwe can't wait to see pictures

Weedsnseeds1 · 18/05/2017 00:01

Black is the best colour, but I'm biased!

There was a mum on the tinykittens.com kitten cam last year whose last kitten was born the next day! Think it was about 12 hours after the previous one.

ElizaDontlittle · 18/05/2017 07:41

Oh how exciting. Well done little cat - hope she is coping with them - bet they are all cute and lined up in a row!! Looking forward to pictures Smile
