In labour?


Jennie hasn't been out of her bed all day (she's took a fancy to an enclosed cat carrier.

She's poked her head out to have some food and a drink, and been to the litter tray which i've moved close to her.

I took the lid off to check her over and she just got out and moved into another enclosed one.

Could she be in labour? She is showing no other outward signs.

Re: In labour?


It could be getting close, Random. Keep a close eye on her. Have you seen any small contractions?

No nothing, but she didn't like me touching her or trying to look for anything, she just wants to be left alone. She's curled right up at the back of the box, but am keeping a close eye on her. She's not long had her dinner and everything fine, but just popped her head out to eat and went back in the box.

Let her pick her quiet spot. If you hover too much she may decide to hide for real and the box seems a better place for kittens than behind a wardrobe...

She is is her box under the staircase in the hallway. I'm in the living room at the moment, but it's true this is her best spot so far as she's been checking out behind the TV cabinet for the last couple of days!

Re: In labour?


Yes, that would really get in the way of telly-watching. Sounds like she's well on her way to becoming a good mum.

She's just came into the living room and sat on the sofa sleeping.

Keep a close eye on her Random, it could start anytime. Most likely early hours of the morning
