Is this a for shure sign of pregnancy? I just need to make sure because this is really important. I can handle kittens ive got the room and supplies ill be taking her to the vet in a few days just to make sure that she is healthy.answers 1:Yes it does sound like she is pregnant. With the nipples getting larger in size, this is a very strong sign of pregnancy. Take her to the vet though to ensure that she has proper health, and great nutrition, so that she is able to prepare for the kittens.answers 2:Short answer, yes. Lizanswers 3: http://www.catsofaustralia.com/pregnant-cat.htm here are some signs of a pregnant cat. Sounds like sh! e is! I remember when my cat had her first litter...after all my preparation, she decided to have them in the bottom of my closet! I came home from work and found them all resting comfortably there. She totally ignored the blankets and other familiar things I had prepared for her. good luck!answers 4:Yes she is preganet. It will be about 1 month after they start pinking that she will have her kittens.Pregnancies are as different from cat to cat as they are from woman to woman. In general, however, there are some things you can recognize as signs your cat is going into labor.She will start nesting She may lose her appetite She may become more affectionate and clingy She may become anxious or restless She may have a vaginal discharge She may lick and groom her vaginal areaShe will start panting with her mouth open as she is very close to delivering, and soon, she will start trying to push. This is the beginning of her second stage of labor, with the third stage being the ! delivery of the placenta.More than likely, your cat will handl! e the entire delivery with ease and require no help at all from you, and you should let her give that a try before offering assistance. There are instances where sheâll need your help, and you should always be prepared, have your birthing supplies on hand, and know when to call the vet.Cat Birthing SuppliesLots of clean hand towels A pair of hemostats (or 2) A pair of dull scissors Unwaxed dental floss or thread Alcohol or iodineAlong with these basic things, you will also need your phone and the number of your vet and an emergency vet in case your cat delivers in the middle of the night and has trouble. Itâs also good to have kitchen scales, a pen and paper, and permanent markers if you want to record births and keep an eye on each kittenâs progress. Keeping weight records is a good way of knowing whether or not each kitten is thriving.Active LaborAs your cat pushes, you will see a bubble of fluid start to come out. If she continues to push without delivering the sac! and kitten, you can pinch the sac, release the pressure, and the kitten should emerge quickly. Never pull at the sac! If you have a kitten that is out of the sac and halfway out of mom, you can hold him gently with a hand towel, wait until the next contraction, and give a gentle tug. If you pull too hard, you can seriously harm both mother and kitten.Ads by GoogleHealthy Cat FoodTake the True BLUE Test. See How Your Brand Compares.

At this point, you can reach in, tear the sac from the kittenâs face, and then rub his face with a towel to clear it off. The kitten should start breathing. If not, you will have to clamp the cord with hemostats (if the placenta hasnât passed, the kitten will still be attached to mom), cut with du! ll scissors between the placenta and the hemostats, hold the kitten bet! ween the towel, dry him, and rub vigorously until he starts to breathe. Once he takes a breath, give him to his mommy to nurse.If the kitten sounds like heâs breathing fluid, you can hold him in the towel head down, and swing him downward and then upward and then downward and upward. This should clear way mucus. This doesnât have to be a wild, crazy swing, just firm. You donât want to sling a kitten across the floor.When to Call the VetIf your cat has pushed hard for an hour and not produced the first kitten If your cat has pushed hard for 20 mins without producing subsequent kittens More than 10 minutes of pushing with a kitten halfway out If your cat ceases labor for more than 2 hours but you can still see kittens inside If your cat becomes fatigued and seems unwilling to continue If you see bright red, fresh blood...answers 5:Oh yeah.answers 6:yes she is. also her stomach should start getting wider.
