Question
hi we found a pregnant cat in our garden the begging of last week she is very pregnant her teats are big pink and the fur around has gone last night there was loads of movement she is laying down and sleeping loads we do have a appointment at the vets thursday but i was just wondering how close she could be thanks

Answer
Hi
it is difficult to say but it does sound like she could be very close.
Don't worry mother nature will take control and cats are usually very good at giving birth and so if she does start before Thursday, just let her get on with it.

i have provided a link to my web page about cat pregnancy and kitten care for your information.

best wishes Kate
