Question
My cat is pregnant and just today she had some bloody mucous coming out of her.  Does this mean she will have the kittens soon?

Answer
Hello,
By the time you read this, your cat may have finished her birthing.  Usually the mucous loss preceeds the actual birth.  If your cat is not very young, she should be able to accomplish everything on her own.  It can sometimes take hours for them to finish up.  Be sure she is comfortable and is in a safe and quiet place.  Good luck@
Thank you
