When will my pregnant cat give birth after her nipples turn pink?

Yes, it is likely she is pregnant. The gestation time for cats is 58 days. Most cats have kittens without problems and nurse and raise them fine. Once she is done nursing you should have her spayed as she could get pregnant again right away. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Daisy.

She does look quite full! She should be pregnant for 64 days and will start making milk after the kittens come. The only way to know for sure how many kittens are in there would be an x-ray at the vet. Good luck with the the babies!!

Gestation is about 63-65 days, so you should be seeing signs of labor soon. If your timing is right, it should be any day now. You may be slightly off on your timing and maybe she has been pregnant for less time than you think? Look for signs of labor such as nesting behavior, vocalization, being more affectionate, licking the vulva and a change in appetite. Cats do not always give clear signs of labor like dogs so it can be tricky sometimes to notice when a cat is in labor. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Gestation period is 63 days for cats, so you can probably wait it out. Cats do not usually need help giving birth, just make sure she has a spot that she likes and where she can have her kittens. If you really need to know whether Lainie is pregnant, you should take her to your veterinarian for a pregnancy exam (x-rays or ultrasound, or even palpation). She may let the vet check her.

Unfortunately not. If you are sure about the days, I think it would be best to have her checked at your local veterinarian to see if the kittens are all vital and make sure there is no significant obstruction of the pelvic canal (by one of the puppies). Unfortunately there is not much you can effectively do back home to help. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further. Please find the time to give us a feedback about the consultation as that will be used to improve our service.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Khloe has been in heat and goes outdoors unobserved or lives with an intact male cat then she could be pregnant. I can’t tell by the picture because the nipples look relatively normal to me. Hormones can make them pinker and longer. Normal pregnancy lengths in cats is 60-63 days. I hope this helps!

In the 24-48 hours prior to giving birth, the cat appear appear anxious and restless. She will start to show nesting behavior, looking for a quiet place to give birth. She will lick her abdomen and vagina persistently, and you may see a discharge. She will lose all interest in food. You may see an increase in her breathing rate, and as labor continues, she will lay on her side and intermittently squat and press downwards to give birth to her kittens.
