Really need help & advice pregnant cat?!!?

Question

Sorry its long!


My boyfriend came back last night, with a cat her name is "Splodge" i was gobsmacked, cause we already have 2 cats, a dog, fish, birds,beardies,hamsters!

so we have quite a handful!

anyway this cat my boyfriend bought back, he got of this lad he knows his dads very ill, and he admitted to my boyfriend he was just going to let these 2 cats male and female out so they will be strays!

Well the female my boyfriend bought back is pregnant!
i dont think the lad and dad really know when she is due, my boyfriend went back round there today the place is a right state! and the male is no longer there so i guess they did just let him out! 

They said she is due to have her kittens any day now,
and this lad who knows these people said well i would say shes due in about a week!

We have only had her since last night, and i found the whole situation heart breaking and messed my head up cause i didnt know wherever today to just take her to a cat shelter, But we have decided to keep her, and let her have the kittens here, then re home them, and then think about taking her to a cat shelter, or keep her if she gets on with our other 2 cats im just not sure what i want to do?! my head feels like its in a mess!

all of last night and most of today shes just stayed in our bedroom and the bathroom where she slept last night, with a litter tray, food, water, basket and a box just incase she was to give birth.

well tonight, she has been exploring all the other rooms in the flat.
shes very alert trying to run upto the birds, the dog sniffed her earlier and got hit round the face by her.

Shes been hissing and growling at my cat dodger, who is a male he dont do anything back just looks at her and rolls round on the floor sometimes.

And my other cat Felix was coming into the room, and it looked like she was going to chase Felix out the room, and Felix got growled and hissed at!


Is this Nasty behavourior obviously because shes pregnant, and shes trying to protect her & the unborn kittens.
i just need some help and advice on what to do i know if it wasnt for us taking her in she would be giving birth on the street!
we dont know how old she is but at a guess maybe 1/2 years old.

i would like some advice on what we should do ?!
and help on when shes going to go into labor and gives birth to these kittens!

Any help would be really grateful!

ok keep her in the bath room with what you had in there till the kittens are born but after that just let her do what she does when the kittens are a week old you can hold them for short time 10 minutes to the max and make shure your other pets can't get in. after a few days after the kittens are born let her out some times so she a have a brake if she ignores the kittens go to a pe tstore and get a boddle and some powderd kitten milk feed them just alittle and slowly and feed them every to hours and she might need your help giveing birth so just help her clean them with towles thats all you really can do
good luck

Keeping the other cats away from the pregnant female until she give birth, and until she is ready to show her kits, is vital. Cats can delay birth, but this is not good for them. 
She behaves as if she is now due, or past due for birth, right now. A soft dark, secluded place is the best. Do not go barging in there!
Plenty of WATER please. NOT MILK. 
Cats are equipped to feed only six kitts at one time, and even so, you may loose some live born kits due to starvation. 
Remove the dead kits immediately you see one. Dispose of them in by digging a deep hole, and covering well. This is essential. 
Remember cats are not humans! But these look like your babies.

When my friends cat had kittens, she simply put some old towels and blanket on the floor in the garage. You need to keep it semi dark and pretty quiet, little children tend to be an issue. 
Afterward, the mother will/should begin licking them. but you should gently wipe around the kittens face and body.
Its sad to think, about but only a few will survive.

Hope this helps

Take the cat to the vet and feature a gravid spay completed. There isn't any excuse what so ever to allow the cat to have kittens and danger her lifestyles. Enormous amounts of kittens are killed each and every month at shelters, permitting the ones kittens to be born system you'll be able to be stealing homes from the ones kittens that located desire residences. Giving them to 'quality homes' system you are going to be giving them to folks in an effort to latter sell off the kittens.
