Pregnant cat help please ./?

My cat is pregnant and could have the kittens any day now? One of her nipples is a bit more red and has a little bit of dried up blood around it? It is not more swollen then the rest just really red? She does not seemed irritated by it I'm just curious just in case it could be bad?

    Most likely she was just cleaning it a bit too much causing the redness and bleeding. If there is no swelling, she's behaving normally (eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, her usual attitude) it is most likely ok. Keep an eye on it and her overall behavior. If you are concerned about your cat's health, a quick trip to the vet will give you more answers and is worth the cost. Even if it turns out to be nothing, the peace of mind is worth it.

    I just think it's pressure and stress on that certain nipple. If it continues like this for more than 3 days, it might be infected.

    Get it checked out by a vet. It could be possible her nipples can't produce milk
