Is it normal for a pregnant cat to act distant and uncomfortable?

Question

My cat Luna is pregnant. Her due date is 24th July. I think she might have up to 5 kittens. She's been acting very distant lately. She's usually super friendly and loving. Do you think she's distant because she's uncomfortable? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 months and 29 days old

Hi there. Luna is probably preparing for motherhood. All sorts of hormonal changes are going on in her body at this time, and can cause her to behave differently. Pregnancy can also be very uncomfortable, as you've said. The best thing you can do is pet her and reassure her you are still there and her friend. Congrats on your kittens!
