Why is my pregnant cat meowing with blood and mucus? Is she in labor?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 7 years and 1 month old

Hello! My cat is pregnant, but we're not sure when the delivery is due. Today she behaved weirdly, she meows the 'whole' time and there is blood and mucus coming out of her vagina. It only started today. My question is if this is a sign that she will deliver soon?

It can be. The gestation period is 62-63 days. Be sure to let her have her space but try not to let her go to a place that you can't help monitor the kittens after they are born like under a porch or house. if you bother her too much, they can actually delay the labor process. I hope this helps!
