Default Cat pregnancy worries

Hi there,

You might want to talk to a vet about this. Moving her and the kittens
when they are young will be upsetting to her, but I don't know how the
mother would react. I would at all possible try to keep the family in
the same place until they are older. That could put the burden on you
(but having kittens around can be a lot of fun as well as work...)

Ive been given this 10 month old cat from a friend to babysit for 2
months. She told me there was a chance she waz pregnant and just
recently she's been starting to show so im pretty sure she is. Ive
calculated the cat is due to give birth around the same time the owner
is ready to take her home. Im just worried that a change in environment
so close to (or even after) giving birth might cause the cat to stress
and reject her kittens. If that is a possibility what would be the best
thing to do. I also have worries about her haveing kittens so young,
shez only a kitten herself compared to my two cats.
