This isnt an accident, I wanted to mate my male and female tuxedo cats, but I didnt think that she was able to go into heat yet. I was planning on reading up on this, but she really ballooned over the last week and she is now hiding under the couch and hissing if anyone comes near her. Any help on the whelping of kitties would be helpful, cause I'm fairly certian that that's her issue.

All the kittens DO have arranged homes, I dont want anyone to think that I'm being a bad 'mommy'.

Is this her first litter? If so, check and see if she has nipples, they usually appear and are pink after about three weeks. If she does have nipples, the kittens will come sometime within the next six weeks. Here is a good website to check out- http://www.cat-pregnancy-report.com/.

Ha! - I'm sorry but as a person who is owned by a cat, somebody saying that her cat is "testy" really cracks me up.
If you are anticipating the "blessed event", well more power to you. But it is winter - and believe me - our little furballs can really pack on the pounds. (Do you monitor food intake - that's a good indicator).
Also - if you keep her indoors - you can not mistake the sound of cats - ahem - doing it.
I had a roommate like that once.
Good luck!

If she's six months or older it could be. Now she needs a quiet place to hide and stay warm with kitties.. Someplace really quiet in the house. She will do the rest. Try not to force her to come out.

Its not normal for her to be hiding and hissing at you, that isnt normal. It may be if she was in labor at that very time
A big belly is a sure sign of pregnancy though.
