OK, I am very experienced!!! What you have to do is get your cat into a calm room that people and other pets don't go in. Put a small box (not too small) or kid pool in the corner/closet/in a cozy spot. Put down some heating pads on LOW and put some blankets and towels on top. Make sure she has a fresh supply of water and food. She may not eat. When she is giving birth, don't have too many people in the room! (1-3) have plenty of towels including a cold, wet one to rub onto the mother's head. As the kittens are being born make sure they are out of their sac and make sure there is no flem in their lungs. Then place them directly to the mother's nipples after they are cleaned with a dry towel. Then you should be ready to go!!! After they are all born, have them with the mother in peace and check on them every once in a while! I really hope I helped and I hope your kittens come out beautiful!!!

If you can feel the kitties moving, the time is very close. My guess would be within the next two weeks. All the other answers are good about finding somewhere nice and safe for her to have them. Keep in mind that even if you make a spot, she will choose her own. She probably has a nest in mind already. (If she is an inside/outside cat dont be surprised if she tries moving them outside a few days after.) Gl and do your best!

Give her good quality food and plenty of fresh water avaiable at all times. Keep her in a calm peaceful environment and minimize any stess producing stimuli as mush as possible (other pets, kids, loud noises). Prepare a place where she can give birth. It has to be dry, warm, cosy and very private. A big cardboard box situated inside a closet works well with most momma cats. Line the box with clean old towels or blankets. Show it to her when she is nearing her time. If she "nests" then she has accepted the place.

I have had experience so listen to this. Find a good spot to put them, they like small spaces like in a closet. Then put them on a blanket and wait. When the babies come out make sure your voice is the first thing they here so they obey you later in life.

Please get your cat spayed as soon as the kittens are weaned. There is already a huge pet overpopulation problem and you have just contributed to the problem by not being a responsible pet owner and getting your cat spayed.
