Answer 1

63 days or 9 weeks
Do you realize that for every 1 person born, there are 7 puppies and kittens
born? At best, 1 will find a forever home.
And don't forget, that every "Free-to-good-home" litter takes homes away
from animals already at the shelter.

STOP letting your pets; or your friends, relatives or co-workers pets
contribute to the problem.
If you love animals, it is NOT ENOUGH to merely say "My pets are fixed".
Vow to educate and enable others to fix their pets too.
Spaying just 1 female dog or cat, will prevent 6 others from ending up in a
shelter the following year.
Please be part of the solution, NOT the problem!
Thank you. ^..^

Answer 2

During the first couple of weeks of a cat's pregnancy, she will look and behave normally. It takes three weeks before cat pregnancy signs become visible...
1. In 3 weeks her nipples will become pink. This is most visible if it's the first time the queen is pregnant. From that moment it will take six weeks before the kittens arrive.
2. A pregnant cat will sleep more and will not be interested in male cats.
3. Heat cycles stop and the cat becomes more loving. If your cat is used to walk outside, she will voluntarily spend more time at home during feline gestation.
4. During pregnancy a cat will gain weight. But it lasts until the fifth week before this becomes visible.
5. After six weeks her nipples will also grow considerably. From then on they are filled with milk.
6. Your cat will want to eat more and more. This is good. Give her enough (her regular food mixed with kitten food), but don't overfeed her. A few days before birth, her appetite will decrease again.

Answer 3

Gestation in cats is 61-69 days, dependant on the breed. 63-65 days for moggies. Cats are 'spontaneous ovulators' - they do not need to be in heat to conceive. The male cat's penis has tiny spikes on it which stimulate ovulation in the female - being in heat simply means she will happily accept a male. Here is a link full of information to help you prepare yourself for the birth:

This is the third time today I have provided this information for people whose cats are pregnant. I seriously believe you should not take on this responsibility until you are fully researched in how to deal with it. Please get your cat spayed once the kittens are weaned, to prevent her having to go through this again.

Answer 4

If this just happened recently (in the last week or two) take her to a vet and get her spayed. Unfortunately, this will be better than having yet another unwanted litter of kittens. You won't see that she is pregnant until the last few weeks before she gives birth.

Answer 5

Gestation period is 2 months when she delivers or a couple weeks before put a blanket in a big enough box in a closet Please get her spayed
