Female cats start their heat at around 6 months and remain in heat until they are bred. (Hence the yowling and floor crawling they do) If you know when your cat was bred, and it took, you can probably expect kittens in around 65 days from the breeding date.

You should always take a pregnant cat to the vet, and not just to find out how long she has been pregnant. The vet needs to check her to make sure that everything is going alright during the pregnancy.

Um..in about 63-65 days from the date she was mated you'll discover her queening.
There is no way to find out about how long your cat has been pregnant unless you can ask her or the tom's she hangs out with. Cats are stimulated ovulators so they come into heat and can stay in heat for months as a time until mated.
GET YOUR CAT SPAYED!

a queen's gestation period typically runs from 57 to 69 days, with the average of 63 to 64 days.
the first distinct signs of pregnancy happen around two or three weeks after mating. If pregnant, your cat's nipples will start to "pink up" and enlarge a bit in preparation for milk. Then, at between three and four weeks of pregnancy, she may get morning sickness and vomit from time to time. From four weeks onward, the kittens will be visible on an x-ray or sonogram, and may be able to be counted.
Finally, at five weeks your cat's abdomen will start to enlarge. At roughly seven weeks, the queen may begin to lose her appetite and refuse to eat. At this point, the kittens' movement can easily be felt. At seven to eight weeks, she will spend a lot more time grooming herself and might look for a place to have her kittens. Her nipples will then also become even more swollen. They might even expel milky fluid between two to five days before birth.

If she visibly looks pregnant, it won't be too long before she has kittens. Gestation period for cats is only about 62 days. If she's really big & you can see kittens moving through the skin, then delivery is very close. Please, as soon as kittens are weaned, get mama spayed & don't let her outside until she is spayed, as she can get pregnant again & there are too many kittens - not enough homes.

If your cat is pregnant you need to go to the vet anyway...

If you don't have any idea when she got pregnant, the best way to tell is to take her to your vet. It wouldn't be a bad idea to her checked out anyway. Hope all goes well....

only way I'm sorry to say is to take to the vets for a sonogram.

If you can afford to rear a litter of kittens, you can afford to take her to the vet.
