Sounds like shes ready to go any time now. Just let nature take its course. Make sure she has a box with a blanket and keep it in an untrafficked, dark, quiet area.

Normal gestation for cats is 63-65 days. If she still hasnt had them after 65 days, I would recommend taking her to the vet for an emergency c-section. Congrats on the expecting arrival. Also make sure that she is eating kitten food, as she needs more nutrients and protein than usual. She should have kitten food until the kittens are about 8-10 weeks old. Free feed her and make sure that she has plenty of water.
She should have a private area to have them, a seperate bedroom would be great, with little to no traffic. Vet check a few days afterwards to ensure her health and the health of the kittens

The usual gestation period for a cat is approximately 65 days.
I wouldn't worry about her - if the kittens are moving and she is sleeping, all is well.
When she goes into labour she may come and get you, not that she'll need any help but because she considers you her mother, and like most females in labour, really would like her mother present.
If she goes into labour before her next vet appointment, by all means call the vet, but if all has been going well so far, there shouldn't be any problems.
Good luck to you and your feline family.

My husband and I took our 2 year old cat with us home for the holidays (11 hour drive each way, both Thanksgiving and Christmas). Everything actually went very well, but I think we also just have a really mellow cat. Some things that worked for us: -Bringing a crate and a harness/leash, so that our cat couldn't bolt out of the car when we stopped. -Bringing our cat's litter box with a small amount of litter (she never used it, but it gave us piece of mind) -We did not give our cat food or water for several hours before the trip (to prevent carsickness and trips to the litter box; although we did give our cat small amounts of water during the trip, and she never did use the litter box) -We also packed a few toys and played with our kitty during the trip; it also provided us with entertainment during the long car ride. Our vet suggested that we take short car rides with our cat first to gage their comfort in the car and did let us know that some cats do travel better with sedatives. You may want to call your vet and ask if that is an option.

I think she'll probably deliver at home, which is fine as my cat did and all four kittens are fine and developing well, there was no problem with the labour and mum is eating well and just teaching the kittens everything they need to know about life at the moment. They're four weeks all now, running around like crazy and driving mum mad...call the vet if you need more advice they're happy to give it to you over the phone.

Cats pregnancies are 8 - 9 weeks long.
It sounds like she is due very soon, the best you can do is to get a box and a couple blankets and a nice warm quiet place.
She will do the rest
Hope you have a lovely time playing with the new kittens, and in advance well done to your queen

A cats Pregnacy is exatly 2 months not nine! it sounds like your cat will give birth in the next couple days to a week, I have a cat that has 2 litters so i know what im talking about. Its good to take your cat to the vet anyway, evan after she has given birth just to make shure she is healthy.

Queens will sleep lots when they are in the second half of their pregnancy, as they are reserving their energy to give birth and feed the babies when they're born.
Provide her with a choice of safe, darkish, cosy places where she can nest ... a box, a cupboard, under the bed ... let her choose if possible.
You will know when she is going into labour as she will exhibit 'nesting' behaviour, and will probably choose one of the spots you have provided for her. She will be a little restless, and will probably be more affectionate than usual.
Good luck with the little ones!

keep her in a quiet area give her pravacy a big box with towels where she can give birth to her kittens. Make sure she doesnt get out. She could have the babies under your house or some place hard for you to get to the kittens. Congrats!

that is natural with kitty, you won't see the babies move but if you keep your hand on her belly for at least five minutes you might feel them move. yes the nipples will be reddish pink because they are full of milk and stiff, she is a baby mother so she has to sleep to get adequate rest like humans. she has to eat for her kittens.i saw the same with my cat.
