How long is too long to be pregnant?

Good morning. I've been reading your posts for a week now. You guys are amazing! I'm new here and hope someone can help me. I adopted a stray (well, she adopted me) in June. She was brought to the vet on June 4 because I thought she was pregnant and they said no. She was brought in the house for good on June 7. She was brought back to the vet on June 18 to get fixed and they called to say they couldn't do it because she was indeed pregnant. So, with her not going outside since June 7, she must have gotten pregnant right around that date so 9 weeks was last Saturday, June 9. She still has not had the kittens yet but is getting bigger. I'm not feeling any movement (which I read here that I should be). I'm very worried. How long overdue can a cat be? She's 1 1/2 yrs old (according to the vet) and very small. I think this is her first litter. Also, I have five other cats (2 males - one 9 yrs and one 2 yrs, and 3 females - all 2 yrs). Is it dangerous for her to have the kittens with them roaming around? I can't stay home from work forever with no birthing in sight... Can anyone give me some advice???
