Although I have 3 cats,1 persian,1 exotic and a moggy they have all been altered so I have never had kittens born.
My friend took on a cat that the owner had to part with due to landlord problems.The old owner said the queen was possibly in kitten as she had been to the tom 3 weeks before hand.
From the date she had been to the tom 63 days was up yesterday and she isnt looking any closer to going into labour.
she isnt eating as much as normal but is fine in herself.
We where told cats are the same as dogs 63 days but we hve read on a website today that cats can be anywhere between 63 and 70 days is this right?

Thanks
I am chatting to her on msn now and still no signs although she has twice had to vacate the cat out of the bedrooms so maybe she has decided the box she has been going into isnt as comfy as the beds

Good luck and she sounds like a lady with taste-i'd go for the bed too

Ok need some advice on this again.
She is still showing no signs of going into labour and from what i have been told she is acting normal.
My friend has phoned the original owner to check dates and has now been told that she was living with the tom when she became pregnant
The due date she gave her was going on the first day they saw the tom mount her (6th April).
Now even I, who knows nothing at all about cat breeding knows that just because a Tom mounts a queen does not mean that they actualy mated.
So can anyone tell us how long after that day she could have been mated? before they have a nervous break down with the worry

Just had a Call and she has just started straining so fingers crossed everything will be ok with this little girl

1 kitten born and number 2 on its way I do like msn for up todate info

It is 63-65 days normally but my last two litters were born on day 67. They tend to be late rather than bang on time
