Question pregnant cat need info?

i wrote 2 days ago about my pregnant cat, i dont no the date she got caught, but i have been feeling her kittens moving for 3 weeks now. she will lie anywere and willnot walk very far then will just lie down, yesterday her kittens were very active but today i cant feel them moving, what are the signs off her going into labour? because i have put her a box in a dark room with some paper and a blanket in but she wont go in there she would rather lie by the fire next to me, this is my first time breeding cats so i could do with some information please?the information the better thank you...
she is a pure black domestic cat.. the tom i breed her with is black and white but the week after we breed them he got killed outside by a car...

I recommend you get her into the vet. if the kittens have stopped moving they could be dead. If they are dead they will set up an infection inside her which could kill her.

I have read that when mum is close to giving birth that the kits stop moving but that there is no need to panic.

Im not an expert at all hun - I am only a new breeder myself and am doing a lot of research and reading!
One of the other more experienced breeders will be able to help. They should be online soon. Savannah Kitten or Siamese Kelly give good advice!
