Okay so about ten minutes ago Zoey got up from my bed and started sniffing the sheet where she had been laying and then sat with her mouth open. So I got up to look and I noticed a little wet spot but in didn't really smell like urine. Then I looked more and I saw two more little spots that looked kind of blood tinged or orange tinged. Was that her mucus plug? I am getting nervous she is due any day now.......I appreciate any input.

Did she lose her mucus plug?

By your description, I suspect you will be having kittens soon. Panting is a sign of impending labor, as is the spotting!
Good luck and here's to smooth healthy deliveries!

Well she more sort of smelled it and sat with her mouth open for a few seconds. Also, it didn't seem mucousy. But I didn't really want to touch it. So I guess my question is, "What is it supposed to look like?"
A cat doesnt pant like a dog, their tongue doesnt hang out of their mouth. Their mouth hangs open with a heavier rythmic breathing pattern.
On average, a cat will have her kittens within a day of losing her plug. But sometimes there is spotting up to a week before.
Good luck! I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. Cant wait to hear about healthy kitten arrivals!
Cats do not always Pant either. I have seen Kittens born before and the Mom didnt Pant at all. Sounds like she is close though.
I don't know if this is what it's supposed to look like, but Ms Friskers' mucus plug pretty much looked exactly like the name would suggest: like a large, kind of bloody, nasty, booger. Honestly, it was pretty gross, and it would be hard to miss. (I accidentally ended up with it on my fingers, so I may be overestimating the grossness.)
she sounds close
