It can be different for all cats, some can show symptoms before labor while others show none at all. During my cat's pregnancy I had many times where I though 'This is it!!!!!' and then she wouldn't have them. She just delivered two days ago. Some signs to look for is water breaking, her behind being wet. Her licking her privates a lot.

Have you made her a nesting area? If not try making a box lines with sheets or towels in some place secluded and dark in your house where she will feel safe to deliver.

If you don't know when she conceived, it's basically impossible to tell exactly when she will have them until she does. And even when you do know the conception day it's STILL not exact. Good luck!

Also i'd recommend reading some of the different threads that have been posted on here. A lot of us played the waiting game and you can gain a lot of insight from reading other's experiences!

Go to vet. They will tell you if she is pregnant. And then get her spayed if its not too late.

A cat pregnancy is usually around 65 days. So if you think she has been pregnant for two months she could have the kittens any time. But don't panic - most mother cats do just fine. If you do have a vet that you know, call them and let them know, in case you do need some help with her or the kittens. And it is a very good idea to get the mother spayed so that she does not give birth to even more kittens - your vet will tell you when they will do it after the birth. Good luck.

have you seen him latching on to mummy? maybe he not getting enough milk if the stronger kittens are fighting with him for a nipple and they winning he might not be getting enough milk.

Weigh them every day on a digital gram scale and keep track of the weight. The kittens should gain 10-20 grams a day. If one is not gaining, then he could be the runt and being pushed away by the stronger babes, or that momma isn't producing enough milk. If that's the case then you will need to start supplementing. Kitten Replacement Milk is the best, you can buy it at Walmart or most pet stores along with little bottles to feed them. You want to put the bottle in the side of their cheek and make sure they're getting a small amount, they can inhale the milk into their lungs if they're not being fed properly.

That's what I feed my nursing momma and she's producing milk massively, maybe someone else will have a better suggestion for you. Sometimes mom's just don't produce enough, even with the proper food and care. That's when you have to start supplementing. I hope the babies are doing okay!!

Feed as much as she wants, but if the kitten is weak it will struggle to nurse, or there might be a problem with the kitten and sadly nature will take it's course.

Fleas.  Oh dear.  Mum will have them as well and when you are seeing fleas it's like the tip of the iceberg.  Worms are quite likely as well.

Call your vet, ask him or her how to treat mum for both.  Change bedding and either throw the old stuff away or wash it hot.  That kills the hundreds of eggs and the larvae that are probably in it.  Dunno what it's like in Lebanon but in the Uk there are lots of products which are ineffective and/or unsafe sold in pet shops, the same I believe in the UK - most of the safe effective products come from the vet.

BTW suggest you put which country you live in on your profile.  Many posters here think everyone lives in the US and base their advice on what happens in their town in the US.

I've read that you water down some honey or syrup and rub it on their gums to give them an extra kick of energy when they're going down hill to start feeding again. You want to make sure the kitten has all 4 paws on the ground when you're attempting to feed- and not on its back or it can inhale some of the fluid. When they're extra young, sometimes they have a hard time with the bottles. Try putting the nipple in the side of the babes cheek and squeezing a tiny drop in his cheek, then allowing him to swallow [so he doesnt inhale] and then continue this. Also you'll want to stimulate for ghim going to the bathroom before and after feeding by rubbing them with a warm wet wash cloth. Also make sure you're keeping the kitten warm and cozy the entire time during feeding, etc.

Good luck, I hope you can help him. Although sometimes the weaker link just can't survive :(
