She's rolling and stretching alot. We have set up a box for her to have the kittens in because she was a stray cat and she wont come in the house. Jasper doesnt have any hair around her nips anymore and they are pretty big. She is also eating less but its still alot and you can see the kittens are kicking alot. Can someone give me an estimated guess on how much longer its gunna be till she has them?

It's hard to say, it's different with every cat... But it'd seem she was getting near the big day... Like my cat, Bella, she cleared up her nipples like 2 weeks before anything happend... Maybe try to gently feel if any are getting lower down? To see if they're getting ready to head for the birth canal... Also, please bring her inside... It will be dangerous for her and her babies once they arrive if they are outside. And best of luck to Jasper :)

It sounds like Jasper, is semi-feral.  The problem is that the kittens will be completely feral if not exposed to human contact.  This would be a situation where you would have to disregard Jasper's wishes and livetrap her and bring her in.  Hopefully you have a spare room that she can stay in where it is quiet.  This way you can socialize the kittens/adopt them out and get her spayed and vaccinated.  After that, if she is still semi-feral, you can let her go and at least this way she will be having no more kittens.

I agree with advices above. That is the best.

dont worry, at first she may be a little upset etc, but when she cools down and understands nobody is threating her and everything is fine, she will be OK with the situation. Especielly as she already does know you, and know you are essentially friendly.

You can perhaps even wrap her up in a towel like burrito?  I mean, you perhaps dont even need a trap.

The only you shouldnt do is to chase her and wrestle her down... THIS is stressful for her, and prob harmful for you...

Good luck!
