Hi back and Welcome to TCS 


It's good that the kittens are so active- hopefully it means you will have healthy babies! Since both Mom and Dad carry the white gene there is a good chance you will have white kittens- either all white or mixed with color. Determining color is very difficult since there are so many variations and I'm not great with the genetics but I do know white is a dominant color and since both have the gene you have a higher likelihood of white kittens. Also know that pure white kittens are usually deaf so that's something to watch for. 

Hopefully by now you have your birthing box and birthing kit all ready to go. You can read more at: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/80724/all-about-pregnancy-labor-delivery-in-cats . Also, because Mimi is so young she is at a higher risk of having a difficult labor. I think this article does a great job of explaining what can go wrong and when you should intervene: http://www.fabcats.org/breeders/infosheets/breeding_from_your_cat/felineparturition.html

Finally, remember that Mimi can get pregnant again quickly after giving birth so it's imperative that she be kept indoors and away from any intact males until after she is spayed. Allowing her to remain intact puts her at great risk for cancer and other life threatening conditions such as pyometra. So, make sure you get her done when you get the kittens fixed! It's the best gift you could ever give her. 

Vibes for a safe delivery and happy, healthy kittens!
