Well guys, there is a stray cat that decided to make its home at my house. Low and behold, the ole girl is pregers. Now, I am trying to determine how far along she is. Her teets are starting to protrude and become more defined. Her belly is pretty big, and she has a hefty appetite, which I guess is to be expected. I'm not very familiar with cat's gestation period, so I was hoping for a little guidance. 

Here's a picture of her.

How long along is not easy even for the owners, if they dont know when she got mated.

A reasonably safe point for measure is, you can usually feel them kittens move at about two weeks before delivery.  If you are skilled with palpation you can feel them somewhat earlier.

I understand you are willing to help her and her kittens, perhaps even adopt her?  Swell!

Here are some links:
