Normally at about 7 weeks gestation. But it depends on many things. If she is only carrying one or two you might not never feel them moving at all. If she is having a big litter like 8 or 9 and they are packed in tight, you might feel them moving earlier

Thanks so much.  My first time at watching for babies. Any advice would be very helpful.

Lets take it the other way around - you usually begint to feel them move about 2 weeks before delivery.

Some links to begin and read on:

http://www.icatcare.org/advice/my-cat-having-kittens    ( This is a link to a group of articles on cat pregnancy, birth and kittens.   Read the ones on normal cat birth and on " when to wait and when to worry"  )

Please, dont hesitate to ask any questions.  we shall try to answer.   :)

Good luck!

A veterinarian or experienced breeder can palpate kittens at about 3-4 weeks pregnant.  You start feeling them moving around etc about 7 weeks or so.
