My cat mated some time from the 16th-18th January which would mean she would be due but there are zero signs of labour should I be worried??

my cat had her litter today while we all slept through.there was zero sign of labor.what she had been doing for a week or two was going from room to room and getting very clingy with me or my sister.hence sometimes (like in my cats case) they dnt show the usual signs of labor and just have babies one fine day!
good luck with that! :)

Tummy being lesser about one or two days before delivery is normal!  Its because the kittens go down into their birthing positions.   Give her massage / pet on her tummy, if she wants / allows it.

Unless you mean, it disappeared almost entirely, which would probably be, she deliviered them somewhere during the night, and either hide them well - or if they were stillborn, did ate  up them, so not to reveal any traces...

The manuals tells about pregnancy of 63-65 days.  I do have the distinct impression it should be 65-68 days - most of our forumites seems to wait and wait

Also, kittens tend to manage badly premature deliveries, unlike humans.

But unlike humans, they seem to manage OK somewhat prolonged pregnancy.  

So, be happy if you must wait, dont be too happy with "didnt needed to wait for so long, she had a n early delivery"

Good luck!

Congratulations that sticky patch sounds like the mucus plug coming away. This is one of the first signs of labour starting. She should give birth to the kittens anytime within the next 24 hours :D

Just a little update woke up this morning to what can only be described as Luna's plug?! Her stomach has completely changed shape and is solid!! So hopefully won't be long for her she's getting really uncomfy poor thing x
