My cat has been pregnant for 9 weeks on the 6th (which is tomorrow) and I read that cats are pregnant 9-10 weeks. I know  how long because that's the last time she was outside. My cat, Charlotte, is usually an inside cat but she sneaks out sometimes. This last time she was in heat. I took her temperature just a few minutes ago and it said 99.5 F. Could she be giving birth soon? She was eating treats just a bit ago and I heard that cats about to give birth don't eat food.

Sorry, its a waiting game full of guesses.

Rereading some of the threads, I even see myself agree: oh yea, this is surely near, in the next 24 hours at most.    And later on I see the kittens vere delivered a whole week after that....

Any way, from this we see cats usually manage a little too late deliveries OK, better than humans.

While premature deliveries are dangerous for the kittens, unlike humans...

Good luck!
