Hi my cat is 64 days pregnant, and I have no idea if She's in labor. She's sleeping all the time follows me around, but She's eating more. She's pacing and is very affectionate which she normally isnt

When my cat was pregant I wondered the same thing every day and I thought a hundre pnd times this is it! When the time came there was not doubt at all! Good luck to you I hope she has her babies sooner then later!

I agree with Kris, when her moment for labor comes, you will not have doubt.   Panting, etc...

So no, she is very high preg, but not in labor as jet.

It may take several days more!  

  You see often warnings the pregnancy shouldnt be too long.

As I have observed here with our forumists and their cats, it seems cats manage a little too long pregnancies well, much better than humans.   So dont worry!

What the kittens dont manage well is a too short pregnancies,   to be premature kitten is highly dangerous.   More than perhaps three of days too early and they cant make it.   Unlike of  humans babies where they manage even two months early without big problems (comparable with 2 weeks for cats).

Good luck!

I think its to overdo it a trifle.  Try to sleep near her, it should be more than enough.....

Unless you notice there IS a crisis sailing up, of course.

Also, if you are very excited and nervous, it makes HER nervous too...   So by foregoing with good example, and being her support, you calm her and make this here journey easier for her.
