Is she close? first time mommy

Is my cat even close to birthing? She's not going to the Bathroom but laying I. The litter box instead and being very loving. She's eating a little here and there and drinking her water...but not going to the Bathroom. She looked preggo when I left in Feb, this was My family's cat they found her. She got out and now u can tell she's pregnant. I'm not sure when she'll give birth tho anyone w tips let me know. Thanks

If she looked pregnant in February there would be kittens by now!  Lolas babies arrived 11th May which put her date of conception around 7th March, we only noticed a little weight gain and the popped out nipples towards end of March.  Few days before birth she was never out of the litter box just scratching around like mad!    

She had been messing w my sister in law's cat haha so i guess he must have got her after i left in mid feb. she was in heat when i left, infact also when i came back in mid april...forgive me i lost track of time. she loved my sil's cat but would fight him. then she got out for about 2 weeks and came bck and this is what she looks like today. we managed to get her inside and into a warm room and now she wont leave either her litter box or the bottom shelf. shes laying around alot. probably not anywhere near yet? im so sorry please if u have sites i can go to to learn thatd be great. i dunno who got her preggers but she is i can feel her belly theres kittens in there but its very soft. i heard their bellies get harder the further they are? please help me educate myself, they found her as a stray last year and they dont want her and im NOT letting her go to a kill shelter.

my son did say that izzy (her) and mo(my sil's cat) were gettin it a few weeks or so after i left but i came back and this is it lol

Ive never had a pregnant cat and shes still a kitten as u can tell i dont know how to tell how far along she is

This is her now.

I wonder if you WANTED a litter full of kittens?  If not, the best soluton for all is to spay and neuter.

both her and this male tom of your relatives...

How Do I Know When My Cat Will Give Birth?

Premature Kittens

She was my son's cat whom they found as a stray. She got out about 10 days ago but was showing signs of heat off and on for awhile.She was throwing up here and there, being very affectionate, would meow at the stairs for the tom and my sis in law would let them play together, which well that turned into feline sex. I'm pretty sure it's his because she was not let out until she darted out the door about 10 days ago like i said, forgive me my memory is a bit fuzzy about it. She's been trying to come home but is skittish from being a stray but shes a very lovable kitten. Shes still just a tiny thing herself. I'm getting her spayed after she weans the kittens, i contacted a spay/neuter lady in NJ who told me to keep in touch with her. I"ve been doing some research so thank u I truly appreciate it. I've felt and seen the kittens move, shes sleeping alot not really eating, just a tiny bite here or there and not going to the bathroom. I'm unsure what that means or how much time i have to prepare...right now im keeping a close eye on her and we're in the downstairs bathroom, tile floor, warm not too hot not too cold. shes been sleeping in her litter box but like i said hasnt gone to the bathroom yet...so i am unsure what that means.

Hahaha, Thank you she's my beautiful little babygirl. I took to her when I came to visit in November last year and since my family doesnt want her and my son is very rough with her, and I dont want her in a kill shelter, I'll take her and then rehome the kittens after theyre weaned, and spay mommy. I'm not sure how old is, She is so tiny so i'm not sure. I couldn't even guess. I want to contact a vet here in town but I have no money for that til payday for that. But after that i need to have her looked at, as she was a stray and got back out. She had fleas when she came back last night and I was told not to use a treatment so we used Dawn dish soap and theyre gone. I have dry food out for her to eat as needed as well as fresh water, but she's barely touching it. What does the not using the litter box usually mean in a pregnant queen?

**UPDATE** After speaking with my sister in law, she was gone for 3 weeks. As she jogged my poor memory, its correct. She must be about 2 or 3 weeks by now and must have mated right away, and had run off because she WAS in heat those last few days...the front door was open, no screen door, and she darted out without anyone noticing until later (Very hectic household, lots of people). She is comfortably resting in her litter pan like she has been, and I just wanted to know if it was safe to move her to a new home on May 30th? I'm moving out of here into my own apartment and I am taking her with me, plus her kittens when she has them, they will be rehomed appropriately. (Ive read the suggested guidelines) She is getting spayed after kittens are weaned. I know we've got about a month give or take more or less she's only about 4 or 5 months old...

She is in labor now. 2 out and alive and suckled and one now resting. Queenie (izzy) is resting and I am takin a break...my niece is in there.to assist her if needed to get the third one out...it was fast with the first two and now she's tired. Pix to come. Any suggestions on newborn kitten care and new mommy kitty care are welcome and greatly appreciated
