heavily pregnant cat

It should be very soon but there is no way to know for sure when. It could be minutes or several hours  Best for now is just to keep an eye on her and wait.

Good luck!

We have a good collection of articles in the Cat Health section which you can access by scrolling up to the brown bar, clicking on Articles,and then choosing the Cat Health section and scrolling through the choices.  To make this super easy for you, I am copying the links in here.  You should probably start with "What to Prepare for the Birth" and keep reading the articles after that. Let us know if you have any more questions.  And good luck with your approaching new arrivals.

How Do I Know When My Cat Will Give Birth?

Premature Kittens

well I have been keeping my eye on Luna and still nothing. The boys are still messing with her and the water bottle is getting used. I made her a spot in the closet with some blankets but all she does is make it into a ball.

What boys?  She must be left in peace, unless these "boys" are her best friends and welcomed by her.

What water bottle do you mention?  Something to warm her up??

They usually dont use their nest before the delivery, often even firstly after the delivery.  Tey dont want the coming nest to get smelly too early.

Water usually brokes shortly before the delivery.  But I have followed cases when it took several days to the delivery, without problems.

Not the optimal, but it went well anyway...

Good luck!

I keep a water bottle on hand to squirt the boys when they try to mount her.

ah, the boys are your other, male cats?

I see.  Keep them away.  If high pregs are stressed, they  postpone the delivery...   Lock either her in her own room, or them.

so true. so far the water bottle is working. I have been trying to find the males a new home

Yes perhaps, but it is stressing her too!   If you spray in her immediate vicinity, she isnt really sure it isnt for her.

So good you DO try and it works, but best is really you separate them radically. Have her in the bathroom as you already menitoned, or something like that...

And dont let the male cats inside.    If they were her best friends cuddling and caressing, we could discuss it, but here they arent...

well Luna has officially gone into labor. more updates as she progresses

Great!  We will be checking in.  Also, put the boys out or close the door to the closet if she's staying in there for the labor as @StefanZ said because she doesn't need to be worrying about them right now.  Also, since you are trying to place them, that would be easier if they were neutered, if you have an affordable neuter clinic in your area.

two of the boys are fixed.I put Luna in the large cat crate to labor. It as been two hours since the first kitten was born and I am wondering how long she can go or how long they will survive in utero

How is it going?  Any more kittens?   Does she seems to be done?    Pauses for hours or even days are not uncommon.

If she is OK no troubles, you can wait and see, of course being watchful.

If she is in distress by any sort, or a active labor without results, contact vet asap.

I think she is done. Even tho she still appears to be big to me she has been nursing well and I have not seen any signs of more contractions
