I have a 11 month old cat who is 57 days into pregnancy. She is grooming herself quite a lot and licking down below very frequently. She doesn't seem to be eating as much as usual and the kittens are moving round in her stomach a lot. I was just wondering how early she could have the kittens and what the fist signs on labour are. She's not very big in size as shes only young herself, so whats the average amount of kittens for a small cat?

Normal Gestation is 66 days, a quote below from http://pets.webmd.com/cats/cat-pregnancy-gestation will give you the range of gestation. This wold be a good time to have her get a final vet visit before she goes into labor.
Gestation is the period from conception to birth. From the first day of a successful mating, it averages 65 days. Kittens born from day 63 to day 69 fall within the normal range. Siamese cats may carry their kittens 71 days. However, if the kittens are born before day 60, they usually will be too immature to survive.
