You know the week she mated? It sounds like you have a pretty good idea about when she will give birth. Unless you mated her intentionally you wont know the exact day she will give birth.

Not even if you know the exact mating day you can know the exact birthing day.   Although you will know rougly the week.    "The waiting game" is not for nothing the favorite game on this Forum. Not.

I paste in some links who are perhaps useful.

Good luck!

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.
