I'm going to ask a Mod to move this to the pregnant cat forum.  Labor can be induced in a cat, but i don't know if it's time to do that. But it's concerning.

Did the vet know how far she was last Sunday? If it goes more than another day or two I would at least phone them and ask what to do. How many litters has she had already? Do you know if any of them went longer than usual?

70 days would be about 4 days overdue.....

How is it going,  @Wintertiger7    ?

As a rule of thumb, cats seems to manage a little too long pregs better than humans.  But too short pregnancies the kittens manages badly, again in difference to humans.

Is your mom a siamese?  How purebred?  Some says siameses tends to have longer pregnancies then most others -  I dont dare to say too much, Ihave heard both opinions by reliable people.

Also, it depends on the lineage.  Some maternal lineage tend to be late, some may be early.

But your mom had earlier litters?  And the pregnancies were shorter, the more normal 65 days??  

If so, and if you are sure on the mating datum, I think this is alarming.

Contact your vet as advised above, if you hasnt done it earlier.   That is the least to do.

She is the vets paying patient, so it isnt no big deal to phone and ask.   Be also prepared to rush her in.

Good luck!
