Hey everybody!
 My kitty cat got out about 2 months ago. She got out January 31st and didn't return until February 3rd. When she returned she was pregnant. 
 We don't know the exact day that she got pregnant. We do know that she is least 63 days to 65 days pregnant. Her stomach is huge and I know she can't have much time left considering how big she is and how long she has been pregnant but she isn't showing many signs of labor. She just began nesting today and she doesn't have milk excretion although I can feel that her nipples have pouches of milk around them. Her temperature has dropped today to 98.8 degrees fahrenheit and the kittens are moving into the birthing position but i haven't seen any contractions. She has been very sleepy and affectionate but I still feel like she isn't quite ready to give them up 
 I already have an appointment with my vet to get her fixed after the kittens are weaned. What do yall think?

We can't tell you when she will have them, she probably will have them soon but it a waiting game, a waiting game that we all hate to play, if she dont have them by friday or saturday i suggest taking her to a vet, if you are right how many days she is, she will be 70 days by then

Its a waitning game yes, but I think its near. Perhaps just  hours.   Because she is doing several indicies, including the drop in the temp, and the kittens has gone into birthing positions.

Also, they often take to their nest very late...

Im sending our links to be on the safe side.

Good luck!
