Ok. About 4 months ago a stray showed up at my house, we have 2 male cats but one of them is neutered (since we got one from the pet store and one just showed up). Recently I have noticed that Cece has been getting fatter, and about a week and 1/2 ago I started feeling the kittens moving around in her stomach. I was excited! But at the same time I don't know how much longer it could be. Can someone help me? Here's a picture of her and I didn't know if this will or will not help tell how far along she is but here is how she looks so far

Also if there is anyone who could help with this, I would like to have an idea of what the kittens might look like! Here's the 'dad' cat

Once you feel the kittens moving there are usually 2-3 weeks left.

Do you plan to spay the mom after this litter? And the male cat can be neutered now too.

We have lots of informative articles on pregnant cats and kitten care that you might want to read.

So obviously i haven't been paying good attention to leaking, since I didn't know about it, and well she, in fact, has been leaking. Pretty recently, too! I just lifted her tail up a bit to see if she has. Does that affect about how long until kittens, or is it just another sign she is for sure pregnant?

The dad is really cute.  Neutering soon is a good idea.

Here are some articles that will help you prepare for the new kittens.  There are more at the top of this forum.

FYI Once neutered he can still impregnate for 2 or 3 weeks.   Those little devils are in the tube and still fertile for a while.

Is it normal for her to only eat and sleep? She got up some today but only for a few minutes this morning. Other than that I fed her some food and she just keeps sleeping. She hasn't eaten (that I know of) in the past hour or two, all she's been doing is sleeping in the exact same spot! She keeps switching positions from being curled up to rolling over on her back and curled up with her head toward the right to turning around where her head face the left:

Like this:




To this:



Should I try to get her up and moving or just leave her be? Every time I try to get her up she just changes positions and goes back to sleep!! I do not know if I should just leave her alone or get her up?

Our cat just had kittens my best advice is leave her alone I know it's hard because you are excited but our cat really needed privacy and a hiding spot for the babys
