You can never really know. Each cat behaves just a little differently. Some eat while in labor, other cats won't eat much for days. Average cat pregnacy is 65 days, but again, just an average. It's possible that she's going to begin prelabor soon, but also might just be uncomfortable and restless.

How old is your kitty? How far along is she?

She's definitely getting close then. Are you prepared for the kittens?

You should also stock up on some kitten essentials - a small scale, a needleless syringe, and powdered kmr (PetAg is best).
Can you keep mom safely inside and away from intact males until her litter is weaned?

Ah, so she's not a first time mom. Will she be spayed after this one?

She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery and without going into heat, so it's important to keep her totally in. She can be spayed when the babies are 8 weeks old.

We'd love to see photos! Keep asking questions!
And congratulations! You can go ahead and schedule her spay for 8 weeks from now.

No, that's not true. If mom trusts you it shouldn't impact her care of the kittens.
Not true, old wives tale. Do what you need to do. Gently.
