She looks fine. She may be having only one or two kittens. Is she eating much?

She was already a small cat but she's eating a lot and pounding back kitten food can after can. Haha

About 4 kittens? She'll continue to get bigger each week, she still has some time. My cat is petite and had 4 small kittens, her belly was small so we only expected 2.

I've noticed her milk has been coming in for a little now, but noticed that today she basically has utters on her, top to bottom on her belly. Before it was like feeling a little extra fat, but now a good thick, bumpy layer of milk! Also, her nipples have been "flaky" and crusty, but the top two nipples by her armpits have white discharge. She's about 56 days, give or take a day, was in heat April 22-26, the main days were the 23-24.

How much time does she have left? What day would be the earliest she can possibly give birth and the kittens be able to survive and healthy?

That was her last night, she's obviously constantly sleeping and eating her food still.

How many more days do you think until she will pop?

The average cat pregnancy is about 65 days. I'd say she's got 7-10 days left. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Gahhh. I want the babies to come now. Haha. I'm so excited and anxiously waiting their arrival and want to know as soon as possible so I can call off of work. I wish pregnancies were planned and on for sure days... haha.

You'll know when she goes into labor! You'll likely have time to call off work. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Ino's temperatures have been right around 99.7, 100.1 were the highest recorded yesterday (morning at night, both 12 hours apart), but this morning it barely got to 99.0 . Is this a sign she is going to start labor soon?

Temperature is not a reliable indicator, so it's hard to say. Other signs are actually more reliable, such as discharge and behavior. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

And even discharge can occur days ahead of time. She's only about 60 days now. It's best if she waits another 5 days or so. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Today's update: I know temperature isn't very accurate, but still dropped. She's been flicking her tail and being very restless, switching positions and staring/following me. She tries to sleep for a second and it kind of works, but mainly she has her eyes almost shut and looks watery. I can give her some belly pets and she loves it, and then other times she gets upset, cried and locks herself, or me. She's pacing between me and the birth box, sleeping (or trying to sleep) in unusual places for her. I can still see babies moving and it goes from a kitten pretty high up in the belly and another one by her hips. I called up my vet yesterday and they said she sounds like she is going to pop today (if it wasn't last night). What do you guys think?
