I've read some cats go to 72 days. If you know the exact date then I'd give her another day or two, provided she's not acting abnormal.

If you feel that there may be a problem, you should call your vet and perhaps ask for an x-ray or ultrasound.

Thank you we have an appointment for Friday first thing in the morning if she doesn't have them by then . She's kinda weird as it is an her personality always changing so hard to tell . Today since I woke up she's been more active but yet. Curios active and doesn't want to be around anyone but me . Could this be signs of labor

The mating dates help! Your cat is exactly 9 weeks pregnant, which is 63 days.

Most cats deliver around days 65-68, so your cat has a few more days to go.

A vet check is okay, but it's best to let Mother Nature run her course.

Pauses are common.  They may be hours, they may even be days.  Is the first kitten OK?  Does she nurse it? 

If she is OK, no visible problems, be vigilant, but you can wait and see.

What you must look out with, is a long fruitless labor - or other visible problems.

Cats active labor is typically shorter than with humans, so longer active labor with pushings longer than 30 minutes is alarming.

Prelabor may take time, but not active labor - be prepared to rush to the vet, if she had a long fruitless labor or even had active labor and seems to get tired...

It may be tricky to recognize what is a normal pause in labor and what is she got tired laboring...   The first is OK, the other is immediate alarm...

Sorry for the rant.  Be prepared for everything, but in this moment it sounds normal and OK - the only question is how is the kitten doing.

the mothercake will prob come out when she pushes for next kitten.

The first kittens to eat. This is very important. If the baby is unable to latch, you need to hand feed the kitten using Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) or Goat's Milk if it is available (no cow's milk).
Use a dropper or syringe to feed the kitten. Just feed one drop at a time into the kitten's cheek (not down the throat.) The kitten should be belly down when feeding.

The mom may have eaten the placenta. Did she chew the cord to free the kitten?

By now, has the kitten latched and nursed?

Has mom had more kittens?
