A firm belly is normal. Was the temperature taken rectally or under the arm?

With an under arm temperature you need to add 3 degrees. If you add 3 to the reading, she was in the normal range for a cat. Temperature is also not the most reliable indicator for labor in my experience, despite what you may have read to the contrary.

Let them stay together until she has the kittens. At that point, observe whether Nala is still happy with her sister there and how her sister reacts to the kittens. Some strongly bonded cats do well together co-parenting the kittens. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Nala is 62 days I think and her belly has dropped so much I can see her back bone is this a good sign?
