I have no idea...I found her in a wooded area by herseft and no one came to claime her yet.....looks like she is really close....I have a vet appointment tomorrow..then I will find out.
Taking her to the vet is a good thing. I have had some mommy's to be I have took in they all act differant. The things that each of them have done is a few weeks before birth they have rooted around looking for a place to have the kittens. I have a place for them when I take in mommy's but they still root everywhere else.
I notice that they eat a lot more close to birth.
And when they begin labor it is like they are grunting.
One thing my vet told me was to look for a slight discard but I never did see that, I saw the contractions.
I hope this helps until you get more feedback.

Thankyou,I had been lloking for a discharge but nothing yet or I missed it while she cleans herself....She is so precious I hope they come soon with out problems...
As best I've been able to figure it out:
If the cat is just starting to get wider: 5-6 weeks
Hair falls off around the nipples: 7 weeks
Start to feel kittens moving inside: 7-7.5 weeks
Getting wider every day: 8 weeks
Discharge visible from her vulva (hope I can say that word here, lol!): 24-72 hours before birth
This definitely isn't exact but it's the best I've been able to figure out. I've been pretty successful at figuring out how far along a pregnancy is by looking for these signs.

That sounds about right, semiferal - good job. My Lexus is right at day 40 and is indeed growing wider. Her nickname at the moment is Jemimah Waddle Duck due to the way those babies swing to and fro as Lexus walks. *chuckle* I have a very long, Ranch-O-Rama Bowling Alley style hallway, and to watch Lex walk down to my bedroom is a great source of amusement at the moment.
