Hmm she might be a lot further along than you thought. She could be at 6 weeks. A cats gestation is 9 weeks. Nesting usually occurs a couple weeks before delivery. Also you can start to see/feel the kittens moving at a couple weeks before. Does she look like she has breasts? This also happened to my cat a couple weeks before as the milk really came in heavy. Overall does she look like she is getting fatter? They usually won't show until 4-5 weeks then the weight goes into hyperdrive as they usually get pretty big.

I never noticed Meeka's. Some people happen to see it. With Meeka she must have cleaned it up right away. The way I knew is she came in early in teh morning and started chattering at me and I looked at her and there was a clear discharge tinged with a little bit of red. Some people see the signs and others keep so clean you won't know until you see contractions or a baby..

When my girls had kittens, about 8 hours before labor kicked in, the cleaned themselves excessivly, so i didnt notice the plug, but they woke me up all 3 times and made me stay with them during, so in my case, they let me know lol

I think i would just keep an eye on her, watch for odd behavior.

and good luck
