Is there an emergency vet you can call and ask advice to? Often, the vet tech can give you advice over the phone without charge. At least here in Canada they let you know what to watch for and if/when you would need to bring your pet in.

There is no need to call an emergency vet. All the signs are normal for end of pregnancy. It could be any day now up to a week, but her body is preparing for birth soon based on what you describe. Just be patient, and keep us posted!

Also, do plan to spay your cat when her kittens are 8 weeks old.

Oh yes sorry. I didn't mean that there IS an emergency, just that if the poster isn't sure what is normal that a vet tech will tell them over the phone free of charge, as well as list any signs of what to watch for to know when to take a birthing cat to hospital.
