I wondered the same thing about 'dropping'. My friend told me that sometimes they do, but not always. I also checked for milk this morning and none coming out, but then again I don't want to hurt her either. It feels like swollen behind each nipple though, like a bag of milk up in there. I think I read somewhere that it is normal, but it is not down into her nipples yet. I can't recall where I read it...been doing so much reading!
I did print up the section from here on pregnancy, labor and delivery in cats. I want to be prepared as best I can!

Ok she still doesnt have any milk in. I tried to take her temp but she is NOT having it right now. So I didnt force her or anything, I just let her be. She is cleaning herself quite a bit this morning and isnt very friendly. I swear in the last 3 days her belly has grown 2 times the size that it was. Its getting bigger and bigger. Does anyone know just how big the kittens get in like the last week or so?

yes they do drop and it can mean she is close
Just try to rub her belly and you might get wet fingers from the milk
It is close.

Here are a few pictures of Sponge. I also have one or two of Socks (my male that IS fixed). When i am trying to resize them its messing up. I'm not sure whats wrong with it or how to fix it. So i am just putting the links to the pictures on here instead of the pictures.

Here is another picture of Sponge that I just took. You can really see how big her belly is in this one.

She hates the world right now. I am leaving her alone b/c she is not wanting to be messed with at all. I feel so bad for her. She has mood swings just like I had when I was pregnant (my poor husband) LOL. I talked to my husband after I did my post a little bit ago and we decided that if she doesnt have the babies by Monday we are going to make an appointment with the vet to see excatly when she may have them. I will sneak in there in a couple minutes and try to snap a picture of her.

LOL Moe hates the world right now as well! Today is her due date! She has been snooping in all the rooms and she was digging my couch cusions! Everytime I go to pet her she tries to attack me! She has been trying to get outside all day long. She is driving me CRAZY!! I don't know what to do! I can't put her in a room and shut the door because she scratches the doors up and the carpet up!
