You might find she has a nest outside somewhere and is trying to get there to give birth. Make her a cosy, warm little corner somewhere and sit next to it so she is close to it. Put a warm hot water bottle or something under a few blankets in there, but don't make it too hot, the babies may overheat..

Yes, definitely don't let her out. She needs to stay in until she has been spayed.

And temperature is not a reliable indicator. I don't recommend taking it. It's more traumatic than valuable.

I'm defo not going to let her out it's because my other to cats go out, I thought maybe she had nested outside aswell as she doesn't in the house. She's not acting any differently and she's sleepin loads still

It's hard to say. They can lose a mucus plug up to a week ahead. She does not sound in labor. Skip the thermometer. It's not a reliable indicator. Just watch her. It may just have been some discharge.

Some cats get diarrhea before giving birth. It seems to clean out their systems.
