What Day Did Your Cat Go Into Labor?

[Brookecarson976]

Hello! We noticed our cat is pregnant a few weeks ago. I know for certain the only time she got out was Dec 7,2018 when my kid left the garage open. She was gone for 2 days! She hasn’t been out before or since . She is 63 days pregnant today so I’m just getting anxious! Wanting to hear some labor stories or how far along your kitty was when she delivered!?

She’s pretty! 64 days is the average gestation length for cats, but that’s only the average. It can go a bit longer. This article lists some signs to look for that indicate that delivery is nearing: How Do I Know When My Cat Will Give Birth?

I would recommend getting her nesting box set up, if you haven’t already: Pregnant Cat? What To Prepare For The Birth

I made her a huge box and covered it like a tent in the back corner of my room. She doesn’t seem interested though. I put her food next to it which she will go eat but won’t get inside the box. I’ll post a pic

Gorgeous!! Have you felt any movement? Usually approx 2 weeks from feeling movement she'll be nearly ready. Hopefully within this week but you can never be sure just like humans haha

Yes we’ve been able for feel them for a few weeks! And we noticed she was getting milk about 5 days ago. She doesn’t seem to be having any other signs . She’s tired and uncomfortable seeming .

Shouldn't be too much longer if shes getting milk in. Good luck!

Thanks! She’s laid in my bed all day today. Hasn’t really moved much at all. Hopefully soon!

She’s at 65 days today and still really no signs of labor . When should I be worried about her being pregnant too long? She’s a really small cat .
I’m at work today but my 15 year old is watching her . He said she was just lounging around not really acting like anything was going on

Definitely no need to worry at only 65 days. It could happen any day now, but 63-65 days is just an average. There have been people on this site who have reported pregnancies lasting about 70 days.
