[rachel29]

She's probably getting close. Our cat disappeared to a quiet area (under the bed) and sorted herself out. She stayed there for a few hours then had the kittens. Good luck

Our cat always made a very low pitched meow when she was ready to give birth and she always looked for somewhere quiet to have them. I usually stayed with her and rubbed her tummy which seemed to calm her. She always let me pick up the kittens soon after they were born. It was as if she trusted me because I had 'helped' her to give birth!

My cats had 3 litters and I'm sure they go for 9 weeks. They  do look for a quiet dark place to give birth. When you think she is going into labour try not to bother her too much they would rather do it alone. Just check on her a couple of times, but don't mke a fuss of her or touch the kittens unless there is a problem. They really are quite clever, and clean up all the mess it's amazing.

Hope everything goes ok.
