Answer 1

they are pregnamt for 60- 67 days they adverage is around 63 days. you should start feeding your cat kittn food from the 5th week of pregnancy around 400g a day or as much as she will eat. she will probably want more once the kittens are born.continue feeding this untill the kittens are weaned. good luck

Answer 2

In my experience the gestation period for cats is 9 weeks but its not unusual for cats to give birth a little early or a little late. I would say perhaps your vet is right and cats can be pregnant for up to 12 weeks. The eating and the sleeping are good and normal especially the eating part that is really important.

I'm not sure what the bumps are you are talking about are but it is likely that she will have her kittens very soon, the best thing you can do is prepare a place for her to have them if you haven't already done that, a card board box with newspaper in to start off with is best or a basket in a quiet room where she won't be disturbed. Cats are probably the best mothers in the animal kingdom so they usually can do it all themselves no bother unless she is quiet young and this is her first litter she might want you to hold her paw! x

Good Luck!
