Answer 3

Gestation is usually about 60 to 65 days. That's about 9 weeks. Being restless could be a sign that she's starting labor. Like a woman her uterus will expand and contract and cause some discomfort.

If she's lying there l*****g her bottom that's a sign she's in labor. It encourages the labor when they do that, plus they have birthing discharge just like women.

What you can do is find a nice, quiet dark place away from everyone and put down a box with a towel (one you don't want back). Then show her it. Put her food and water near it. She'll "nest" in it and hopefully will use it to have the babies in (instead of under your bed). Cats will usually crawl into a tight dark place to have their babies so make it easy on yourself and find a spot for her rather than let her pick it out.

If you see a discharge coming from her then you'll know she's in labor. If after a few hours you don't see the babies coming out then you might want to take her to a vet. Sometimes momma's will have one big baby that just gets stuck. You'll want to be careful about that. If she's panting heavily for a long time and nothing's happening then you might want to take her to a vet.

Keep in mind that having the kittens is an all day, all night, next day affair sometimes. She won't have them pop, pop, pop. So leave her to it and keep the kids away!
