School is starting soon and I may not be able to help with the delivery. I don’t know the due dateāabout how long until she gives birth?
Expert Answer
A cat’s pregnancy usually lasts 60ā65 days; some purebred cats run slightly longer, with the due date falling around days 68ā69 after mating. If you’re unsure when your cat became pregnant, take her to a veterinary hospital for an ultrasound to determine fetal development and an approximate due date.
Also prepare a comfortable, quiet, dimly lit whelping area and let her get familiar with it beforehand. Generally cats deliver without needing help, but if there’s a difficult labor you’ll need to go to the vet, so discuss a plan with your family in advance.
My cat was due and I didn't know the date and the article's right, cat pregnancy runs about 60-65 days, so I took her for an ultrasound to pin the due date and prepped a quiet dim whelping spot. Mine delivered fine once we were ready. If you're unsure when she'll pop, get the ultrasound and set up the birthing area early, because most cats deliver alone but a difficult labor needs a vet, so plan with your family ahead of time.
