Expert Answer

The cat’s pregnancy is about 65 days; pre-birth signs include temperature drop, restlessness, rapid breathing, tension, open-mouth breathing, and appetite loss. She seeks a warm quiet nest 0.5-2 days early.

The abdomen swells and drops, breasts enlarge with darker nipples, and a little milk can be expressed. Labor pains follow with amniotic fluid from the vulva.
