Your cat is pregnant. She will be having kittens soon.

Please post a picture of your whole cat so we can see her belly.

Has she been around intact males?

The white specks are dried milk. Once milk comes in cats usually deliver within about a week.

Your cat's tummy is huge! Have you made a nest for her?

Do you plan to spay her after this litter?

Can you keep mom inside and 100% away from intact males? How did she get pregnant?

We have a farm nearby . She used to get out in the garden but when she knew there was a farm she went there and we didn't know what to do because it"s pretty difficult to close the entrance for her to go in the farm so we reaaly didn't have a choice . She liked going in the garden and if we didn't let her she would meow non stop .

She is breathing faster than usual today and she is pacing out a little and she is eating . Her nipples have dried milk but i don't really know if she is going to labour today

It sounds as though she is in stage one labor. Depending on when it began, it can last up to 24 hours.

It probably began during the night. Do you see ripples in her belly? If so, those are contractions.
