I would try and shut her in one room and set the nesting box there so that you can make sure you can definitely spot the little ones when they are born if she has them whilst you're away/asleep.

Hello, my BSH girl has given birth to 5 little kittens 6 days ago and I was wondering whether you could help me out what colour the 3 lighter ones are ? I'm assuming theyre lilac but not sure if they could be fawn ? The parents were both blue. Also could the colours change ie go darker/lighter ?
