My next door neighbours had what they called an outdoor cat. They couldnt let her in as the husband was allergic to cats! I saw her on my fence in the snow and felt really sorry for her so i slowly started letting her in and my neighbours said i can keep her. Shes pregnant which i noticed 4 weeks ago she looked rather round so i guessed as i could physically see it then it would be around 5 weeks. We have felt and seen the babies moving for 2-3 weeks now. Shes very big at her sides and does not seem to have dropped? Just getting wider. Her mammory glands have not enlarged yet either. A couple of weeks ago she started going into cupboards etc but nothing really since then. I have 3 nests set up for her, shes on kitten food and hasnt been outside since i took her in. I have a male cat but he was neutered a long time ago and she will be as soon as possible. I have all supplies needed thanks to reading up on this site. I will put photos on but as i dont know her due date im just worried she will go too far over ax there are no signs yet? Many thanks

Yes, the waiting game isnt fun. But cats manage a little too long pregnancies better than too early delivery. Read, a cesarean made just to be safe...
With human babies its no big problem, just to do a cesarean, if that is possible.
With cats, weighing all the factors and possible risks, the balance of risks and factors will be heavy into the advice to wait it out....
Tx for helping this little sis of ours!

As long as she is acting normal, not like she is stressed, she will be fine. Cats are good at hiding things when they are not right, but if she starts having trouble she will definitely change her routines and be hiding, not wanting contact, not eating, etc. I had a cat that I swear went months overdue, I didn't think she would ever deliver. But she eventually did deliver 7 kittens with no problems. So just be patient, and observant.
After two litters that ended up at my house from a neighbors cat, I finally took her in and had her spayed. She is living in my house now!
I want to thank you for taking this beautiful little girl in, you will be blessed for your caring heart. Send pictures please, when she finally has those little ones!

I think we are getting close shes not eating much today, spent most of her time in the bottom of my sons wardrobe even though i made her a few nests this is where she keeps going. Shes purring, meowing now and agon but not having contractions yet and being very clingy to me just wanting tummy rubs. Getting a bit nervous x
Hello and welcome to TCS. And thanks for taking in the mama cat. She's beautiful. 
It does sound like she's getting close. Have you read the article How Do I Know When My Cat Will Give Birth?

It sounds like she may be in early labor. Keep us posted!

She will probably have her kittens in the next 24 hours. Milk will come in after delivery.

Shes laying in the cupboard keeps meowing and losing mucus. Is it possible shes pushing the kittens down into place? Shes not straining but seemed to push a couple of times like she was having a poo? Then more mucus came out
She’s definitely in labor and doing what her body needs to do.
