It takes a cat to have her kittens about 65 days . What I would do is to set up a box somewhere that is quiet where , when she goes into labor she will want to use . It would also be in the best intrest of you to look into the ins and outs of cat labor and what you can expect that can happen . My first litter I had 5 kitties , but one came out backwards and got hung up . By the time mom found out I had went into labor I had 2 kitties in the box and trying to get the one that got hung up off of me . She got him off and tried to bring him back but it didn't happen . I had 2 more after him by the next morning .The cat channel has some good advice on to be mommies and what to do . So tell your mom to check it out .

It can be difficult, unless you were there for the actual conception, to estimate when your kitty is due. And even then, they can be early or late. The best thing to do, if you and your vet feel she is close, to begin providing safe, quiet spots for her to deliver. If you notice she's hunting around, digging in closets, dragging paper, clothing or blankets around, she's close. Some cats get very affectionate and some just want to be left the heck alone when they're about to deliver. Keep an eye on her. Make sure all possible escape routes are sealed up. A friend had a pregnant cat disappear into a vent when the cover was left off and deliver inside the wall. You can also provide a box with shredded newspaper but she'll deliver where she feels like it. Be close but don't interfer. The odds are against her having a problem delivery, but stay close-by anyway. Keep all other pets and gawkers AWAY!!! You don't want to stress her out. And remember, we want photos of the new family!!!
