In this respect, cats are much more efficient than Humans. The gestation period is usually 63 days. Leila had her first litter of seven kittens on day 62. You have a cat. You have Internet access. Do your Internet research, and make sure to find a good vet with emergency service. Cats are fecund and healthy creatures. I would guess that the birth will go well, but will you be able to place the kittens in good homes? I am a licensed breeder of Maine Coons in Japan, and I have been VERY selective of the homes I've found for them. I am not doing this for the money. They are my children. I have one cat left to find a home. In my case, I used my own breeder's stud cat as the father (no relation to the female) and knew exactly when the birth was about to take place. I don't know your situation. Are you taking in a homeless pregnant cat? Is your cat a barn cat? Other Catsters will tell you this: find the kittens good homes, and spay Kitty afterwards.
