iv been keeping her locked up so she wont go somewhere and have them where I cant find them and we have coyotes bad here. I hate keeping her locked up

I made a mistake the first time our kitty had kittens and she ran off and hid them here and they died. For her second litter, I locked her up for a week or so and came home one day to 6 cute little balls of fluff...

Your doing the right thing, even though it's tough. If you let her out you run the risk of something happening to her or her kittens when they get born. Keep a close eye on her, it should be anytime now. Be sure to post pics. when they are born, I love kittens.

I have worked with a rescue and birthed my share of kittens. Pregnancy should be 63 days long give or take a day or two. Most cats are great mothers and don't need anything except a quiet dark place. If you are planning on using a crate, drape  towels or blanket over the top so she has a den. She'll be less stressed. Be sure she has something to nest in-maybe an old towel or two. Otherwise she just needs quiet and dark.  I'm sure it will be fine.

I am not an expert on kittens but I remember from years ago on our farm that a tom cat (unaltered male) will sometimes kill baby kittens. I would not trust your unaltered males with the babies. Maybe in future get all your males neutered and get your pregnant female spayed after her babies come and are weaned. just my thoughts. Good Luck... Kay in NC 5.6.16

she will be spayed once these kittens are weaned. Yes male cats will kill kittens iv heard some horror stories so I always keep ALL animals away from my baby animals.

At her size, she will definitely go soon! Try to leave her alone as much as possible. Cats have the uncanny ability to postpone labor if they feel people looking at them too often!

Good for you for planning to get her spayed! She is a very pretty girl!

either our neighbor's cat got our girl pregnant when she was pregnant or a stray did. Two of the kittens sadly turned out to have something wrong with their hips. They are alright and we still have them, but they walk funny. We still have three of the kittens out of six. 2 boys and 1 girl. It *was* three girls and three boys. One boy went to my aunt's house and the rest stayed here with us. Since then, the two long haired girls were killed (idiotic people live 'round here) and the rest are still living.
