Barn cats and how quick do they "mature"

she will want a place that is hidden and quiet. she will be hiding them not only from you but from the other cat. She isn't likely to have them in any of the places the cats already hang out unless there is a small hidden cranny that she can squeeze into

I really dont care where she has them as long as its not in my attic or in a vehicle. I handled the cat in the attic problem last winter and sent her and her kittens to animal control. They were true ferals who ripped off bird block on my attic and got in then moved to my shop.

and, no, you aren't likely to be able to encourage her to pick a "good" spot to have her litter. If you put at a box/house for her, the other cat is likely to want to sleep in it to which means that she won't have her kittens there. The only way to control where she has them would be to catch her and confine her

I agreen with dainerra, taking her inside would be best for the kittens. It would allow you to aid with the birth process, monitor and keep the little family in a safe place, and ensure the kittens are tame as they can go a bit wild without human interaction(keeping them tame and friendly would increase their chances of finding a home). I admit I havent had a lot of experience with feline pregancy, as I've been fortunate enough to have the resources to sterilze all of ours. Best of luck with them!
