bring her to a vet.

i don't think any of us can give an objective opinion from so far.

another thing.... in internet forums/chat rooms, capital letters throughout is construed as shouting. but i'm sure you did not mean this.

cheers.

63 days is just the general gestation time...it could vary by a few days sooner or a few days latter depending on the individual cat. If nothing happens in the next few days I would definately contact a vet.

hi there some cats have been known like nerm says to go a couple of days over.

If she has not delivered by the 65th day i would take her to the vets and have her checked over to make sure everything is going well a C-section maybe required if the kittens are too large to be born naturally..

Keep us posted of her progress.

I have talked to my vet and right now he says there is no need for concern because my male cat bred with her more than once her due date may be slightly more or less depending when she got pregnant. Does this sound correct to anyone?

Angel is just so huge!!!! i am concerned should i just wait it out a little longer as my vet suggested or get another opinion from another vet?

Hi its hard i know its upto you if you decided to wait it out or get another opinion you can ask for either an ultrasound scan to be done or an x-ray this will show where the kittens are in the uterus and give you a good idea of when she should give birth.

Good luck and hope all goes well.

no kittens yet, angel has started to nest a little more. her heat was the 16th of december, my male cat got her more than once so if she has not had them by the end of this month she will go back to the vet but at this point he sees no need for worry. she is huge though so i hope it's going to be any day now.
i will keep you all posted

Hi i have been talking it over with my vet about your kitties due date being the 14th feb and her not having them yet she sugests having either an ultra sound scan or x-ray done to determine how far along the pregnancy is and where in the birth canal the first kitten is as one maybe stuck or in breech position.
If this is the case veterinary intervention maybe needed.

Hope all is well with mum and everything goes as planned.

no kittens yet,I hope it will be tonight yet as I have to leave for Michigan at 4 this morning. I was hoping she would have them before I had to leave but she is taking her time. However they are moving all around and her food intake has been decreasing so she will probably have them while i am away.
I do have a relative that will be checking on her while i am away. i will let you know as soon as the time comes.
