I would take Pepsi into a vet immediately. A cat's pregnancy can last from 58-68 days, but if this end point is reached with no signs of kittens, then veterinary attention is needed. She needs evaluation from a vet to determine if she needs help with giving birth. Please take her into a vet now.

    She is just over the normal gestation period so I would recommend getting her seen by your vet for an exam, just to make sure everything is okay. Since she seems to be acting fine otherwise, I wouldn't be too worried, but if she has a biggish kitten slowing things up she may need assistance.
