Hello Lovely may begin to create a nest such as gather up blankets, or toys in a hidden place where she may be comfortable to deliver her kittens. She may also begin to hide more and she will begin to grow her mammary glands. Pregnancy in cats may vary from 62-67 days. Hope this helps and best of luck.
