I would isolate Rosalinda from the other cat. She doesn't need any added stress while being pregnant, and she won't want the other cat around her or her kittens. The normal gestation for cats is 58-68 days, so she should give birth around another two weeks. Once she has weaned her kittens, you can slowly introduce Rosalinda to your other cat.
