My pregnant cat's kittens are kicking. When is she due to deliver?

When do you think my cat is due? We can see and feel kicking from the kittens. She is a little more vocal and wants a little more attention each day.

It is impossible for me to say for sure when she is due. If you have any idea when she was in heat or when she mated, it is ~62-63 days after that. She looks rather round so I would assume she will be having kittens in the next 1-2 weeks. You could always have your vet take an x-ray to see if there are fetal skeletons. If so, she is at least 45 days along in gestation. I hope this helps!
