Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 11 months and 25 days old | 9 lbs
My cat is 54 days pregnant. She is having a ton of movement in her belly so I'm wondering if this is a sign of a lot of kittens. I'll see one huge kick or movement on one side and on the complete other side of her belly I'll see one too. I don't know if kittens move around in the belly so that's why there's movement on complete different sides or if they only stay on one side so if there's movement on both this means there's more than one. I'm sorry if I don't make sense. Plz let me know.

She's due very soon, as cats gestation period is generally 58-64 days give or take. Their uterus is actually V-shaped, and each horn can lie along either side of her belly. Once she has weaned this litter of kittens, I strongly recommend getting her spayed to prevent further litters and a number of health problems that are more likely to occur if she is not spayed.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The average pregnancy length is 60-63 days. 70-72 days pregnant is considered over due. So I would expect it will be any day now! If you see them move that is a good sign. Good luck!

The typical length of pregnancy for a cat is 63-67 days. You may want to check in with your vet today and make an appointment to ensure that the kittens are still doing well and to make a plan if the kittens do not come tomorrow.

Hello. Cats are pregnant an average of 64 days. Without a breeding date, it is impossible to predict when she may have the kittens, but if you are feeling movement, then birth may be anytime between tonight & another 7-10 days. Just keep an eye on her. good luck.
