My pregnant cat's temp dropped. Is she about to go into labor?

Question

Hi there! My cat is currently round 66/67 days pregnant. She doesn't like being on her own and seems to have made up her nest the way she likes it not in it much tho as she likes our bed. I have just taken her tempature with a normal digital thermometer (analy) and it was 37c? Am I right in thinking that she could start labouring in the next few hours as her temp has dropped? Providing I have taken it correctly of course many thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | unspayed | 8.5 lbs

Yes, you are right in thinking Luna could go into labor with this temperature drop. Monitor her, and if 24 hours have passed after this temperature drop with no sign of kittens, have her seen by a vet.
