Gestation is about 63-65 days, so you should be seeing signs of labor soon. If your timing is right, it should be any day now. You may be slightly off on your timing and maybe she has been pregnant for less time than you think? Look for signs of labor such as nesting behavior, vocalization, being more affectionate, licking the vulva and a change in appetite. Cats do not always give clear signs of labor like dogs so it can be tricky sometimes to notice when a cat is in labor. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Pregnancy in cats lasts about 60-65 days, so if you know when she was bred you'll be able to determine when she may be due. You can also bring her into your vet for an X-ray if she is close to labor to count how many kittens to expect when she does go into labor. Signs of labor can include trying to find a place to nest, pacing and restlessness, waxing of the nipples (small waxy discharge that appears before milk comes in), active visible contractions along the body, not wanting to eat (usually a day or so before), and actively straining or going into labor. If she is in active labor for more than 24 hours without any kittens, goes more than 24 hours between kittens (if you know there are more present) while still showing signs of labor, or seems in great distress (more so than normal labor), then these are all signs of possible dystocia (difficult birth) and Kitteh should be brought to your vet ASAP for care.

It sounds like she could be in labor, but the weakness and frequent panting are concerning. She may be having difficulty and may need assistance to birth the kittens. I would recommend having her examined by a vet as soon as possible. The normal gestation length for a cat is up to 70 days, but average is around 63 days.

She is probably close to labor time, you need to wait patiently and provide a quiet place for her and the future kittens to be in. If you see contractions for more than 8 hours and still no kittens it will be a good idea to contact your vet but difficulties giving birth are quite rare in cats.
