How far along in pregnancy do cats start to seek out the birthing location?

I'm trying to figure out how far along my cat is. Her stomach is firm and round, and you can feel the babies although I have not felt any kicking yet. Today I found her under my bed and she has never gone under there before. I called her and petted her, and then after a while she went back under the bed. I'm thinking she is scouting it out as a nest. So I was just wondering how far into the pregnancy cats start doing this. Thanks!
Answers:
Your cat is about at the same stage right now as mine. From what I can tell she has about two weeks to go. In about a week you will notice a huge change in her nippples and her milk will start to come in. Expect her to deliver about 5-7 days from the time you notice her nipples swelling.
This is the perfect time to provide her with a safe birthing location. Prepare a box with a towel or old blanket and show it to her several times a day. Make sure that it is in a place that she is comfortable and it is away from other animals and children. I have a home office and she lays on my desk all day so my box is actually under my desk. You can move the location after about a week.
about 1month and 3 weeks your welcome
ewwwww...
it sounds like she is looking for a place to give birth. I would say she's got about a couple of weeks to go.
have her nipples dropped? if so then shes really close (About a week) if not it could be another two or so . congratulations!
