How much longer till my cat has her kittens?

Ok I'm not really sure when she got pregnant, I know it was around the end of march. My cats belly is real big, we feel the kitties a lot we see them moving also, her nipples are bright pink and swollen. Can someone give me a idea as to how much longer? I want to be home while she gives birth incase there is trouble. This is her first litter, how many could she have?
Answers:
Well it kind of depends on the cat for as far as how many kittens she'll have...Most of the time, a cats first litter is usually no more than 4 kittens...But there are other times that cats will give birth to more than that the first time...When my cat Cheetah had her first batch of kittens, she had 8 of them! I couldn't believe it...The kittens should start to slow their activity a little bit about 2 or 3 days before she's ready to pop...If her nipples are starting to swell up, I would say maybe no more than a week...Give or take...It's hard to say without seeing the cat...Good luck
cats are preganet for 3 months and they can have up to 7 to 10 kittens.
there's an 'off' button on her right ear. at midnight on a full moon, press the velvety ear clockwise and say "mammy mammmy mammy" and stomp three times walkin backwards. it's an old wiccan spell that actually works
It's 63 days, she should be having kittens any day now!!! Just make sure she has a box with towels to have her babies. When her tummy is hard and very little movement she'll start going into labor. Have food and water for her. She may stop eating a day before. Make sure she has a quite please to give birth and care for her kittens. She could have 4 to 6 kittens more or less just a guess. Good luck;^)
Till the end of this month she'll probably give birth. My own cat gave birth of 5 kittens last year and it was her first time. She started having the babies in the morning. And the night before she went to her box and stayed there. So if your cat has a box of her own or another place where she sleeps and the place has her smell, she'll probably go there. You should put towels around the place or if she lets you try putting them inside. She'll give birth on her own, she doesn't need any help. If you see some problem or think something's wrong, call the vet. There will be lots of blood but don't worry coz she'll lick it up. After the babies are born she'll lick them too. If you want you could move the babies on clean place. But the IMPORTANT thing is not to touch the babies with your bare hands! Use a towel or gloves to move them coz if you move them with your bare hands they'll get some of your smell and the mother might reject them. My cat allowed me to touch her babies but not all cats do that.
After you've moved them you can just watch them and your cat. She wouldn't leave them alone for at least 3 days and this means she won't go to eat, drink water or use the toilet. You should try giving her little food and water while she's with the babies coz they drain her out. They'll be blind for at least 2 weeks and won't move away from her. Don't touch them for at least a week after their birth and after that if they start meowing too much don't touch them coz your cat might think you're a threat and attack you.
While your cat is feeding them make sure she has the best food. Give her vitamins and lots of food so that the babies survive and grow healthy.
When the babies start walking they'll pee everywhere and your cat will lick it up in the beginning. Later when they walk well she'll teach them to use the toilet. If she doesn't teach them you should.
The babies could be from 3 to 6-7. They'll be making lots of noise but it's kinda cute.
Wish you and your cat birth without problems and healthy kittens.
It will be within the week. Only a vet can tell you about how many kittens there are.
The gestation period in 65 days give or take. The nipples start to swell around 21 days. The litter size all depends. However, the ffirst litter is normally the smallest. Good luck!http://www.cat-pregnancy-report.com/cat-... Check out this site it might help.
If she got pregnant at the of march she should have her babies with in the next week or so. Cats are pregnant for 90 days. And the largest litter of kittens i've heard of is 7.. But even if she is huge she may only have 3. My cats last litter was 3 and I thought for sure she would have 6.
