Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a cat pregnant?
Cat gestation averages 63-65 days (about 9 weeks) from mating, with most cats delivering between days 60 and 68. The 3-3-3 mnemonic is sometimes used: 3 months is 91 days and is too long - the correct number to remember is 63-65 days from breeding.
How can I tell if my cat is pregnant?
Around day 14-16 the nipples become pink and enlarged ("pinking up") - this is one of the earliest visible signs. A vet can palpate embryos from around day 21 and confirm pregnancy by ultrasound from day 28. Behavioral changes like increased affection and appetite also occur in mid-pregnancy.
When should I set up a kittening box?
Set up a quiet, warm nesting box around day 50 of pregnancy. Place it in a low-traffic area the cat already uses. Use a cardboard box lined with clean towels. Introduce your cat to it early so she chooses it over a closet or under the bed when labor begins.
