How long are cats pregnant?
Feline pregnancy lasts about 65 days from mating, with a normal range of roughly 61 to 72 days. This tool adds 65 days to the mating date for the likely kittening day and shows the surrounding window so nothing catches you off guard.
Signs the day is near
In the last week a queen often seeks out a quiet nesting spot, becomes more affectionate or restless, and may stop eating a day or so before labour. A dip in body temperature is another common signal. The countdown helps you know when to start watching.
Preparing a safe space
Provide a warm, quiet nesting box away from other pets before the early end of the range. Most cats deliver without help, but keep your vet reachable in case labour stalls or a kitten seems stuck.
Note: an estimate based on average gestation. Every animal differs — confirm the timeline with your vet.
