Answers:
Twelve to forty-eight hours before the onset of labor your cat will seem more anxious and restless. She will often begin looking for a place to nest and have the litter. Cats that are about to go into labor will usually lick their abdomen and vagina persistently.
There is often a discharge that precedes birthing but the mother may lick it away before you see it.
You may notice that she stops eating, although some cats will eat throughout the entire process.
You may see her breathing become more rapid. In some cases the mother will sit with her mouth open and yowl loudly or pace.
As her labor progresses and uterine contractions begin she will lay on her side and frequently squat and press downward to push the kittens out.
Panting not being able to get comfortable scratching an area just make a place in a box with towel where it will feel comfortable and safe.
Panting ALOT and loudly..also she might be meowing very loudly kinda like the way cats sound when they are in heat. Is her stomach hard and hanging pretty low. If so she could be really close!

GOOD LUCK!


Also she will be in her cat bed or a place she likes to sleep and moving around alot like she is uncomfortable!
you would be surprise, I was looking for all of that panting loud and scratching and everything else people said when they go into labor. But my cat had her went into labor april 20 , and she didnt give me any signs . My hubby was sleeping and my other cat woke him up by pushing his face w/her paws. when he woke up at 4:15pm all he heard was the baby crying, he moved the bed and there was the first kitten. We moved her to the corner of the bedroom where she had 5 more and in total she had (6) kittens, its been 11 days and so far so good, healthy and gaining weight daily.
