Pregnancy in cats lasts about nine weeks. The length of the pregnancy, from ovulation to birth can vary between different breeds - anything between 58-70 days is considered within normal range. During the first half of the pregnancy the cat gives no clue that she is pregnant. She hunts, rests, and generally behaves normally. Later on under the influence of progesterone - a hormone released during the pregnancy - and with an ever increasing wei¨¡ght in her abdomen, she soon moderates her behavior, gradually reducing her activity level and resting more. If you think that your cat may be pregnant, first check her nipples. These become more prominent and pink by three weeks of gestation. By four to five weeks after conception, her belly becomes visibly enlarged and developing fetuses are usually quite easy to count.

During the last weeks of cat pregnancy, your cat may have difficulty finding a comfortable position and may seem restless. Many female cats seek seclusion. Cats are normally able to give birth without any problem completely by themselves. The process appears to be practically pain free, and apart from the actual straining, the cat seems unperturbed by the whole situation. Human intervention is rarely needed, even dealing with the umbilical cord and fetal membranes can be left to the cat. If you suspect that your cat may be pregnant, or if you know that she is, take her to see the veterinarian as soon as possible. The vet will give the cat a regular checkup to make sure she is healthy. No special medical attention is necessary unless she has an existing medical condition or injures herself or becomes ill during the course of the pregnancy.  ( http://www.catwebsite.org/cat-pregnancy.htm )
