Question
hi my cat is 64 days pregnant, shes eating ok still but she seem a lot quieter, she keep washing herself alot and is sleeping alot, i onli feel the kittens very rarely  as my cat isnt big at all, do you think shes ok and also her bottom part looks like its opening slightly is this normal

Answer
Tias Mom,

Yep, it sounds as if she is getting ready.  I am sure I sent you my general guidelines on the events leading up to birth.  The washing and sleeping a lot is part of the nesting behavior I commented on in my guidelines.

It sounds as if she is beginning to dilate as a precursor to having kittens.

Best regards... Norm.
