How it is calculated

  1. Start from the breeding date. Use the date of mating. If the cat was bred more than once, use the last date.
  2. Add 65 days. The average cat carries for about 65 days, so the due date is 65 days after breeding.
  3. Mark the normal window. Most kittening happens between day 61 and day 69, so watch from day 61 and call your vet if nothing has happened by day 69.
