You might want to call your vets office to double check me, however as far as I know a NURSING mother cat should be fed kitten food because of the extra protien requirements.
Hope the momma cat and babies do good.
Good luck.

Mama cats need lots of protein and vitamins. Feeding her canned kitten food and dry kitten food are an excellent source. You can also boil up chicken livers and give her those. Lots of iron, good for her. I did that when Mattie Grace was with me, before she had her babies.
She'll need a nice quiet room, with a box lined with newspaper and old towels or blankets, along with her food, water and litterbox.
The gestation period for a cat is 63-65 days. When she is starting labor, she will get very restless and won't eat alot. She will start to pant and push went the birth is imminent. The total time for labor and delivery from start to finish is 10 hours. Just stay with her and encourage her. Let her do the rest. That means giving birth, then chewing off the umbilical chord and eating the placenta (I know it's gross). The babies will start to nurse immediately. If at anytime she shows lack of interest to a kitten, try to put the kitten to her teats to nurse. Make sure once all the babies are born, that she has a clean box with clean bedding.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to PM me. There are also other PT members that can help too.

Thanks everyone and Moosmom, if I need help I'll be sure to PM you.
They said she's pretty big so she must be close to having them maybe in a few weeks or less but I'll judge that when I get the photos so I can see her tummy of kittens lol.
