This is for the birds!! All I want to know is how long is it natural for a cat to be in labor before she has her kittens!! It takes forever to find a place to ask a question and then my message is to short? Give me a break and please tell me about my cat!:mad: :mad:

I think this is a very helpful site for your question. It answers how long the gestation period is and why. And the stages of labor, and their respective lengths. It's all very interesting, and hopefully answers your question.
