First of all, Gestation (the amount of time an animal is pregnant) for the cat is about 63 days.
I got the following information from:

There are certain signs you can look for to determine whether your cat is pregnant. You will notice a significant weight gain in your cat, particularly in the abdominal area. Weight gain, however, typically doesn’t appear until the fifth week or so of the pregnancy. You’ll also notice your cat may experience morning sickness. This is quite similar to morning sickness in human women. Cats experience morning sickness because their bodies aren’t used to larger uterine organs. You’ll also notice that your cat’s nipples will begin to grow. This typically will happen by the sixth week of the pregnancy. Her nipples will become soft and pink, and they’ll fill with milk.
Your pregnant cat will start eating a lot more and demanding a lot more food. After all, it’s eating for more than just one! A pregnant cat likely won’t start eating more, however, until just a few days before delivery. So when this starts to happen, you can be assured that she’s about to give birth.
Further, you’ll notice your cat behaving a bit differently than you’re accustomed to. Pregnant cats are normally quieter and more loving than they are when they aren’t pregnant. Also, you can count on seeing the kittens in the uterus area within a week of delivery. This sometimes freaks some owners out, but it’s normal.
Here is another website, just in case you still need information.
