Make a boxed in area that she can get iin out but the kittens won't. For the three weeks put her food and water in the area and her litter box about three feet away from the area. Make sure you have some milk replacer in case she has nursing issues and a small bottle. A puppy scale is also good for keeping track of the kittens growth. As for your cats playfulness be careful to much action could make her have the kittens early so try to keep her calm. When your watching tv or something Let her sit on your lap and pet her or scratch her ears.

It doesn't matter how many places you may make for her to have her kittens. Most likely she's going to pick her own place. My cat gave birth under my bed, but it wasn't messy at all. No one was home when she was pregnant, and we came him and we had 5 cats =] She cleaned up after herself really well. There was no stains on the carpet or anything, and all the kittens were clean as well.
If she's do in three weeks, don't do any strenuous exercises with her. But when she acts like she wants to be petted, pet her. Love on her, and stay with her. That's about all you can do.

..and as for playing with your cat, yarn works wonders (or dangling some sort of toy in front of her...she will start playing around with it). My old roommate used to have a cat too, and she had a wand that she'd wave around, and sometimes some string would do the trick.

Also, cats often choose a person in the house to become attached to. My sister and I used to have a cat, and she loved my sister so much..she'd follow her around and sleep in her room at night. To get her to bond with you, you can try playing with her, offering her food/treats, etc.. I think all cats have their own personality..so she may respond in a certain way to you. If you are the primary caregiver, she'll become most attached to you, since you play with her and feed her. She'll start to bond with you once she feels completely comfortable.
