What are the final signs of a feline pregnancy, as in, the days before she gives birth?

In my previous question, I was asking about how to introduce my newly taken in stray cat, to my four year old indoor cat.
My stray, Lily, is very heavily pregnant. As in, we’re pretty certai this is the last week, at the most, of her pregnancy. We have absolutely no way of knowing when she got pregnant. What are the definitive final signs? Its been so long since we’ve had a pregnant cat in the house…

I really can’t remember, but your cat will be taking it kinda slower and will dissappear when she finally gives birth and that’s the only way to know, because you’ll have to go find her.She’ll be somewhere she thinks is safe, and soon you’ll hear mewing if you listen close enough. I guess the cat will probably just have a certain look about her beforehand, ya know, like a pregnant woman who’s about to pop. you’ll just have to pay close attention to anything out of the ordinary.
when the water part broke in woman’s genitals i think?
I think hiding is the most noticeable sign. She’ll be gone and you’ll find a litter of kittens in your bottom drawer 2 days later! Or behind the cupboard…
We had a cat who gave birth inside the bottom shelf of a cupboard. She then changed her mind about that spot and took them to the top shelf of the linen closet.
That still wasn’t good enough, so she tried to hide them in the wall cavity and we had to get someone out to rescue them!!!
Anyway, I digress. I’m sure there are more useful signs, but hiding is definitely one of them.
I remember my cat nesting. She kept looking around and getting in things and turning around in circles. They gestate for about 2 months I think. If you are keeping the cat indoors you should be able to notice any nesting behavior pretty easily. Guess you will have to spy on her some! =)
if you feel her stomach it should feel really hard & big,even look a bit deformed(all the babies getting big & moving)
my cat began crying a lot & hid & we found her while she was having her 3rd out of 6 cats.
