If the box has a sufficient depth, in one of its walls you can cut a manhole through which the pregnant animal can easily how to get inside the box and get out of it. Let your pet get acquainted with this nest – if she doesn't like it, then there is a huge probability that to give birth she will come to your bed. If everything is in order, then put that box in a quiet place where the cat won't be disturbed.

Approximately one day before birth, the cat begins to worry and hard to prepare their nest, and a couple of hours before the momentous event she calls the owner to the place where the childbirth actually will happen.
