Breeds
That is very true (look in the usual place), but sometimes, esp. if they have a lot of fur, it can be tough to tell. I've been surprised many times when I've taken kittens to the vet - which is the best way to find out.
Cat Care
I actually have a lot of experience with pregnant strays! They really are naturally great moms - almost always. I've heard of some moms attacking their babies, but never have seen that. Although one mom I did have to assist a little did almost bite one of the babies' heads off, just from the pain of giving birth to its sibling. That mom also delivered a stillborn cat first. I called the vet and they had me massage it, but it was just gone on arrival, unfortunately. The others were fine, though. Also that cat was really panting - it was very hot, and I called the vet again - they said to take her temp - which amazingly she let me do with no problem, and to put a towel around a bottle of ice next to her. She seemed to appreciate that. All the moms I've seen give birth have appreciated having people around, but they really do take care of the whole thing themselves. I've helped babies find nipples, but I don't really think that was necessary.
