Hi all, my cat gave birth to one kitten at 4am this morning (U.K time) looks as if she’s done. But she’s very unsettled and keeps getting up and leaving the little one and took this picture of her just now, one side seems bigger than the other? Although I can’t feel any kittens moving, not sure...
Thankyou guys. Kittens are doing great they all had big gains yesterday.
I wanted to pick your brains StefanZ about colours and genetics if possible.
Mum is a seal point and dad is a chocolate point which to my knowledge means we should get 50/50 on colours however if say both of them carried...

Looks like they're all gaining well on their own 128522
How can you tell if there girls or boys?
2 are a bit more sticking out than the other 4?
I'm guessing 4 girls 2boys?
I have goats milk and can order a kitten bottle on amazon that will arrive tomorrow if need be.
I would much rather them feed from mum than having to supplement.
It seems like today it's a different kitten that has been fought off the nipple. Perhaps if I spend more time making sure they all...

The one who lost has gained +8 today so that's good but gains aren't that great. They've been really happy and contented, they haven't been squeaking that much and they mostly feed and sleep. Her milk should come in today if it hasn't already? Do I start...
Thankyou. I've put her on mum twice extra today and she/he has had a good feed both time. And so far today gained 2g so will see how they all go tomorrow. I did notice the others pushing this one off. But this one was the biggest born.

I can and have been doing. None of my animals have access to my room which is good. But earlier she was sat behind the door waiting to come out for one reason or another and I was worried she might abandon them. Will she want to keep them under my bed long term then do you think?
I do. I've got 2 dogs and two other ragdolls (dad and another female) at the minute they've been locked away in the kitchen. They can be outside if need be too. How long would benokay for her to spend away from them?
I panicked and brought the kittens down on their cover they were born on and...
Snow has come downstairs and got in front of the fire. She's been down here about twenty minutes is that normal? Should she be staying with the kittens?
Thankyou.
The babies all latched really quickly. And she has had a big lunch she was ravenous. When she got up I got a chance to weigh and mark the kittens. Smallest was 94g and the biggest was 121g the small one is the only one under 100g I can't tell if they've all managed to have a feed...
Thankyou so much. I have no idea what happened. Only thing I could think was if they were sharing a placenta but that doesn't add up because of the placenta being in front of baby 5?
She's all done now 6 beautiful white babies. Haven't weighed or marked them yet will let mummy cat rest for a...
I'm not sure. I've removed a couple of slats so I have some access from the top. But when I picked a kitten up she jumped up and didn't look happy. She's bitten number 5's I believe and number 6 is still attached
Right. I cut number 4's. Then had to go take my children downstairs and I came back and number 6 was born. So now number 5 and 6 are still connected. She's in such an awkward position under my bed so I can't tell if placentas have been born yet
