Follow up to (Is she pregnant)

Guys i think blacka is in labor.She has white discharge from her vagina.When i walked into the room she started meowing very loud when she saw me,so im thinking she wants me to be there with her.I got to go for now but i will keep you guys updated.Im excited/scared.

You and Blacka are both in my thoughts!!!

My Lily is about to pop any day now and I'm extremely nervous so I love to see posts with happy healthy deliveries!!!

good luck!!!

i hope she has a safe delivery and healthy kittens. keep us updated.

She just gave birth to her first Kitten!!Yay!!.ITs black. She is having trouble biting the umbelical cord.Is ther anyway i can help or will she figure it out?

if she dosnt do it (give her time) then you can take a sterile pair of sharp sisours SP? get some dental floss tie it about 1 1/2 inchs from where its attached and cut the cord on the other side of the tie off, this will stop them bleeding from it. but do give her a chance, sometimes they eat the afterbirth which is attached then cut the cord.

2nd baby arrived.Its all black with white socks and a white face.

aww im glad all is going well.

My first rex queen would NOT cut cords - she'd do everything else. So I was always right there for every litter's birth. I'd tie the cord with dental floss and then gently cut (with small sharp scissors) the other side of the cord away from the kitten.

Then hand the kitten back to mom to finish cleaning up.

I would NOT wait around to see if she will or won't cut cords.

I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!

Is she cutting the chords and all that? I'm soooo nervous about that part with my Lily!!!!

Be sure to give us pictures as soon as she's done!!!

i dont mean wait ages, but wait untill shes finished what she is doing, anne broke the sack then ate the after birth then chewed the cord. fluffy only chewed one of the cords and i had to do the other 3, i think you sort of know when to interveen SP?

I'm thinking she is done.She is feeding the kittens right now.Could i feel her belly to check if she still has kittens? Will she act a little more aggressive.Could i touch the kittens?oh and yes she did cut the cords.The first kitten took a while.She would stand up and be dragging it but then she figured it out.Is there still a chance there is more kittens? i mean one hour has gone by since the last kitten was born.

Okay i take that back.Baby 3 and 4 were just born.4 almost right after 3.

awww, hope there all healthy. what colours were 3 and 4?

It can take a few hours for the last kitten to be born compared to the rest (nothing to "push" it down....lol As long as she's not in hard labor for a long time with no results, you are ok.

But yes you can touch and handle the kittens to check them over. Don't do too much handling the first week or so, but check them daily (once or twice). You don't want mom to be too nervous and don't take the kitten out of sight from mom.

If you handle them from day one, by the time their ears/eyes are open they will be a lot more used to you and won't hiss quite as much

Yea number 2 has the "tuxedo" coloring, and 4 is i think a grey tabby,not sure yet ,its still a litttle wet.so far #1 is all black like its mother.#2 is a 'tuxedo' cat .#3 is also a 'tuxedo' cat. #4 is a gray tabby.She is doing great feeding her little babies.I'll post pictures asap. it was so cool cuz i got to experience the whole thing.I even got to watch one of them come out.The last one.The second one seems to be the strongest.

OH wonderful!!!!!! I can't wait for pictures!!!!!

Guys sorry but haha i missed one of them.baby #5 is all black.So #1 -black.#2-tuxedo.#3-tuxedo.#4-gray tabby.#5-black

Congratulations! That must have been a great experience for you.

I hope they are all happy and healthy. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Congrats to you and Blacka!! Post pics asap!!

Here they are.I think her nest box is a little crowded what do you guys think? I think she was planning on having them on the ground because like i said when i walked in she was meowing very loud.Then like 10 minutes later the first one came.so i was proud of myself that i put her in her nestbox.im also very proud of her.she did great.I think the whole process took about 5 hrs.so here's the pics.
