Some kitties can breed a few days apart and have two separate litters. But usually there's not too much of a time difference between the labor of both litters, so it should be anywhere from now to a few days from now at most I would assume.

There's also a chance she went into early labor and that the two babies were premature which could be a reason for why they passed.

Good luck.

If it is a typically Two litters at the same time, so the other will typically come about 3 weeks later....

It may also be as Clynn11 suggested - one week apart perhaps it this case, as one of them DID survive.

Not common but not unique either with such litters several weeks apart.

Just prepare yourself, wait and see!

Good luck!

Sorry to hear that.  Did they saw premature? thin and almost hairless?

IF it is such a two different litters at one time, the second litter may very well be healthy. One of my neigbhours had one cat from such a "second, three weeks later" litter.

IF the first three were premature as suggested by Clynn, the rest will hopefully come just in their suitable time.

So you do have here two different possibilities, both are hopefull for you.

Good luck!
