Our foster cat, Missy, had three adorable healthy little ones Saturday night. I could feel that she still had a couple in there, but it was very late and she did so well with the other three that I thought she'd be fine to deliver the others on her own. Next morning, still only three babies.
Sunday night she started mild contractions again while I was rubbing her belly (this seems to bring the contractions on more strongly). It was taking a while so I thought perhaps she didn't want me interfering and I went to sleep... there was a perfect little black baby the next morning and she'd moved the whole littler into another nest box.
Even thought I had thought there had been two more in there, I felt her belly again and I couldnt sense any more kittens at this point.
Well, I was visiting with her this afternoon.. more than two days later... and she's contracting mildly again! Also, checking out all her nest boxes and encouraging me to rub her belly to get the contractions going.
I just left her now so I could call the vet (they're on lunch and the phones are off)... so I came here looking for help.
She has no fever... she's eating and drinking like crazy and she's a perfect mommy. She doesn't even have any bleeding or discharge. If I wasn't an observant person I'd never think twice that she was done birthing...
What do you guys think? She still does have more roundness to her than I would think she should at this point, but if there are any more babes in there then they're not obvious... perhaps hiding under organs?
