Hi, my cat started acting weird last week following us around the house crying acting affectionate so i put a blanket on the floor. She layed down and a sac like thing came out of her area. Like 6 hours later at 12 and 1:40 am she had two kittens both alive later that day the one kitten died and the next day the second died. It is now a week later i was woken up by the kids saying " tigers bleeding all over and screaming crying " i get up put something down she layed on it and a baby started coming out. This baby was twice the size as the other ones and i had to help her a little ; the head was too big to come out. The baby came out dead. Should i wait a little bit longer ; she is still bleeding. Maybe shell have another one in the next hour. Sorry i dont know what to do this is my first experience and im worried.

I think I would take her to a Vet, or at least call one.

She may have retained kittens, placenta or both which can cause a severe infection.

Please take her to the Vet ASAP....

The kittens on the photo are these born one week too early?  They seem a little premature.  Which is prob why they died.

Pauses are not ususal, hours and days - as here, where the fully borne come out a whole week later.  THIS seems to be too big, and it was too difficult... One of the few cases where a too long pregnancy was bad...

There may be another one kitten, which may come out easily and hopefully alive, or not.   She may also be done.

Is she bleeding for real, or is it the usual watery, red colored discharge?

BUT.  As the dleivery was difficult and she is bleeding,   I woluld recommend a quick rush to your vet.  If you have several vets to choose among, take one whom is experienced in obstetrics.

An afternon vet how makes his living of some spaying and giving vaccines wont be of much help.

At the very least, do phone - the vet will know which follow up questions to give.

Keep her warm, and see she has water to drink.  Have some white caro syrup or honey in the water - the glucose there will help her recover.

Good luck!

Also when she had the kittens last week after she cleaned them up i had her in a cage just so she could take care of them and she was doing a great job when i put her in there she calmed right down i checked her a little bit later and she brought the kitten to me and layed it down in front of me before it died do you think she knew something was wrong with it?

The ones in the photo were the ones born last week and like 10 minutes after she had the kitten today she was dripping blood then she laid down and a little puddle of blood came out it stopped now, but it was like if you got an open wound and it bleeds it looked that color. And i thought they looked premature compared to the huge one today.

Yes, probably she knew something was wrong, and she hoped you could perhaps do something.  They often do abandon they dying ones, or even carry them away (not to risk predators feeling the smell of death and decay).

Now, prematurea are always a fight uphill, so there wasnt probably antyting to do even if you fought as vigorously as dont know how.    (swedish saying, Im not sure if its so too in english - but you surely understand what I mean).

If the bleeding has stopped she will hopefully make it. But THAT much bleeding is NOT the usual, so her margins are thin...

If you have a decently good vet to contact, please do it.

ps.  SOME bleeding, even with real living blood, isnt unusual. But this is much more than average, and we KNOW she had a difficult delivery...  So, its at least yellow alert, probably red alert.

Take it as red alert till you got more calming proofs.

If it shows she is healthy otherwise, you may perhaps let her be a foster mom for orphans or such?

Just make sure these orphans are decently healthy, you dont want to bring some horrible contagion on your cat...

If so, phone vets around, they often know the needing cases...
