My Cat Tia just had her first kitten. I don't have any KMR at the moment and she's having them in a rather small box.
She doesn't seem to be eating the 1st placenta.

Has she cleaned the kitten? Don't worry too much about the placenta. It came out and that's all that really matters.

Yes she clean the kitten and the kitten seems to be alright, just still has the placenta attached

You can use a piece of dental floss and tie it off about an inch from the kitten. Use blunt scissors or your finger nails and snip the cord a little beyond the floss. You don't need to worry about sterilizing them.

Okay, I already did actually. Kitten one is taken care of and kitten two was just born and is doing well.
Terrific!

yep, and now it's a waiting game for the rest. hard to tell what's going on because the box is so small, I tried and failed to get her to move to a larger box but I got one ready. Second placenta was also delivered.

she seems to be doing good. She's cleaning the kittens really well and everything. I'm just letting her do her mama thing and not interfering to much unless I need to cut a cord.
You may want to offer her some water.

She kinda howled for a moment with this forth one. Watching closely to make sure kitten isn't stuck. @Handsome Kitty Edit: Kitten four has been safely delivered! and so far all placentas are also accounted for. I think I felt one more within so waiting to see with that one.

there was a 5th born some time after I went to bed. My fiance stayed up just in case. Moma delivered before he even realized that it was happening and without any problems. She's doing really well so far and is mainly staying with the babies nursing and cleaning them. I don't have weights just yet I'm going to attempt to get those in a bit.
7am weights
1 105
2 103
3 107
4 87
5 95
Everyone seems to be doing well.

The weights are very good.
Have you been able to get the new family into a bigger box yet? They'll need the space.

That's good to hear from someone who knows more than me. I was concerned about the two smaller ones, but they seem to be nursing without any problems. Yes my fiance got them into a larger box last night. Everyone has much more space.
That's good to hear!
Do you plan to have Tia and your other mom cat spayed?

Yes as soon as I can afford to do so and all the kittens are old enough for it to happen without any ill effects.
Congratulations! Post pics when you can.
