One way to know when she is actually pushing, you will see her whiskers push out/forward.

She may choose to deliver on the couch or your bed, I'd suggest if she seems to favor one spot to lay and spend time at, maybe cover it with a few layers of towels, if she moves and goes to another spot you can put them there under her too.

Otherwise it will be very wet during delivery and you don't want to move her while actively delivering.

Afterwards babies and her can be placed in her box.

Update... she's been on and of sleeping most of today contractions have stopped and she snuggled up with me on the sofa is this normal for a cat to stop her contractions? Will she pick it back up soon? Kittens are active and kicking away in there.

Aww, is sounds like she delayed the labour to wait for you. That's so sweet. It's hard to choose between flesh babies and fur babies, trust me, I know. As long as she's not in any pain or duress, she'll be fine. I'm mad though. I got excited for kittens when I was reading the thread. Poo. [emoji]128569[/emoji]

It's always good to ring the vet, even if it's not an emergency. Keep us posted! [emoji]128568[/emoji][emoji]128151[/emoji][emoji]128568[/emoji]

Don't panic... Don't panic! DON'T PANIC!

I'm the worst, sorry. [emoji]128514[/emoji]

Make sure your supplies are ready: towels, rags/washcloths, heating pad/rice baby, all the works. It gives you time to put your mind on something else for a bit while you're waiting. YOU GOT THIS! [emoji]127881[/emoji]

Finally! She did good at holding out and making you wait. 


Towels, hand towels, scissors, string (I prefer dental floss) in case you need to assist with cords.

When baby comes out, let her do it, never pull. What you want to see is her cleaning and chewing the sac, cleaning face to get the breathing going and chewing the cord.

Baby is ready to snuggle up to her and possibly nurse unless she is too preoccupied at that moment.

I'm online in case anything happens that you need to know how to handle, so no worries.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that. Was it in the birth canal for too long? The next baby can come in an hour or even a day or two later.
