It does seem to take forever sometimes! Cats can go to 68-70 days sometimes.
Is she having any discharge?

Nothing at all! She's still eating like a horse, milk is coming in but no leakage and absolutely no discharge!! Something tells me she's going to torture me and be a day 70er!!

She has started to spot a little and her shoulders and chest will quiver. Not sure if that means much
Sounds like pre-labor or early labor signs. Milk coming in is a good sign. Hang in there!

Okay momma went into labor at 7:20 this morning and delivered the first at 8:40 then the second at 9:02 she had a couple more contractions and now it has stopped there is definitely at least 2 more and possibly a third. The 2 that are born are having a hard time finding a tit and latching on it's been a couple of hours is this something I should be worried about?

At this point you should help them to a nipple, yes.
She deliver the others when she is ready. Sometimes cats will deliver kittens conceived on different days, days apart.

This is starting to stress me now it's been 8 hours and no more signs
Of her delivering the kittens are moving but she's just nursing the 2 she's already delivered!! Is it normal to go this long between deliveries?

Yes it's fine. If the kittens are born premature they have a hard time surviving. This is nature's way of giving them their best chance. They will come eventually.
Yes, do not worry since mom is not in distress. The first two may have been conceived early in the heat cycle, and the others several days later in the cycle. We see this occasionally.
As Handsome Kitty said, you do not want premature kittens.
Glad the first two are doing well.

I feel the pain! My baby is on around day 61/62 we aren't sure as the vet was helpless so we've had to monitor by how many weeks ago she was round the male cat as she's indoor usually.
She's keeping me waiting!
Would love to see some pics of the new arrivals just to make me even more impatient haha! congratulations xxx

Well still no more babies! Just waiting for the vet to get in at 8:30 and I'll see what he has to say but not panicking because she's not! She's very happy no discomfort she's eating and nursing........
I agree there is no reason to panic. Even if she has more the best course is to wait for them to come naturally. [emoji]128522[/emoji]
Let us know what the vet says.

Vet says the same thing! As long as there is no straining or bleeding she is doing great! She could be a couple of days before she delivers the rest!
Okay! They will just have different birthdays and the others will wean a few days later most likely! [emoji]128522[/emoji]
I feel your pain about the waiting. My cat Luna is near her time but no labor yet. But the vet said she should be due by the end of this week or sooner. Good luck with your baby girl!

An update! Awoke at 5:05 to 2 more babies the first was stilborn I tried to get her breathing but no luck the second momma was licking but laid down and ignored everyone so I had to cut the umbilical cord and discard the afterbirth! My heart breaks that I couldn't save that one [emoji]128549[/emoji]! So the count is at 4 with 3 surviving. And at the 44hour mark!
